Swami Rama

Each of the many facets of the unique personality of H.H. Dr. Swami Rama  represents only one aspect of a magnificent diamond, whose brilliance humbly reflects the divinity shining within. To describe him as a Yogi, Scientist, Philosopher / Teacher, Humanitarian, Writer and Musician/Artist provides merely a glimpse of the totality of the remarkable individual known as H.H. Dr. Swami Rama.  

He demonstrated what a human being was capable of, what a human being could give to others and to the world. If there is a single phrase that defined Swamiji’s actions in the world, it is 'selfless service'.  Throughout his entire life, whether with individual students or entire communities, Swamiji gave without expecting anything in return. Having reached the heights of spiritual enlightenment, he strived with seemingly endless energy to attain perfection in his actions in the external world. His  life embodied the human potential to “live in the world, and yet remain above.”  

He loved us unconditionally—that was his life. Swamiji’s work continues at the Himalayan International Institute, his centers, at the Himalayan Institute Hospital Trust in India, and in our lives as we strive to practice what he taught. He is alive, shining softly in the hearts of his students throughout the world.

Many people suffer from chronic illnesses such as arthritis, hypertension, diabetes, obesity, depression, fibromyalgia, chronic pain, allergies, digestive problems, etc. Conventional western medicine often cannot provide satisfactory relief from such conditions. As a result, those suffering from chronic illnesses increasingly turn to alternative therapies to complement and improve their quality of life. Such therapies may include: acupuncture, herbal therapies, ayurveda, homeopathy, nutritional analysis, craniosacral therapy and massage as well as the practice of yoga and meditation

The Holistic Healing and Wellness programs at CRx focus on restoring the natural flow of pranic energy throughout your body. The programs give you an experiential knowledge of holistic health care and allow you to remodel your lifestyle in a holistically balanced way.

Our holistic healing programs have their basis in the practice of yoga science, a comprehensive spirit/mind/energy/body training program designed to promote the harmonious growth of individuals.

The sages developed this natural healing system thousands of years ago to help individuals restore balance and attain spiritual awakening. It was simplified, modernized, and incorporated into a methodology for CRx by Dr. Swami Rama.

Daily applications of these principles and practices will foster self-awareness and observation to bring about self-understanding, self-development, self-transformation and ultimately Self-Realization.

Experience the Center’s special healing therapies and enhance physical, emotional, mental and spiritual health.
