Ram Dass, Going Home

2016 USA / Duration: 32 mins
Directed by: Derek Peck

As Eastern mysticism has gone virtually mainstream, Ram Dass, Going Home checks in with the legendary American writer and spiritual teacher whose 1971 book, Be Here Now, arguably launched the still-expanding awareness of awareness in the United States. Filmmaker Derek Peck visits Ram Dass at his home in Maui. In his mid-80s, Ram Dass discusses major milestones in his journey, from early drug use to his spiritual education on visits to India, to a 1997 stroke that was “an act of grace” because it forced him inward. Nearing death, he is still teaching. “More and more love, more and more love, more and more love,” he says at one point. “Truth, love, consciousness, that’s what God is to me. It’s just consciousness.” Death, he later observes, “is another step towards home.”
