About this listen

 Still Here: Embracing Aging, Changing, and Dying is Ram Dass' reflection on the joys, pains, and opportunities that appear as we age. In 1997, Ram Dass suffered a nearly incapacitating stroke that affected his speech and movement. Over the next two years, he worked to regain his damaged capacities. From this experience he has produced a timely and thoughtful book that touches an important contemporary issue - our fears and apprehension about aging.

In the 1960s Ram Dass was a Harvard professor who turned to Eastern religion to answer the questions troubling his generation. He shared his story in the landmark classic, Be Here Now, which instantly captured the spiritual longings of his contemporaries. In Still Here, Ram Dass once again brings understanding, common sense, and reassurance for those of us facing the final season of life.

This is lovely book about aging and dying, yet this book is not about being old, aging starts as soon as we are borne. It’s a must read for any one of any age, it’s a book about becoming acquainted with our souls, through suffering and at the moment of death also. Ram Das explains the difference between being cured and being healed, and also the concept of fierce grace. It’s often suffering and hard tines that bring us closer to our soul and to God. Ram Das also talks about how we can become fixated on our bodies in suffering and death and miss the opportunity to be integrated in spirit and body as we age. And crucially Ram Das shares his experiences after is stroke and how that brought him closer to Guru and to God. This is a beautifully written book one that could not be completed until after Ram Das had his stroke.
