I never did like people who profess enlightenment all the while taking followers and sometimes possessions and money from them. It was a time when LSD was prevalent and many were easy to lead .
AS a person , I offer condolences on his passing and may he RIP.

I was NEVER into the drug scene & I don’t even remember him, so he was NEVER important to me. I’m sorry he passed. I would find it interesting to see what path his life took once he grew up!!!

“How do you feel about the passing of Baba Ram Dass”

I don’t.

I was deeply moved by his books. They helped shape my life and spoke to me deeply. I am very sad to know of the loss his passing means to the world, but I’m realistic knowing that death is just a part of life. He wrote about death a lot throughout his life. He meditated with prisoners on death row once. He was an important figure in modern thought.

We’re all just walking each other home. ~ Baba Ram Dass

He will be missed.

And, @Hawaii_Jake he lived on Maui for the last 20 years or more, making him a fellow Hawaiian…

Indifferent

Indifferent.

To paraphrase Thanos: I do not even know who that is.

He was a key factor in the expansion of my understanding of spirituality.

(I thought that was Timothy Leary @Bill1939…)

No, @Dutchess_III, it was Richard. He had a radio show aired weekly on WTAO-FM broadcasted from Herrin, Illinois when I was a Junior at SIU-C.

Also, is this one of those joke names? Like Sillius Soddus, or Biggus Dickus?
Because it sounds like “Baba Rammed Ass”.

@ragingloli you are clearly culturally deprived from the zeitgeist of the 1960s and 1970s in hippie America.
