Description
Hosted by award-winning journalist Jonathan Hirsch, I Am Rama tells the story of Rama, a teacher whose brand of spirituality leaned hard into the burgeoning tech industry. This new season in an unflinching investigation that’s reflective and personal into the rise and fall of this spiritual leader of the 80s and 90s who blended meditation with computer programming.  By following his advice, some students found wild success in computer programming. Others lied their way into jobs and were shunned from the industry.  You’ll hear personal stories from the people who studied with Rama, a mix of students who loved and loathed Rama and much more.
