Great spiritual Saint…a yogi..wanna meet him..godbless.
Thank you.So blessed.
I recall reading Be Here Now back in '71/'72 and it led me eventually to discover all sorts of stuff: karma, yoga, meditation, contemplation, wisdom, self-discovery and eventually to discover Buddhism. I love Ram Dass, always have done, always will do . . . a blessed man . . .
Thank you , thank you , thank you.
Needs to be more Ram Dass shorts with music on Youtube in my opinion. :)
Wonderful clip, thank you.
I'm curious if Ram Dass ever met or spoken about Alan Watts.
@nedthetoothpik
Thank you in advance.
LINDO como é a VIDA
Hi…this is beautiful in so many ways…now, about the music. Is there anyone out there who can find sheet music for Gay Malkin's piano work for this video? I haven't played the piano in years and would love to play this one…thank-you
Ram Dass was once upon a time an eminent Harvard scholar called Richard Alpert, Ph.D. and the first scholar to be dismissed from this bastion of 'learning', due to his experimental use of LSD with Timothy Leary; also dist.
I am the same age as Ram Dass and have been following him in a sort of on and off way for most of my life and had the pleasure many years ago in Amsterdam of meeting him and asking questions about his prison reform philosophy; a prison can be a monastic experience. He introduced meditation to some prisons in Oregon, and of those who participated in his workshops the recidivist rate was drastically reduced.
But what I like most about the people who have commented here is is that you are young, aware and working on your consciousness.
Your transmission from 'this ' to 'that'.
In 1971 Ram Dass published 'Remember, Be Here Now', which describes his transition from Richard Alpert to Babba Ram Dass.
Your own transition from this to that: Richard Alpert to Ram Dass, might well be served by sourcing this classic explanation of the process of transformation, despite the difficulties that this might entail.
Peace
Ram Dass isn't saying anything that I haven't heard from any other guru. But the cinemetography of this video is absolutely mesmerizing.
Does anybody know: where can i listen to the music alone? Is it available somewhere?
Thank you Gary and a special "Thank You" to Ram Dass…………………….
