Journey of Awakening by Ram Dass

Journey of Awakening by Ram Dass

Ram Dass is an American psychologist and spiritual teacher who has studied and practiced meditation for many years. Here he shares his understanding and explores the many paths of meditation--from mantra, prayer, singing, visualizations, and just sitting to movement meditations such as tai chi--and suggests how you can find methods suitable for you. He illuminates the stages and benefits of meditative practice, and provides wise and often humorous advice on overcoming difficulties along the way.

Ram Dass visited India for the first time in 1967. Dr. Richard Alpert, an acclaimed Harvard psychologist and psychedelic pioneer with Dr. Timothy Leary, was still Dr. Richard Alpert. He had continued his psychedelic study until his fatal journey to India in 1967. He met his teacher in India, Neem Karoli Baba, also known as Maharajji, who gave him the name Ram Dass, which means servant of God. Everything changed at that point: he began his intense dharmic existence, and he became a crucial figure in a culture that has been reverberating with the words Be Here Now ever since. Ram Dass's spirit has been resurrected.
