Living with the Himalayan Masters

I’m fond of Rajini. Now and then, we fans are used to hearing news about him visiting Himalayas, undertaking expeditions on unheard ranges and caves there. We never know how much is real and how much is spun-off from fantasy of journalists who don’t grow tired paparazzying him, but one such story quoted him as recommending Living with the Himalayan Masters.

I’ve just taken this book, and glanced through first few pages. It’s a narrative by Swami Rama, who was a Himalayan sage enlightened under the Mahavtar Babaji tradition. Although he wished to spend his entire life there in the Himalayan ranges, he was forced by his teachers to get back to Society to spread the message of Humanity and Love (Wasn’t it the same case with The Monk who sold His Ferrari?)

I haven’t heard about Swami Rama before, but the book is enchanting as it’s opening up to describe the beauty of a life in the Himalayan region. I understand that as Swami talks about the lessons he was taught there, we get to understand what extents a human life can go to by way of practising discipline. My Yoga classes have just begun, and it’s fantastic to see related content falling in place to complete the experience.
