About The Book

This richly illustrated calendar features mindful quotes by spiritual teacher Ram Dass, whose teachings have shaped generations of spiritual seekers since the publication of his seminal book, Be Here Now, more than 50 years ago. Accompanied by Sue Zipkin's colorful paintings and sacred geometry, the Ram Dass calendar is a feast for the eyes as well as the soul.

One of America's most beloved spiritual figures, Ram Dass made his mark on the world by teaching the path of the heart and promoting service in the areas of love and compassion, social consciousness, and care for the dying. Ram Dass's spirit has been a guiding light for four generations, carrying millions along the journey and helping to free them from their bonds as he worked his way through his own.

Be Here Now, Dass's influential and seminal work, still stands as the highly readable centerpiece of Western articulation of Eastern philosophy, and how to live joyously one hundred percent of the time in the present, luminous or mundane. It continues to be the instruction manual of choice for generations of spiritual seekers. This twelve-month calendar includes a monthly quotation by Ram Dass accompanied by colorful paintings by artist Sue Zipkin.
