Grist for the Mill was a fun read. And the book that came out after he left the body, Being Ram Dass, which is his autobiography, put together by Rameshwar Das. Fascinating look into Ram Dass’ life both before and after his stroke.

My preferred way to “read” is audio books. My favorite is the “Love, service, devotion and the ultimate surrender” on Audible. It’s so rich. It’s to do with the Bhagavad Gita which led me to read the Bhagavad Gita.
Like the other reply mentioned, Being Ram Dass is also wonderful. I love Ram Dass so dearly, and this book let me get to know him better.

The most profound one I’ve read as of late is “I Am That” by Sri Nisargadatta. It has really afforded me some insight into my own practice and the way i view things. Now I’m working on Talks with Ramana Maharshi which is also fantastic. Highly recommend both.

May anyone here recommend a great translation of the Bhagavad Gita?
Or, which one would Ram Dass have recommended? Thank you!

I like the Gita translation by Eknath Easwaran, but I’ve also enjoyed others.
I too am curious which translation Ram Dass would have recommended.

He used one from India, by a spanish author, that is now out of print. For the course we used the Eknath Easwaran best-selling translation as it is reliable, readable, and profound.

Reading be here now, but particularly enjoyed reading the article - egg on my beard. Humble and enlightening about the practice.
I heard Krishna das mention that he loves the “yoga of the bhagavat Gita” by Krishna Prem. It’s on my list to buy
