Ram Dass

I've been thoroughly enjoying this app. A lot of thought, contemplation and expertise has clearly been invested in creating such a beautiful, useful, well-designed and easy to navigate app. The notification emoticons are cleverly creative, the images a mindful reminder of what I'm about to absorb. I'm a late bloomer to Ram Dass, although I'm familiar with some of the other "low-hanging fruit" in this wonderful, intentional, conscious community. Unusual for other apps, I am able to use another screen while listening to the podcasts. What a treasure and legacy this app provides, a lighthouse eternally shining for generations to come. I'm very appreciative of the whole Ram Dass community and their ability to glean the best from social media. Thank you for mining this library of recorded gems, Nathan. Thank you, Raghu for your relatable and experiential hosting. Thank you, Rachael, for your lovely and generous emails.

This is an absolutely wonderful application--it is user friendly, well designed, and full of insightful teachings. I highly recommend this app to any and all spiritual seekers. It is frequently updated with new content and daily quotes so there's always more to learn, digest, remember, and practice. This is soul food--a nourishing gift and a welcome reminder to be present even/especially when on a mobile device. In my opinion, the Be Here Now app is an example of using technology responsibly, for the greater good. Thank you to the LSR team for working to make these transformative teachings accessible to all of us. In particular, I am so grateful for the archived lectures that have been disseminated through podcasts. I've personally taken refuge in these talks during a challenging time in my life, and am continually inspired by the Be Here Now network. It truly guides all of us along the path Home ❤️

Waking up in the morning with my chronic neurological condition is a challenging experience, but receiving a morning talk, quote, or article from Ram Dass to meditate on instead of my symptoms has made the past few weeks so much better. I have been awaiting the release of this app since Raghu Markus started hinting about it on Ram Dass's "Here and Now" podcast last year; I can now easily browse decades of Ram Dass's deep thoughts from anywhere. In the moment, I can't always get to my bookcase, but I usually have my phone wherever I may be when I need a shift of perspective. How many apps on your phone do you mainly use to look at cat pictures? Surely there's room in there for wisdom to reach for when life exceeds your ability to handle it.

Ram Dass is an amazing person. This is my first and only review of any iOS app. I'm nearly at a loss for words, or, more astonished than anything, about the journey that this app, and the loving wisdom of Ram Dass can guide us all through. Strange how going inward is such a pain revealing process. Yet, at the same time, it's the most liberating path I've dared step foot on. This app offers words of wisdom at 6am (which really helps when you wake up in a dark room and your thoughts are swarming uncontrollably), great articles to relate with, awesome videos and podcasts that help us understand exactly how it all is. I hope this small review can offer some insight on what can be expected, or unexpected, by downloading this app. Love.

We have had this app for a long time and use it regularly as a part of our daily spiritual hygiene. You can be driving to work and throw on one the free podcasts and in minutes be transported to a place of supreme understanding and love. It's also filled with incredible articles for study and reading, quotes, and videos. All of it free. And it's recently been upgraded to be even better. If you don't know about Ram Dass, consider this your invitation from the universe to get to know him and his work. You won't regret it. He has been a guide for us in many ways and we have so much gratitude for his influence on this journey.
