Be Here Now tells the story of Ram Dass's spiritual awakening and provides powerful guidance on yoga, meditation, and finding your true self. The book is a modern restatement of the importance of the spiritual side of human nature.

The book is divided into four sections:

• Journey: The Transformation: Dr. Richard Alpert, PhD into Baba Ram Dass
• From Bindu to Ojas: The Core Book
• Cookbook for a Sacred Life: A Manual for Conscious Being
• Painted Cakes (Do Not Satisfy Hunger): Books

Originally published in 1971, Be Here Now filled a deep spiritual emptiness and launched the ongoing mindfulness revolution. It established Ram Dass as a preeminent seeker of the twentieth century. The book shares the true message and serves as a guide to self-determination.
