Abstract

Ram Dass is one of America's most renowned spiritual teachers. Born Richard Alpert, he received his Ph.D. in psychology from Stanford University and taught there and at Harvard University before going to India and receiving the name Ram Dass (“Servant of God”) from his guru. He has long been involved in many charitable service organizations, particularly those devoted to providing healthcare for underserved populations. Among his many books are Be Here Now (currently in its fortieth printing), How Can I Help, and Compassion in Action; his newest book is Still Here: Embracing Aging, Changing, and Dying (Putnam, 2000).
