"A gift of love from the man who introduced me to the idea of
higher consciousness and became one of my greatest teachers." - Dr.
Wayne Dyer
"...A very timely and valuable treatise. It is a book about love --
love from the intuitive heart, from the place where we connect to
the universe, from the place where the judging mind is absorbed
into the heart-mind. The teachings are encapsulated in Ram Dass'
recounting of his spiritual journey. As a former Harvard
psychologist, he is uniquely positioned to explain the differences
between Eastern and Western concepts of spirituality and
enlightenment. It is a compelling text, chock full of history,
teaching, and truth." - New Age Retailer

"So many people are desperately searching for love, whether
consciously or unconsciously. May Ram Dass' intimate and heartfelt
account inspire others to find their own path of true love,
compassion, and joyful service." - Thich Nhat Hanh, author of
Savor
"The awakening power of love shines on every page of this
wonderfully inspiring book. With insight and engaging humor, Ram
Dass shares with us a lifetime of spiritual practice. This book is
a rare treat. " - Joseph Goldstein, author of A Heart Full of
Peace
"If the West even approaches enlightenment in the 21st Century,
there's no way to overestimate the role of Ram Dass in making it
happen. He planted seeds that turned into a million trees; if and
when they blossom, they will exude the fragrance of his teaching
forever." - Marianne Williamson, author of The Age of Miracles
"Like Ram Dass' earlier works, Be Love Now is amusing, eloquent,
and wise; it's a sublime addition to an already invaluable
spiritual oeuvre." - Yoga Journal
"Offering a deeply personal yet universal exploration of what he
has learned on his four-decade pilgrimage across cultures and
religious traditions, Ram Dass shares powerful lessons on love..."

"Ram Dass has written a book with deep understanding and love. His
wisdom is our good fortune." - Sharon Salzberg
"The celebrated teacher guides us through pitfalls and perils of
our own spiritual journey." - The Edge
"'Be Love Now, ' like 'Be Here Now, ' is equal parts memoir and
manual of meditation. It's hard to believe the two books are
separated by more than 30 years. The writing in 'Be Love Now' is as
fresh and charged with insight as the earlier one." - Los Angeles
Times
"It is not exaggerating to say that Ram Dass (formerly known as
Harvard psychologist Dr. Richard Alpert) inspired multiple
generations of spiritual seekers. Be Love Now proves he continues
to do so through writing, teaching and most importantly, by
example." - LA Yoga
"You might say it took four decades to get from 'Here' to 'Love.'
For Ram Dass, the journey can be measured more accurately in
inches--from his head, to his heart." - The Maui News
"Read this delicious, ecstatic journey and be awakened, be pulled
body and soul into the heart of love." - Jack Kornfeld, author of A
Path with Heart
"There is no one better than Ram Dass to transmit the essence of
"Eastern" religion and philosophy to Westerners. He has made the
journey and from the depth of his Joy and Wisdom he shares with us
the journey of so many great Beings. Rameshwar Das has been a
fellow traveller for most of that journey." - Krishna Das, Kirtan
Wala

"His deeply personal and profound process of inner
transformation--through his guru's "fierce grace" and a life of
love and service--is told with characteristic candor and humor.
Rich with teaching stories, Be Love Now is an invitation to open
our hearts." - Yoga International
"In this vivid, often mind-blowing blend of spiritual memoir and
teaching stories, written with his fellow devotee, Rameshwar Das,
Ram Dass remembers his guru's baffling powers; candidly describes
the tensions within the satsang, or "community of seekers,"
surrounding Maharaj-ji; and explains his arduous "inner work" as he
practiced yoga, chanted mantras that work on both vibrational and
conceptual planes, and opened his mind to the presence of "realized
beings," including the Indian saints whose life stories he tells."
- Booklist
