Moderator: Keshav Gupta, Founder, The Dais

The Dais and Partners are hosting Rameshwar Das for a fascinating conversation about  his journey, experiences with Ram Dass, Neem Karoli Baba and their message and relevance for the youth today. This will be followed by an interactive QnA with the attendees on Zoom and Facebook Live.

Introduction

Ram Dass (1931–2019) first went to India in 1967. He was still Dr. Richard Alpert, an already eminent Harvard psychologist and psychedelic pioneer with Dr. Timothy Leary. He continued his psychedelic research until his journey to the East in 1967, driving overland to India, where he met his guru, Neem Karoli Baba, affectionately known as Maharaj-ji. Maharaj-ji gave him the name Ram Dass, which means "servant of God." Everything changed then—his intense dharmic life started, and he became a pivotal influence on a culture that has reverberated with the words “be here now” ever since.

Rameshwar Das will also be introducing the book, ‘Being Ram Dass’ during the conversation.

About the Speaker

Being Ram Dass

Set against a backdrop of nine decades of sweeping cultural change, Being Ram Dass shares this modern day luminary's journey from psychologist to renegade Harvard psychedelics researcher to beloved spiritual icon.
