Telling his story in "three chapters," Ram Dass explains how he moved from the structured academic world to wide-open experiences with psychedelics (and the Harvard experiments with Timothy Leary). Then in India, he met his guru, Neem Karoli Baba (Maharaji), who taught him to "just be here now." Ram Dass shares with us how we can all attain a state of well-being. The result is that we'll become more centered, and we'll learn to see the God in each other, which ultimately leads to an overwhelming sense of oneness with, and love for, our fellow humans. He recorded "Here we all are", which reflects the transformation of Dr. Richard Alpert to Ram Dass, in 1969. Bonus: "Be here now" music included: This CD features music from Ram Dass lectures from 1968 to 1970. It was one of the first recordings of its kind to introduce the concepts of Kirtan (chanting) to this country. It also has some of the most important mantras from the Vedic tradition of India.
