In this practical guide to inner life, Swami Rama--one of the most
advanced yoga masters to visit the West--teaches us how to slip
beyond the mental turbulence of our ordinary thought processes into
an infinite reservoir of consciousness from which we can draw

The knowledge that enlightens the aspiring student into the mystery
of life here and hereafter is the Tripura Rahasya. The text is one
of the most significant scriptures in the tradition of tantra yoga.
Its beauty lies in the fact that it expounds the lofty knowledge of
inner truth while systematically offering practical instructions on
sakti sadhana: the task of awakening the dormant fire within and
leading it to higher awareness, or the highest chakra. "The Tripura
Rahasya is one of the most wonderful and practical of all
scriptures and is very helpful to those on the path of
self-realization. I am certain that those aspirants who study this
scripture in its present translation, with full faith and a
tranquil mind, will have a new vision and will become aware of a
completely new dimension of life." (Swami Rama)
"To understand death, a person must try to understand the purpose
of life and the relationship between life and death. The two are
partners, each providing a context for the other. Death is not a
period, but merely a pause on a long journey. When life and death
are accepted as having real meaning and purpose, and death is
understood and accepted as part of the human journey, then the fear
of death disappears and life can be lived fully. This book is about
the relationship between life and death, and the 'how and why' of
organizing one's life in a way that leads to expansion and growth,
and that is helpful in preparing for the transition we call death."

seeking: a way to achieve the total health of body, mind, emotions,
and spirit. YOGA AND PSYCHOTHERAPY provides a unique comparison of
modern therapy and traditional methods. Drawing upon a rich
diversity of experience, the authors give detailed examples of how
the ancient findings of yoga can be used to supplement or replace
some of the less complete Western theories and techniques. YOGA AND
PSYCHOTHERAPY is accessible to the layperson, yet detailed enough
to be of value to the professional.
The contents of this book have been taken from Swami Rama's lecture
courses on Yoga Sutras. Swamiji states that Patanjali's Yoga Sutras
are the basis of ancient psychology. The explanations in this book

daily life, as well as study and direct the mind when in quieter
states of meditation. 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.

beyond the first three. In this Upanishad, there is a unique
combination of psychology and profound philosophy, a clear

preserve health and prevent disease by making the body a fit
instrument for achieving the purpose of life. Swamiji, therefore,
starts with the four primitive fountains of food, sleep,
self-preservation, and sex, the body, and the breath, before
delving deeper into the mind, emotions and personal relationships.
He concludes the book by describing four paths of spiritual
practice, any of which can be adopted, depending on one's
temperament, to reach the goal of self-realization.
"Para entender la muerte, un ser humano ha de intentar entender el
proposito de la vida y la relacion entre la vida y la muerta. Ambas
son afines, cada una le proporciona un contexto a la otra. La
muerte no es un periodo sino tan solo una pausa en un largo viaje.
Cuando se acepta que la vida y la muerte tienen un verdadero
sentido y un proposito, y cuando se entiende y se acepta la muerte
como parte del viaje humano, entonces el miedo a la muerte
desaparece y se puede vivir la vida plenamente." Este libro trata
de la relacion entre la vida y la muerte, del "como y porque"
organizar la propia vida de una manera que conduzca a la expansion,
al crecimiento, y que sea util para prepararse hacia la transicion
que se llama muerte.
