As a capitalist he was opposed to Socialism. Meanwhile, “White” bourgeois individuals felt warm and fluffy when they experienced his romanticised stories about India (he even met the Nazi-educated Dalai Lama – saying nothing about his history). Laughably, he thought the pathetic Indian Army had spiritually “beaten” the Chinese PLA in 1962 – despite being physically crushed – as Mao drove on to Delhi (feeding the starving Indians they encountered on the way). If you want to see the latest incarnation of Ram Dass (pun intended) involving (White) Americans pretending to transcend material reality in exchange for money – please access “ramdass.org”. Ironically, many people who receive a “contact high” by listening to the lectures of Ram Dass – upload these lectures to the internet – giving free access to millions. Finally, the genuine Indian Guru – Neem Karoli Baba – taught everyone for “free”. That is a genuine spiritual reality. What Ram Dass and his supporters did to this pristine teaching is nothing less than a travesty and probably a crime in some countries (fraud). All this is the type of the iceberg regarding Ram Dass-related corruption and deception.
