The biker gang intentionally misspelled the word in their own name, so even though it’s “wrong,” it’s correct as far as the name of that particular group.
He and Leary fell out hard in the late 70s I think when Alpert denounced Leary publicly as an informant
They reconciled before Leary’s death in 1996
My comment still applies! ….ewww!
If you’re on the bus, you’re on the bus.
If you get off the bus, you’re still on the bus.
If you never get on the bus, you’re nowhere.
I know she said.
I know he said.
Together they said, We know.
and I said, Don’t tell me.
I’m not here man. I’m in Vietnam Baby...
He tried being straight fathered a child he conceived with an undergrad at Stanford maybe when he was 24 before Celebrity
Dass opposed Leary’s commercialization of acid culture and his narcissistic self aggrandizement
He never had a Moody Blues song written about him. What a shame.
I always thought the name Ram Dass was a private joke even if his Guru gave it to him. He had to know how it sounds.
“Resettling in America in 1974, he started a new life based on a different kind of turn-on—meditation—and his own synthesis of Buddhist, Hindu, Advaita, and Sufi teachings, and later, Jewish mysticism.
The key words here are “his own.” This is not of God. It is against God and thus is of God’s enemy, Satan. Mr. Alpert and his fellow-travelers promoted psychedelic drug use and paganism to an entire generation while denying and denigrating the one true God. It does no one any good to deny this or try to water it down.
Rammedass.
Hmm.
I prefer Leadbelly's version of "Black Betty".
“DEVILS DICIPLES” is, in fact, the name of the club.
Knarf, “End Stage” COPD isn’t a death sentence anymore. Watch your health and keep fighting. The world needs more 1%ers like you.
I saw that name on the Wiki death roll. I thought it was a gay porn star... well, turned out he was bi.
Prayers for you, dude.
...and apparently I wasn’t the only one who made the same observation. :-P

From another article about Ram Dass: "Ram Dass himself admitted that hundreds of LSD trips, pilgrimages to India, periods of celebrity, and thousands of sexual liaisons had left him, at the end of life, depressed and searching. "
It sounds like he was misled by the Deceiver--- and had a big hand in misleading thousands of others.
Satan is cruel.
........... see you soon.
