Ram Dass (Richard Alpert)

Ram Dass is the founder of the Hunaman Foundation. [Hanuman is the Hindu monkey god.] He is a former Harvard professor who worked with Timothy Leary. He became a Hindu guru as a result of his experiences under LSD and his travels to India to study under his own guru, Neem Karoli Baba. His checkered spiritual odyssey is recorded in his multimillion best-sellers, Be Here Now and Grist For The Mill.
