I want to let you know how much I have enjoyed these first two podcast. I also want you to know that I am from the mountains of Eastern Ky to give you an idea of how far the message is spreading. I found you through Duncan Trussel who I found through Joe Rogan who I found by randomly listening to the top podcast.

When did Mr. Alpert record this? Does he prefer being called Ram Dass? I love his spoken words.

Dave, Most of these recordings were done in the late sixties and early seventies – Richard Alpert was Ram Dass’ name before he left for India and met Neem Karoli Baba (Maharaji), his guru who gave him the name “Ram Dass”. Thanks for listening!

I love these podcasts too. I first heard RD’s (tapes) way back – perhaps in the seventies and have been referencing his thoughts and words ever since. My original tapes I have copied and given to many people, all of whom have been delighted to have them. They are very worn now and I’d love to have copies of them – but it seems they are not available in their original form.
I used RD’s words to my father as he was dying and remember that situation with great gratitude to RD. So I have come to these podcasts. Wonderful to hear his voice again. I began by listening to Podcast 1, but concluded it wasn’t going to be RD at all, but some other guy talking about his experiences with RD. So I gave up.
Only when I persevered with this no. 2 Podcast did I realize that in fact RD was going to say something. And I’ve enjoyed it hugely. However I don’t understand why we need the long intro. from ? Marcus. I’m sure he’s a wonderful guy and very worthy, but in his intro. I feel ego – which RD, although he’s talking about himself, doesn’t have.
I think this valuable service would be much improved if each podcast went straight in to RD himself. He doesn’t need explanation. He just is. And his words stand by themselves without need of improvement.
On my wall – ” The wild geese do not intend to cast their reflections. The water has no mind to receive their image.”
Thankyou RD.
