Baba Ram Dass, 1976 Lecture on Soundings Mindful Media Podcast

This podcast features a rare, previously unreleased lecture by Baba Ram Dass we recorded in 1976.  Dean Evenson and I videotaped him while we were working with Grassroots TV, the Aspen public access station.  Alongside the podcast, we present the entire video of the lecture on our new Soundings Mindful Media YouTube channel. We hope you will check out the channel and subscribe for more meaningful content coming soon.

With the passing of Baba Ram Dass (aka Richard Albert), we honor his legacy by sharing this lecture that we recently uncovered in our vast video archive. Like so many in our generation, Dean and I were deeply inspired by his book Be Here Now and the stories of meditating with his guru in India. Ram Dass is also part of the reason we started our music label Soundings of the Planet in 1979. Thanks for subscribing to Soundings Mindful Media and for sharing the podcast and video with your friends. May his wit and wisdom live on in our hearts. People who wish to support his memory can donate to his Love Serve Remember Foundation.

Dean Evenson and I met d’Rachael in the early years of creating of our record label Soundings of the Planet. She was already an accomplished musician and when she added the gentle tones of her harp to Dean’s flute, it helped give birth to the inspired and magical sound that spawned a generation of peaceful earth music. Even though she has lived in Mexico for almost 40 years, d’Rachael and Dean have maintained their unique collaboration on numerous recordings and live concerts. Recently, they completed recording a wonderful new album called Tropical Relaxation set for release November 15th.  Hope you enjoy learning more about d’Rachael.
