RAM DASS LAUNCHES NEW CD COSMIX ON WAVEFORM
Ram Dass did not give up after his stroke; he has remained completely
open to experience, and he is now embracing new technology and new
music to reach more people than ever with his message…very cool.Cosmix
is a rhythmic, energizing album that merges timeless wisdom with modern
sounds, chants, and world instruments.
Ram Dass' most relevant
dialogue is mixed with moving, chilled back electronica perfect for
yoga, meditation, or atmospheric entertainment.
The music
dominates without diminishing the power of Ram Dass' messages on tracks
“Mantra,” “Stuck,” “The Game,” “Additya Hridayam,” and six others.
The
enhanced CD also contains a historic, heartwarming ten minute video
excerpt from “The Last Dance,” Ram Dass' final recorded conversation
with his life-long friend, the late LSD guru, Timothy Leary, who
encouraged Ram Dass to celebrate death as the next transitional stage
on their journey.
Ram Dass is a spiritual and cultural icon
known for embracing and sharing Eastern teachings with the West. Famous
for his lifelong friendship with the late LSD researcher Timothy Leary,
Ram Dass' path took him in another direction, to India where he
embraced spiritual enlightenment with his guru Neem Karoli Baba.
Inspired, he wrote the ground-breaking and noteworthy guidebook "Be
Here Now," over thirty years before Eckhart Tolle shared a similar
message with the world.
