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.
