(Free-Press-Release.com) August 5, 2011 -- Eckhart Tolle and Ram Dass: The “Nows” have it “Be Here Now” meets “The Power of Now”
Nearly 30 years before the publication of Eckhart Tolle’s bestseller The Power of Now, the legendary Ram Dass captivated readers with his landmark book Remember, Be Here Now—a monumental work that quickly became "the instruction manual of choice for generations of spiritual seekers." Now for the first time, these two master teachers will engage in an open conversation about spiritual awakening and the transformation of consciousness.
Eckhart Tolle’s The Power of Now has been widely recognized as one of the most influential spiritual books of our time. A #1 New York Times bestseller, it has been translated into over 33 languages. The book has helped countless people around the globe awaken to the spiritual dimension in their lives, find inner peace, increased joy and more harmonious relationships. Eckhart Tolle’s 2008 book A New Earth topped the list of the biggest selling books championed by Oprah Winfrey’s TV Book Club with sales of over 3.4 million copies.Ram Dass, first went to India in 1967. He was still Dr. Richard Alpert, an already eminent Harvard psychologist and psychedelic pioneer with Dr. Timothy Leary. In India, he met his guru, Neem Karoli Baba, who gave Ram Dass his name, which means "servant of God." Everything changed then - his intense dharmic life started, and he became a pivotal influence on a culture that has reverberated with the words “Be Here Now” ever since. Ram Dass’s spirit has been a guiding light for three generations, carrying along millions on the journey, helping free them from their bonds as he has worked his way through his own.The meeting of these two influential and eloquent teachers is certain to generate an illuminating and transformational dialogue on what it means to live in the present moment – The “NOW”.
Due to the stroke he suffered in 1997, Ram Dass, who just turned 80, no longer travels from his island home of Maui and Eckhart Tolle has not given a public talk in over four years so this is a particularly rare event: October 28th, 2011 from 1 to 4pm, at the Hyatt Regency in Kaanapali on Maui, Hawai.
For those unable to make the journey to Maui, the event can also be viewed as an online video, both live and with a download option.
