At the Feet of a Himalayan Master unfolds the secrets for personal sadhana and direct contact with a great guru that are rare to find in any published literature, and with contemporary and western disciples facing the modern world and all of its limitations. The book helps us understand the many facets and real nature of genuine spiritual practice in the Himalayan tradition and how it can transform the mind and heart. - Dr. David Frawley, author of Yoga and Ayurveda and Mantra Yoga and the Primal Sound "I met Swami Rama in the early 1970s soon after he first arrived in America. Through the years... he often reminded me that we were 'spiritual brothers' because our respective guru-lineages originated in the same region of the Himalayas. I am please to recommend this edition of At the Feet of a Himalayan Master (and other editions) in which Swamiji's engaging personality, direct manner of teaching, and life of selfless service is reverently described by some of his disciples." - Roy Eugene Davis, disciple of Paramahansa Yogananda "In the three sections of this volume, Gus Gatto, Eileen Diorio and B. Maithili describe how Swami Rama impacted their lives in ways that seemed at times inscrutably rigorous and challenging, and at times immensely gentle and loving, and how they each, often on recollection, were able to assimilate and understand their experiences in ways that helped them address important obstacles in their further development." - From the Foreword by Dr. John Clarke

This volume has five contributors, of diverse nationalities and backgrounds, but who share a common bond of great reverence and love for the Himalayan Master, Swami Rama. They approached him at different times, for different reasons and with different aspirations. Despite these differences in age, background, temperament and nationality, they found in Swami Rama a true friend, profound philosopher and compassionate guide. The differences in the narrators and their narratives serve an important purpose-the opportunity to view Swami Rama from many different perspectives from which one can try to construct for oneself a composite portrait of Seami Rama, the multi-faceted phenomenon who graced our lives.

This autobiography of an American yogi is the story of the training of a Western scholar by a unique Himalayan Master, one of the greatest yogis of the era.
