Living with the Himalayan Masters Paperback – February 12, 2007
Purchase options and add-ons
"I will tell you how I grew up and how I was trained, about the great sages with whom I lived and what they taught me, not through lectures and books but through experiences."- Swami Rama
Reading it, you will discover the human side to this yogic master. He is a young boy, full of mischief. He is a teenager, full of curiosity and adventurous zeal. He is a seeker, with certain strengths and weaknesses. Just like us, he sometimes fails to distinguish the fake gurus from genuine masters, mistaking magic for spiritual achievement.
Living with the Himalayan Masters is one of those rare books that contains the seeds of transformation within its pages―sowing those seeds in the heart of the reader, and creating the potential for true spiritual upliftment. These stories record Swami Rama’s personal quest for truth and enlightenment―inspiring, illuminating, entertaining, mystifying, and often droll and humorous.
This life-changing book will bring you face-to-face with some great twentieth-century masters, including Mataji of Assam, a ninety-six-year-old sage who never slept; Gudari Baba, who taught Swami Rama the value of direct experience; Yogi Sri Aurobindo, who integrated meditation with action; Uria Baba, who demonstrated that every human being has the potential for healing; and Mahatma Gandhi.
Read the humbling story of the man who founded the Himalayan Institute, and the great teachers who molded him into a Himalayan Master.

I almost didn't get this book, but I am 100% glad I did. Every page has a lesson, an experience that enlightened in itself. It is so good, I cannot put it down, and I don't want it to end. It is so relevant I plan to use it as a daily reading for children when they become of age. I am grateful. Thank you.
But this book is still good and I enjoyed it better after reading the said article as it sounds as if he did all the things he dismissed the other 'fake' swamis of doing. I rather got the feeling he might have kept on the Spiritual path had he stayed in India- indeed he warns that one has to be quite strong-willed and focussed to not get seduced by fame and fortune.
Condition of the book ordered was ss expected, although was more used than I imagined. Had someone's name written on the front page. And pages were turned yellow due to age, but what matters is the content.
Although I haven't finished the book yet, I can definitely recommend it to anyone interested in spiritual
matters. The book shows us what is possible if we attain that state of oneness with God. It is
possible for anyone to become like that ! Through meditation and prayer ! And by thinking unlimited thoughts !
The book is written in a clear style, easy readable and also humorous. It has a considerable number of pages,
which I like because you wish the book would never end. It has also some beautiful pictures in it which complement
the beautiful scenes of the Himalaya and the temples etc. described in the book.
If you like this book - and I do ! - you will surely also like the books "Life and teachings of the masters of the far east" by Baird Spalding and "Adventures of a western mystic" by Peter mt. Shasta. I think they are available via Amazon also.
Greetings,
Johan
This book is credable,thought provoking and if nothing else entertaining. Read it.
