The Bhagavad Gita is a gem so precious in India's spiritual treasury that many regard it not as a volume of sacred verse, but as a living manifestation of the Divine. In the summer of 1974, inside a balmy Boulder, Colorado, warehouse that served as a main hall of a fledgling Naropa Institute, some say a minor miracle occured: The reawakening of the Gita's living presence, as it unfolded in a series of wisdom teachings led by Ram Dass.

This wondrous tale of cosmic adventure immerses the listener in a world of heroes, gods, and demons. It tells the story of the Lord Rama, the 7th incarnation of Lord Vishnu. At about 50,000 lines the original Ramayana is one of the largest epic poems in history - as well as one of the world's most important literary and spiritual masterpieces.

"What would it be like to see all as one?" Alan Watts asks. "We hear about attaining great states of consciousness. But the only way to have a real transformation is to stop thinking about it - and simply experience it." From the 1950s to the 1970s, this seminal teacher sparked the West's love for Eastern wisdom. Now, in these rare recorded gems, he inspires a new generation of inner explorers seeking deeper insights into meditation - its myriad forms, how they work, and what happens when we practice them.

Publisher's Summary
As featured in the Ram Dass documentary film Becoming Nobody, five essential live teaching sessions on audio, presented here in their entirety
"The game is not about becoming somebody, it’s about becoming nobody." (Ram Dass)
If you’re a spiritual explorer of any age or tradition, chances are you’ve heard of Ram Dass. This singular luminary began his “somebody training” as Richard Alpert - the 1960’s Harvard-psychologist-turned-hippie who tripped with Timothy Leary, befriended beat poets and Tibetan lamas, found his lifelong guru in India, and wrote the perennial classic Be Here Now.
That’s the “somebody” part of his story. But for those who’ve experienced Ram Dass live as he shares his insights and personal journey on the way to becoming nobody - he has been for many the spark that ignited them to the liberating truth of who we really are.
This audio collection brings us five essential sessions, featured in the Ram Dass documentary film Becoming Nobody, presented here in their entirety. Each beautifully illuminates a core dimension of Ram Dass’s wisdom. Through teaching stories, true accounts, eye-opening revelations, and his one-of-a-kind sense of humor, this legendary teacher helps show us the way out of the prison of our self-identity - and into the joy of being at once “nobody” and the universal divine at play in the world.

Incredible
Until last week I’d never heard of Ram Dass, but in perfect timing this title made its way into my awareness.
If I was reading this in text, I would have had to highlight every word and dog-ear every page. Superb.
This man is captivating, hilarious, timeless, and a humble spiritual guide. I look forward to returning to this title for many years to come.
What a gift he leaves us with at the end of this book. What a gift for this familiar stranger to reach into the hearts and souls of generations to come, granting peace, love, and light.

This was my first exposure to Ram Dass. It is one of my favourite audiobooks (this and The surrender experiment by Michael singer). The best way to describe this is 50% comedy show and 50% life changing wisdom. Definitely not boring.
I wouldn’t be surprised if I listened to this another 50 times. So amazing.

Really enjoyable but very deep listen
I really enjoyed this listen. Ram Dass speaks as a humble guide, but is also witty and funny. It’s pretty deep content that, in my opinion, will require more than one, probably many listens to understand all he describes and of course putting it into practice would help with the learning of it.
I recommend if you are looking for spiritual depth and understanding.

Ram Dass' Greatest Hits
If you've been following Ram Dass for years, this will serve as a beautiful "Greatest Hits" compilation. Maybe you have heard most of these talks, but the selection is very well made and thoroughly enjoyable, full of wisdom and struggle, which resonates very easily with anyone who listens.
If, on the other hand, you're discovering Ram Dass and want to know more about his work, then this is definitely the best way to dive into his teachings. Not a dull moment.
Ram Dass delivers like no other. What a beautiful, open and honest teacher. Highly recommended.

Awakening is Realizing you are Imprisoned
A very entertaining, humorous listen, but with serious depth worth thinking over.
From the soul's point of view, in the middle level of the soul, the curriculum of the soul has 2 levels. So the soul uses experiences of incarnation to be in the world but not of the world. Soul doesn't have aversions, but soul sees attractions or aversions in the ego. So being in the soul allows you to realize your incarnation is about extracting yourself from attractions and aversions. The point is not to push away from them, but to allow them.

Truth. It frightens most people.
Ram Dass is an American Hero. Sad that the "psychedelics" which assisted Richard Alpert in discovering there IS MORE to life than he'd been aware of as a younger man aren't accessible to the masses. That lack of awareness runs rampant in our "culture". Readily available instead is booze,. How stupid is that? Alcohol is a drug that entraps and kills so many people it's criminal even before one considers the collateral damage it does to those who love them. It's long past time for our "leaders" to start paying attention! This publication is an EXCELLENT collection of Ram Dass teachings. Kudos.

Essential to lovers of Eastern philosophy!
I wanted to like this more than I ended up liking it. I love the title, and I love the opening talk. For me, every talk got weaker and weaker. The opening talk (Somebodiness) is funny, and easy to grasp; Ram Dass is like a spiritual comedian almost. The middle talks, especially the second one was pretty hard to grasp. And the final talk was very hard to listen to for me. Ram spoke very slow, and soft the entire talk. I understand the type of effect he was going for, but it was almost painful to try and listen to it while out walking, I'm a much bigger fan of Alan Watts when it comes to these celebrity gurus of the late 20th century. The first talk is so good, I can see myself coming back to this recording just for that in the future.
