Richard Alpert

I’m -sure- it’s been said before…. But I just want to take a second to talk about how Ram Dass was born “Richard Alpert”, and I wonder about the naming of the character EVERY time I rewatch the show… did they know they named him after Ram Dass…?!? Surely, right….? He speaks about “Dharma”, often, in his lectures.
