I really don't know if Ram Das is a bona fide guru. He's probably not one on the level of Ramana Maharsh. But I have spent some time in his presence and it was like being with someone who loves me - although we didn't speak to each other at all. He was not able to speak very well, having had a stroke. But I didn't need him to speak to me.
I've heard him speak to rather large groups since then and his speech is much better. But words were neither what I was looking for or what I got.
I read his books a long, long time ago. Some of what was in them is still with me.
