Movie Reviews of Ram Dass: Fierce Grace
Movie Review: 5-Star Review by America's Spiritual Reviewer
Summary: 5 Stars
Fierce Grace is an autobiographical documentary about Ram Dass (a/k/a Richard Alpert), a spiritual pioneer and leader. His book, "Remember, Be Here Now" was a catalyst in the great awakening that has been unfolding in our world since the 1970's, and is still selling strong at amazon.com. We see Ram Dass through all phases of his life: as a charming priveleged youngster, as an elite professor at Harvard, as an LSD experimenter with Timothy Leary, and as a dedicated disciple of an Indian guru. Now an aging baby boomer, Ram Dass tells his story from the perspective of someone who's in long-term recovery from a serious, life-altering stroke. His willingness to be "stroked" and to use the event as inspiration to continue to work on self and to expand his spiritual awareness is compelling. I highly recommend Fierce Grace to all stroke victims, to anyone on a spiritual path and to young people who are curious about an authentic, non-Hollywood version of the hippie movement and the love that created it.Movie Review: Not just about Ram Dass, but approaches to aging
Summary: 5 Stars
As we all get older, the loss of independence and control that we've spent a lifetime acquiring is a frightening aspect. Beyond the spiritual components in the biography of Richard Alpert's life is a story of his life after the stroke that left him incapacitated; it's ironic that the book he was working on when he was "stroked by God" was a book on aging itself. Ram Dass's current example has become a daily reminder of what each one of us can accomplish with manifest hope and the help of others in our lives. (May we all have a cosmic jester the likes of Wavy Gravy!) Whatever one may think of Ram Dass as a spirtual guide his all-too-human frailty teaches a practical, very earth-bound lesson toward approaching age and disability. Highly recommended.Movie Review: A must see for the strokee community
Summary: 5 Stars
All the first reviewer wrote is completely true. This film gives a wonderful bio of Ram Dass. But his graceful path through the STROKE EXPERIENCE is a must for strokees to view. there is much he has learned from this "fierce grace" from "BEING STROKED"...that could help others through the aging process and esp through the understanding of stroke as a strokee and as a loved one. I wish all of the 700,000 who experiences STROKE this year could have this dvd placed in their hands asap.I give it 5 stars. I intend to enjoy each part of THIS FILM for a long time. THANK YOU RAM DASS FOR YOUR LIFE BEFORE STROKE AND AFTER.
NAMASTE'

Movie Review: Jai MA! An amazing story of a true Yogi and devotee
Summary: 5 Stars
This is one of the best documentaries I have ever seen. It has the power to really touch the hearts of anyone. Ram Dass's life story is captured and presented in such a real way that he becomes your friend, and anyone can relate to him and his life experiences. The film has great footage from the, Be Here Now, era of the late sixties and seventies all the way up to his life after his nearly fatal stroke. Fierce Grace details many of Ram Dass's career highlights and life achievements. The relationship between an enlightened guru, Neem Karoli Baba, and his disciple Ram Dass is the essence of this story, pure devotion to GOD. Ram Ram. A must see. OM Shanti - Jai Sri Neem Karoli Baba!!!Movie Review: Absolutely Wonderful and Healing
Summary: 5 Stars
I've watched this DVD twice now. It is even more powerful the second time. I've known about Ram Dass for years and just really got how beautiful a man he is. This is a perfect example of how this medium can be a powerful tool for healing and transformation. The journey of this film is an emotional ride with many delightful moments of wit and interesting history about a man and presence of love on this planet. I highly reccomend everyone to experience the power of "Fierce Grace". While no one would ever wish upon another the harsh lessons of the many people interviewed in this documentary, there is an opportunity for growth and expansion of awareness contained in this slim DVD.
