After his return to the [[United States]] in 1969, Alpert founded several organizations dedicated to expanding [[Spirituality|spiritual awareness]] and promoting spiritual growth, including [[Hanuman Foundation]]. Since then he has embraced a wide variety of spiritual traditions and practices, including guru kripa (grace of the guru); [[bhakti yoga]] focused on the Hindu spiritual figure [[Hanuman]]; [[meditation]] in various schools of [[Buddhism]] including [[Theravada]], [[Mahayana]], [[Tibetan Buddhism|Tibetan]], and [[Zen]]; [[karma yoga]]; and [[Sufi]] and Jewish studies. In February 1997, he suffered a [[stroke]] which left him with [[expressive aphasia]], however, he understands his stroke as an act of [[divine grace|grace]] and continues to travel giving lectures, as his health permits. When asked if he could sum up his life's message Ram Dass replied, "I help people as a way to work on myself, and I work on myself to help people... To me, that's what the emerging game is all about."

For a long time, Ram Dass has acknowledged his bisexuality [http://www.vegetarianusa.com/feature_articles/bms/ramdass.html]. In the 1990s, he became more forthcoming [http://www.outsmartmagazine.com/issue/i04-01/ramdass.html]  while avoiding labels and pointing out that who we are "isn't gay, and it's not not-gay, and it's not anything—it's just awareness."

Dr. Richard Alpert (born 1931 April 5), also known as Baba Ram Dass (बाबा राम दास), is a contemporary spiritual teacher who wrote the 1971 bestseller Be Here Now. He is well-known for his association with Timothy Leary at Harvard University in the early 1960s, both having been dismissed from their professorships for experiments on the effects of psychedelic drugs on human subjects. He is also known for his travels to India and his association with the Hindu guru Neem Karoli Baba.
