Ram Dass: Soul Land

Tami Simon speaks with Ram Dass, whose name means “servant of God.” Ram Dass is a respected spokesman on the integration of Western culture and Eastern philosophy. He is author of the classic book Be Here Now, and the landmark books Grist for the Mill and How Can I Help? With Sounds True, he has created several audio programs, including Experiments in Truth and Love, Service, Devotion, and the Ultimate Surrender. In this episode, Tami speaks with Ram Dass about his understanding of the “I” or the self, his experience of his guru Maharaj-ji living inside of him as a sense of presence, the individual soul, and the atman, which Ram Dass calls the “mega soul.” (64 minutes)
