Ram Dass, Going Home

First of all, my humble obeisances to Baba Ram Dass. He is among my spiritual teachers, and such an amazing soul.

This film introduces Ram Dass, and walks us through his day, gives us an intimate insight into his thoughts and meditations. You see him sitting in his chair, with his mala beads, chanting "I am loving awareness, I am loving awareness..." That is exactly who Ram Dass is, loving awareness, a servant of Ram, a teacher for everyone. In front of him is a large photograph of his Guru, Neem Baba Karoli or Maraji, the soul who inspired Ram Dass's first book, Be Here Now. Although Maraji has left the body, his presence is ever so...present... in the room and throughout the film.

After Ram Dass had his stroke, it forced him inside his soul, more than he already was. He said "I don't wish you the stroke, but I wish you the grace from the stroke." That grace is prevalent throughout this film. The cinematography is astounding, as is the teachings of Baba Ram Dass. His words, though slower now from the stroke, hit you just the same. A more beautiful film , for me, has yet to be seen. The sheer beauty is breath taking, it is one that I will watch over and over.

Ram Dass has been teaching people how to die consciously for decades and now that his time may be near, he is doing it with grace. "It's like taking off a tie shoe," he says.

Haribol, Hare Krishna, Ram Ram Ram....

35 minutes with Ram Dass as he lives with joy and grace, embracing the suffering from his stroke, and living out the best of his life's teaching. Its authentic and precise expression of grace show the filmmakers' care and love of the subject.

The film is touching,mesmerising and insanely beautiful. The movie takes you on a nostalgic trip to the land of unknown, the cinematographers have done a wonderful job. There is a calming and a soothing play of the soundtrack along with soothing visuals. The film could have been longer . Simply stunning.

This short (31min) beautiful documentary is an experience for the senses. All vibrates, all breathes, the present moment is felt in each frame. This film isn't a meditation on "being" through followings ram Dass in his daily life, watching Nature and sending its Breath, spiritual principles are simply lived instead of taught. The editing by Taryn Gould is superb and intuitive, DP Calep seppa did a mangnifucent Job at showing us the pulse of life in all things, Director Derek Peck followed his heart and soul which lead to a film filled with Love. Thank you for this mini masterpiece ! One breath at a time. Best of al is the Joy that radiates from Ram Dass and those around him. What a gift!

This is an experience of being here now and simultaneously sliding towards home. I literally felt the Grace of Truth and Love being transmitted. It is beautifully filmed, edited and so entertaining focused, that it feels you are visiting with Ram Dass. A healing remembrance of who and All we are on many dimensions. Needs to be seen by healing professionals. An amazing gift to the hospice community as well as all the unsung heroic caretakers of the world.

Look forward to revisiting this movie again.
