    Path of Fire and Light: Advanced Practices of Yoga

    Most people begin their practice of yoga with asana. But as practice progresses, many become curious about the deeper dimensions of this time-honored spiritual path. Books that touch on advanced spiritual practices and experiences are fascinating, but they often leave readers feeling overwhelmed and uncertain about the details of the practices. This volume avoids such pitfalls.

    Path of Fire and Light presents an array of refined techniques of pranayama and meditation that are rarely described accurately. In this book, Swami Rama provides an in-depth study of swarodaya, the science of breath, with step-by-step instruction on advanced pranayama exercises. He shares remarkable and practical information on the systematic techniques of an ancient and profound tradition of spiritual growth in a way that is easily understandable by the Western reader.

    The ancient yogic teachers and sages of the Himalayas developed the powerful and subtle methods of breath described in this book; methods that intensify sensitivity to the body and mind, and help one achieve the ultimate goal of self-realization. As a practical guide to the systematic science of swarodaya, this book is essential reading for all serious advanced students.

    About Swami Rama

    One of the greatest adepts, teachers, writers, and humanitarians of the 20th century, Swami Rama (1925–1996) is the founder of the Himalayan Institute. Born in northern India, he was raised from early childhood by the Himalayan sage, Bengali Baba. Under the guidance of his master, he traveled from monastery to monastery and studied with a variety of Himalayan saints and sages, including his grandmaster, who was living in a remote region of Tibet.

    In addition to this intense spiritual training, Swami Rama received higher education in both India and Europe. From 1949 to 1952, he held the prestigious position of Shankaracharya of Karvirpitham in South India. Thereafter, he returned to his master to receive further training at his cave monastery, and finally, in 1969, came to the United States, where he founded the Himalayan Institute.

    His best-known work, Living with the Himalayan Masters, reveals the many facets of this singular adept and demonstrates his embodiment of the living tradition of the East.
