    Choosing A Path

    The search for truth alone provides a ray of hope for the individual and for humanity as a whole. We have done so much research on matter, mind, and energy, yet we have not discovered the ways and methods of attaining happiness and loving others selflessly. This book gives a glimpse into the four paths of yoga and clearly expounds upon their fundamental concepts and philosophies. 

    The four paths of yoga include:

    • Karma Yoga: the path of action, service to others, mindfulness, and remembering the levels of our being while fulfilling our actions in the world.
    • Bhakti Yoga: the path of devotion, emotion, love, compassion, and service to God and others.
    • Jnana Yoga: the path of knowledge, wisdom, introspection, and contemplation.
    • Raja Yoga: a comprehensive method that emphasizes meditation, while encompassing the whole of yoga.

    This book creates a provocative atmosphere for you to choose a definite path for yourself. Find your yogic path with the guidance of a Himalayan master. Pick up your copy of Choosing a Path and discover a clearer direction in your journey through life.

    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.
