Living with the Himalayan Masters - By Swami Rama (Spiritual experiences of Swami Rama)

 Even though Swami Rama lived at the foot of the Himalayas, he touches the lives of many students and professional spiritual seekers.  Born of a line of Himalayan sages and a noble heritage, Swami Rama easily transverses multiple worlds in his philanthropical quests.  Today, he is known as a yogi, scientist, spiritual guide, philosopher, and teacher. 

Perhaps one of the most impressive things about Swami Rama is his enduring compassion for humanity, as well as his ability to see deep into every person that he meets.  When Swami Ajay decided to study with him in Rishkesh, he began a journey that would enable him to write his book, Living With the Himalayan Masters.  As he traveled with Swami Rama, he was able to watch this great sage interact with groups of American students, as well as many others.  During that time, he took hundreds of pages of notes, and gathered numerous stories in an effort to document Swami Rama's teachings.

Regardless of the religion or group that you are talking about, you will find that all focus on enrichment of the soul as well as happiness here on Earth.  Essentially, this all comes back to yoga, or the union of philosophies and action in order to achieve enlightenment.  According to Swamiji, "We are all thirsty, but instead of drinking directly, we only chew the weeds which float on the surface of the lake of life. These weeds contain little water and do not quench our thirst. If our thirst is to be fully quenched, we must dive deep beyond all apparent conventions to discover the underlying truths of life."

The stories presented in Swami Ajay's book come mainly from three sources. First, he spent many hours discussing various experienced and philosophies with Swami Rama.  During his stay with Swami Rama, he also had the privilege of working  with Swamiji's diaries, some of which went all the way back to his childhood.  There are also many sections of the book taken from lectures that were given in the United States.

As you read this meditation book, you are bound to be inspired by stories about how a modern sage goes about the daily work of service to humanity.  Without a question, each story will give you a chance to learn about another aspect, or level of your inner self, as well as your way of being in the world.  This is an ideal spiritual book for any person that has begun to develop an awareness that there is more in life, yet has not yet found a teacher who can lead them to the next step on the journey to light and love.
