When Be Here Now was first published in 1971, it filled a deep spiritual emptiness, launched the ongoing mindfulness revolution, and established Ram Dass as perhaps the preeminent seeker of the twentieth century. Just ten years earlier, he was known as Professor Richard Alpert. He held appointments in four departments at Harvard University. He published books, drove a Mercedes and regularly vacationed in the Caribbean. By most societal standards, he had achieved great success. . . . And yet he couldn’t escape the feeling that something was missing. Psilocybin and LSD changed that. During a period of experimentation, Alpert peeled away each layer of his identity, disassociating from himself as a professor, a social cosmopolite, and lastly, as a physical being. Fear turned into exaltation upon the realization that at his truest, he was just his inner-self: a luminous being that he could trust indefinitely and love infinitely. And thus, a spiritual journey commenced. Alpert headed to India where his guru renamed him Baba Ram Dass—“servant of God.” He was introduced to mindful breathing exercises, hatha yoga, and Eastern philosophy. If he found himself reminiscing or planning, he was reminded to “Be Here Now.” He started upon the path of enlightenment, and has been journeying along it ever since. Be Here Now is a vehicle for sharing the true message, and a guide to self-determination. Review: Be here Now book. - Item is excellent but damaged due to Evri leaving it out in the rain. Review: For kool cats and hip kids - Written in 1971, this book must have been one of the first written to the new generation of 'cats' who were interested in Indian spirituality and yoga, but knew next to nothing about it. So as others have said, it's in three parts (the fourth is simply a list of recommended books). The first I found very interesting about the early journey of Ram Dass. It gives a real flavour of the time, when nothing was tired and people were open to new ideas and experiences. The second part is a kind of creative vision of text and drawing which at first will seem naive to modern eyes, and yet grows on you. There are some ideas that can seem so dry on the page, but with art really comes alive with feeling - ideas you will have read before if you're into the subject. Also, the creative spirit of the 60s is there, which is no small thing. The third part is a 'manual for being a conscious being' and again, if you've read round this subject in other books there won't be many surprises, but again, it harkens to a time when this thinking was absolutely new to the western ear. The information in the book still holds true today, despite being very earnest in the last part at points. However, the book is ultimately made with love - the love that sustained those early seekers, and continues to sustain those today looking for an idea of what a Guru is, how others made that journey, and what it might look like for you. A social history, a spiritual comic, a guide to enlightenment. ## Features - New - Mint Condition - Dispatch same day for order received before 12 noon - Guaranteed packaging - No quibbles returns ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | 6,000 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) 2 in Hindu Philosophy 16 in Philosophy of Buddhism 17 in Occult Spiritualism | | Customer Reviews | 4.7 out of 5 stars 12,336 Reviews | ## Images ![Be Here Now: Ram Dass - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/810cf8Tv5-L.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Be here Now book. *by T***Y on 22 February 2026* Item is excellent but damaged due to Evri leaving it out in the rain. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ For kool cats and hip kids *by M***N on 9 March 2017* Written in 1971, this book must have been one of the first written to the new generation of 'cats' who were interested in Indian spirituality and yoga, but knew next to nothing about it.
