In Wisdom of the Ancient Sages, Swami Rama shares with the modern world the powerful and inspiring teachings of one of the worlds greatest spiritual texts: the Mundaka Upanishad. This beautiful translation and commentary affirms human nature as peaceful, creative, and transcendent. Its message will assist anyone who seeks to walk the path of personal and spiritual development.
About the Author:
Swami Rama (1925-1996) founded branches of the Himalayan Institute in the U.S. and abroad, as well as a modern hospital in an impoverished region of India. A leader in bringing yoga and meditation to the West, he is the author of over 30 books.
Excerpts:
"The upanishadic teachings are like flowers gathered from the garden of the limitless. The seers, the teachers of the Upanishads, strung a thread through these flowers, so that each teaching become a garland. Todays world is passing through a serious crisis: stress, unhappiness, and diseases are increasing. Mankind had forgotten the ancient landmark of its noble history. I pray that modern men and women become aware that life has two aspects-within and without. Without construction this bridge of understanding-between within and without, between ancient and modern-real happiness, peace and bliss are unattainable."
