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
