Frequently Asked Questions

Ram Dass was born Richard Alpert in 1931 and became one of the most influential spiritual teachers of the 20th century. A Harvard psychology professor in the 1960s, he conducted groundbreaking research on consciousness with Timothy Leary before traveling to India, where he met his guru Neem Karoli Baba (Maharajji). This encounter transformed his life and led him to become Ram Dass, meaning “servant of God.” His 1971 book “Be Here Now” became a counterculture classic and introduced Eastern spirituality to Western audiences. For over 50 years, he taught about consciousness, love, service, and the spiritual path, touching millions of lives with his humor, honesty, and profound wisdom. He passed away in 2019, leaving behind a rich legacy of teachings that continue to guide seekers today through his Love Serve Remember Foundation.

The Love Serve Remember Foundation (LSRF) is a nonprofit organization dedicated to preserving and continuing the teachings of Ram Dass and his guru, Neem Karoli Baba. Founded by Ram Dass and his community of friends, LSRF makes transformational wisdom teachings accessible through sliding-scale courses, free podcasts, social media, books, films, and a vast digital archive. The foundation has digitized over 45 years of Ram Dass’ lectures and teachings – many originally on reel-to-reel tapes and audio cassettes – with most content offered free of charge to spiritual seekers worldwide. LSRF also hosts retreats on Maui and in Boone, NC, guided by Ram Dass’ teachings and featuring esteemed contemporary wisdom teachers, many of whom were close friends with him. Through Ram Dass’ Inner Academy, social media content, the Be Here Now Network podcast platform, and community fellowship programs, LSRF continues to share Ram Dass’ message of presence and Loving Awareness with new generations.

The Love Serve Remember Foundation is led by a dedicated team of staff and board members who knew Ram Dass personally or were deeply influenced by his teachings.

Our staff brings diverse backgrounds in media production, technical know-how, community building, and spiritual practice. Their work includes creating courses, running multiple social media channels and podcasts, organizing retreats, collaborating with artists, and nurturing the vast Satsang (spiritual community) that Ram Dass helped bring together. Many view this work as much more than a job, but rather a part of their life’s path.
