"May Ram Dass's intimate and heartfelt account inspire others to find their own path of true love, compassion, and joyful service." —Thich Nhat Hanh, author of The Heart of Buddha's Teaching
Ram Dass's long-awaited Be Love Now is the transformational teaching of a forty-year journey to the heart. The author of the two-million-copy classic Be Here Now and its influential sequel Still Here, Dass is joined once more by Rameshwar Das—a collaborator from the Love Serve Remember audio recordings—to offer this intimate and inspiring exploration of the human soul. Like Deepak Chopra's Book of Secrets, the Dalai Lama's Art of Happiness, and Jon Kabat-Zinn's Coming to Our Senses, Ram Dass's Be Love Now will serve as a lodestar for anyone seeking to enhance their spiritual awareness and improve their capacity to serve—and love—the world around them.
"Be Love Now, like Be Here Now, is equal parts memoir and manual of meditation. It's hard to believe the two books are separated by more than thirty years. The writing in Be Love Now is as fresh and charged with insight as the earlier one." —Los Angeles Times
"If the West even approaches enlightenment in the Twenty-first Century, there's no way to overestimate the role of Ram Dass in making it happen. He planted seeds that turned into a million trees; if and when they blossom, they will exude the fragrance of his teaching forever." —Marianne Williamson
"Be Love Now reveals the true meaning of yoga, the union of the open heart—this is required reading for anyone who follows a path of devotion." —Daniel Goleman, New York Times–bestselling author of Emotional Intelligence

      Ram Dass first told the story of how he met his guru, Neem Karoli Baba, known as Maharaj-ji, in the now-legendary Be Here Now (1972). Ram Dass has been a spiritual teacher ever since, ceaselessly reflecting on his profound transformation in India four decades ago, especially in the wake of his debilitating stroke in 1997. In this vivid, often mind-blowing blend of spiritual memoir and teaching stories, written with his fellow devotee, Rameshwar Das, Ram Dass remembers his gurus baffling powers; candidly describes the tensions within the satsang, or community of seekers, surrounding Maharaj-ji; and explains his arduous inner work as he practiced yoga, chanted mantras that work on both vibrational and conceptual planes, and opened his mind to the presence of realized beings, including the Indian saints whose life stories he tells. Beneath the esoteric complexity is the spiritual essence, the unconditional love that Maharaj-ji channeled, the love that Ram Dass seeks to share with others. Love that is like sunshine, a natural force, a completion of what is, a bliss that permeates every particle of existence.(Reprinted with permission of Booklist, copyright 2010, American Library Association.)

      Feted and derided, Dass (born Richard Alpert), one-time friend and associate of Timothy Leary, with whom he was turned out of Harvard for their experiments in the use of LSD, added a phrase to the language with the title of his first major book, Be Here Now. This book continues Dass's story where it left off in Still Here, which includes an account of his life-threatening stroke, and is as much memoir as spiritual counsel. VERDICT Essential for Dass fans, this book is also of interest to students of contemporary Hinduism.
