Ram, Ram, Ram Dass, aka Dr. Richard Alpert, takes us to the next stage of the spiritual journey in this work. He shares more about his Guru Mahara-ji and lights the path for the spiritual aspirant to continue on his way to enlightenment. In this superb work he outlines the steps for those who are serious about practice. For those who aren?t so sure where they are he explains stages of the journey. His great compassion as a human being and a teacher are still quite evident in this work. Dispelled are myths about extreme diets and procedures for continuing on a spiritual path. For those who have been scared off the trail by thinking they must throw out their entire life?s experience he offers hope. He shows that gentle practice is acceptable and that diets and Sadhanas can be tailored to fit the individual rather than adhere to strict laws and rules. The beauty of this work and any work of Ram Dass is that he openly shares his personal experiences with the reader. He shows his own weaknesses and strengths so that the apirant and inquirer can see that one need not be some grea visionary or elevated being to simply start the journey home. He has practiced many spiritual traditions and has a comprehensive knowledge of Buddhism, Sufism, Christianity and other paths besides the Hindu religion which is his personal lineage. I would strongly recommend this work to anyone contemplating beginning a spiritual journey. I would also recommend it to those interested in philosophical and religious studies. For those who are lost and aren?t sure which way to go or where to turn in their lives, this work is here to light the way. Ram Dass illustrates methods by which one can get started on a real practice of Yoga and meditation. It is something that one can begin here and now without any special equipment or complications. Namaste!
