On the surface, this is a biography of an accomplished seeker who mastered the practices of yoga and brought a system for understanding the mysteries of body, mind, and spirit to students in the West. But, like the life of Swami Rama, this audiobook offers more than a sequence of astonishing events. As you read the stories of authentic guru-disciple relationships Swami Rama had both with his master and with his own students, you will see how the spiritual wisdom is transmitted through generations. This book also serves as a guide to advanced practices of yoga and tantra not commonly understood in modern times.

Shetty grew up in a family where you could become one of three things - a doctor, a lawyer, or a failure. His family was convinced he had chosen option three: Instead of attending his college graduation ceremony, he headed to India to become a monk, to meditate every day for four to eight hours, and devote his life to helping others. After three years, one of his teachers told him that he would have more impact on the world if he left the monk’s path to share his experience and wisdom with others.

Loving this and excellent interpretation
D.C Rao- love his voice, could listen all day. Infact -have peacefully fallen asleep listening to this book many times. I have begun to chant the sutras and feel better about my pronounciation as DC clearly and slowly pronounces each sankrit sutra before starting commmentary. Dr. Pandit offers thorough and easy to understand interpretion of all chapters. He also gives the relatable sutras during the explanations thus making it easier to connect the dots as well offering basic pranyama techniques and the "why's" of each of the practices. Seriously have listened to this so many times I think it's starting to sink in without note taking. The sanskrit words are becoming part of my vocabularly. If you are a Yoga teacher, get this book. I have a few other sutra books in paper and stil go to this version regulary

Absolutely loved it! It is a must for anybody understanding the knowledge of past Sages.
As I am on my sixth time listening to this audiobook. Many different things are seeping in subtly in at the correct time needed. As practice is difficult after due to a severe TBI. More practice in the way focus back to my breath. As more conceptual practice that thus leads to higher states of samadhi and the ultimate aspiration of the other shore. Never expecting The bearing of fruit, As to never expecting anything. Thus just open your heart, and open mind, mindfully while always practicing Meta. -Robert Ouellette-
