Richard returned to Boston, renamed Ram Das, which means servant of God, with a new sense of purpose, to teach a generation a lesson he learned in the East to live in the moment. And he wrote his classic bestselling book Be Here Now In nineteen ninety seven at sixty five Ramdas suffered a massive stroke doctors gave him a ten percent chance of survival, but Ramdas is still here, and his message as strong as ever. So on a magnificent Maui day with the Pacific Ocean as our backdrop, I met Ram Das for the first time in his own backyard. So it's an honor to be here.”

He was brilliant, charismatic, and believed mind expanding psychedelic drugs could be used in psychological treatment, a theory that also intrigued Richard Albert. The professors tested this theory on students and were famously fired from Harvard for their research in nineteen sixty three. It was there he met Maharaji who became his guru, or spiritual guide, and taught him the power of uncontrollable.”
