Ram Dass
Ram Dass first went to India in 1967. He was still Dr. Richard
Alpert, an already eminent Harvard psychologist and psychedelic
pioneer with Dr.Timothy Leary. He continued his psychedelic
research until that fateful Eastern trip in 1967, when he traveled
to India. In India, he met his guru, Neem Karoli Baba,
affectionately known as Maharaj-ji. Maharaj-ji gave Ram Dass his
name, which means "servant of God." Everything changed then—his
intense dharmic life started, and he became a pivotal influence on
a culture that has reverberated with the words "Be Here Now" ever
since.
Be Here Now, Ram Dass’s monumentally influential and seminal work,
still stands as the highly readable centerpiece of Western
articulation of Eastern philosophy, and how to live joyously 100
percent of the time in the present, luminous or mundane. Be Here
Now continues to be the instruction manual of choice for
generations of spiritual seekers. Forty years later, it’s still
part of the timeless present. Being here now is still being here
now. Ram Dass now resides on Maui, where he shares satsang, kirtan,
and where he can amplify the healing process in the air and waters
of Hawaii. His work continues to be a path of teaching and
inspiration to so many. Ram Dass’s spirit has been a guiding light
for three generations, carrying along millions on the journey,
helping free them from their bonds as he has worked his way through
his own.
