Experiments In Truth - Ram Dass

In 1997, Ram Dass suffered a debilitating stroke that left him struggling to speak again to the generation that he so inspired. For more than 30 years, his life has served as a spiritual laboratory, where he has explored many paths from both East and West in his attempt to understand the nature of consciousness. Along the way, he has touched thousands of seekers with his personal search for greater truths. From the beginning, his retreat talks and lectures have been meticulously recorded and archived. The Experiments in Truth app is a historic, handpicked collection of his most important recordings.

In the early 60s, as a young Harvard professor known as Richard Alpert, Ram Dass sought truth and a way to inner consciousness through renegade psychedelic explorations. Disappointed with the short-lived results, he traveled to India. There he met his guru, Neem Karoli Baba, who instructed him to "love everyone and tell the truth." Richard Alpert returned to America as Ram Dass to share the fruit of his search, teaching that through the practice of love and service, it is possible to awaken to an awareness of what our lives are truly about.

Join this master storyteller and pioneer of engaged spirituality in America for eight inspiring lectures, each a gem of humor, insight, and intelligence about the spiritual journey today. Here is real-life wisdom for people of all faiths and all walks of life.

"This spiritual path uses as its vehicle for transformation our actions themselves," Ram Dass has written. "That is, we gain internal freedom through external action." With the Experiments in Truth app, travel this transformative path side-by-side with one of Americas most beloved spiritual figures of this century.

About the Author

When 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, who gave him the name Ram Dass, meaning "servant of God." Ram Dass life changed drastically, becoming intensely dharmic, and he became a pivotal influence on a culture that has since reverberated with the words “Be Here Now." His audio programs with Sounds True include the Ram Dass Audio Collection and Love, Service, Devotion, and the Ultimate Surrender.
