Sticking with the subject of money, click here<\/a> to see a filmed conversation about poverty and prosperity between spiritual teachers Ram Dass and Wayne Dyer<\/a> on Ram Dass’s new, beautifully produced website, RamDass.org<\/a>. <\/p>\n

Ram Dass<\/a>, as you no doubt know, was a Harvard professor in the 1960s whose worldly, pretentious ambitions as a striving American were uprooted by the religious teachings of Indian guru Neem Karoli Baba<\/a>. <\/p>\n

After decades of distilling what he’d learned in India and writing best sellers that taught people to “be here now,” <\/a> Ram Dass had a debilitating stroke in 1997 that left him unable to teach or travel. So in this film clip, Ram Dass discusses his astonishment that when word of his difficulties went public, Dyer (a fan of Ram Dass’s lifetime of work) wrote his<\/em> list of three million readers seeking immediate funds to cover Ram Dass’s ongoing medical care and living expenses. Checks of gratitude poured in, Ram Dass has a home and steady care on Maui now, and “the universe,” as Dyer says, “took care of it.” <\/p>\n

RamDass.org is a fertile garden of broadband teachings. A good deal on the site is free, but subscribers gain access to a large Ram Dass archive, Ram Dass\u2019s current talks, teachings, meditations, satsang, daily words, a monthly newsletter, and a “Recollections of Maharaji” archive–all for nine dollars <\/a>a month. I just subscribed, and I think you’ll find it very worthwhile. Click here<\/a> to find the list of upcoming workshops and chats. Here’s a link<\/a> to readings and photos from the life of this famous teacher who brought the East to the West.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
