Yoga the Sacred Science, volume one
by Swami Rama

You are searching for something without understanding that it is within you. Search within. This is a direct approach. do Not search for God outside. God is already within you. When you come to know that God dwells within you, then your life will totally change and you will be transformed. when you have perfect control over the modifications of the mind, you will attain the highest level of consciousness or samadhi.”

The contents of this book have been taken from Swami Rama’s lecture courses on Yoga Sutras. Swamiji states that Pantanjali’s Yoga Sutras are the basis of ancient psychology. Swamiji’s description of the totality of the mind, the functions of the mind, and the emotions, goes far beyond the concepts of modern psychology, and provides insight into the intricacies of yoga psychology, making this an invaluable edition from the therapeutic viewpoint as well as its practicality as a guide for living a healthy, balanced life.

Bhole: Adventures of a Young Yogi
by Hema de Munnik

Inspired by the childhood stories of Swami Rama.

This is the story about a boy named Bhole who was born in a remote village in the Himalayan Mountains of Northern India. Bhole was adopted by a great saint and raised in a cave monastery from the age of three. He loved to play pranks on meditating monks and his unruly behavior often disturbed the peaceful and quiet atmosphere in the cave. After a few years he was sent to school in his village, where he shared adventures with his dog Bhaiya, and with his friend Arjun. During his holidays he met with many yogis, saints and sages who amazed him with their supernatural powers. He wanted to become a yogi, but before this could happen he needed to remove many obstacles and had to overcome many difficulties.
A book for both the young and young at heart.

OM the Eternal Witness: Secrets of the Mandukya Upanishad
Swami Rama

The Upanishads are called shruti, revelations. Mandukya Upanishad, though the shortest of all Upanishads, is a most revered, profound Upanishad that teaches us how to know four states of consciousness: the waking, dreaming and sleeping states, and turiya, the fourth state, beyond the first three. In this Upanishad, there is a unique combination of psychology and profound philosophy; a clear exposition and understanding of the four states of consciousness.
