Consciousness, Aging and the New Millennium and An Evening with Ram Dass
Ram Dass began his life as Richard Alpert, who went on to become an eminent Harvard psychologist, where he partnered with psychedelic pioneer Dr. Timothy Leary.  On a trip to India, Alpert met his guru Neem Karoli who gave him the name Ram Dass, which means "servant of God." After this pivotal encounter, he became a significant influence on a culture that has reverberated with the words “Be here now” ever since.  Be Here Now is the title of Ram Dass’s best-selling book, which many consider a bible on their spiritual journeys.  Ram Dass has been a guiding light since the 1960s, carrying along millions on the journey, and helping free them from their bonds as he has worked his way through his own.
