Ram Dass, originally named Richard Alpert, passed away a few days before Christmas. PhD in Psychology from Stanford. "Spiritual teacher." For me, he's been a name in the crowd. Jules Evans talks both captivatingly and personally about the person behind the name and his journey. (There's a box for login, you can just click it away.)
