Dear Satsang,

This is to update everyone who has so lovingly given support this past
year to Ram Dass� teaching via the Love Serve Remember Foundation
(LSRF). Ram Dass has been working on several new projects, including a
new book co-written with Rameshwar Das, entitled Be Love Now, which is
coming out in the fall. In addition, to celebrate the 40th anniversary
of Be Here Now, there will be an enhanced electronic version of that
book and an on-line course called Practicing Being Here Now both also
having their debut in the fall.

Ram Dass continues to counsel people in person and online and to deliver
monthly webcasts on ramdass.org. He also hosts group and individual
retreats on Maui. He says he is learning to love everything and be
content in each moment, learning to BE love now.

Last winter after the December 2009 retreat Ram Dass was hospitalized
for a systemic infection. He rebounded and is back to his regular
schedule, feeling much better. After his illness Ram Dass told us that
he would like to spend more time in retreat. To honor his request, we
have cut back public retreats and other activities and we ask you to
consider donating again to help make up the income shortfall.

LSRF has revamped the web site at www.ramdass.org and is developing a
digital library and search engine that will make Ram Dass� last 44 years
of spiritual teachings available by keywords. It will not only help
users locate the Ram Dass teachings they�re looking for but will enable
creation of personal �playlists.� This is part of our long term plan to
preserve Ram Dass� teachings and make them more accessible to all.
