Ram Dass
Ram Dass, one of America’s most beloved spiritual figures, has made his mark on the world by teaching the path of the heart and promoting service in the areas of social consciousness and care for the dying. Ram Dass first went to India in 1967. He was still Dr. Richard Alpert, an eminent Harvard psychologist and psychedelic pioneer with Dr. Timothy Leary. In India, he met his guru, Neem Karoli Baba, affectionately known as Maharajji, who gave Ram Dass his name, which means “servant of God.” On his return from India, Ram Dass became a pivotal influence in our culture with the publication of Be Here Now.He now makes his home in Maui, teaching worldwide through his website at RamDass.org, and continuing the work of Neem Karoli Baba through his Love Serve Remember Foundation.
