We played this for my dear brother on loud speaker the last few weeks of his young life. I always come back to it and feel a sense of calm and freedom. I imagine him soaring like an eagle above us in the beautiful sunlit sky and mountains in the background. ❤❤❤

I was a seventeen year old kid who grew up in North Cambridge for three years i lived night and day in Harvard Sq. A guy i met from Harvard invited me to a dinner party. About twenty people. RamDass sitting at the head of a long dining room table. I was lost. I had zero idea what he was talking about the thing was - he was so nice they were all really nice. Years later i got invited to the Llama Foundation in Northern New Mexico where he partially wrote Be Here Now. I told them my Ram Dass story. It has since burned to the ground but i will never forget it. They gave me a Be Here Now prayer flag i treasured for years so fast forward to 2005 my dream of moving to New Mexico was realized it was great until my son i got clean for twenty one years prior comes out to New Mexico and picks up heroin and is dead in less than a month. two years later i was seriously planning on driving up to the mountain and check out permanently. i turned on the tv and there he was - Ram Dass - i can't even remember exactly what he said i was so fucking happy to see him - it saved my life in that moment. God bless him - right here right now

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 . . .

Needs to be more Ram Dass shorts with music on Youtube in my opinion. :)

Listening on Christmas Day when feeling lonely. This is brilliant. Thank you Ram Das .

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
