He is the founder and spiritual leader of the Himalayan Institute which is located in Honesdale. Since 1969 Swami Rama has been teaching in the United States. Selected to continue in this spiritual leadership carefully handed down through the ages, Swami Rama holds the position of spiritual leader. A master yogi in along line of eminent teachers and rishis, Swami Rama is also a spiritual successor to the great Shankaracharya, India’s greatest philosopher and yogi. Written in the philosophical and poetic imagery of the ancient tradition, the Ishopanishad is often quite difficult for Westerners to understand, but in this commentary, Swami Rama has brilliantly illuminated the profound insights it contains. In this discussion of the Ishopanishad by Swami Rama, we come to understand that there is a necessary compatibility between the spiritual and the practical in life. It contains not only an explanation of cosmic and personal consciousness, illusion and reality, ignorance and knowledge, but it also concerns itself with the practical application of spirituality and the preparation for one’s final journey. Like other great texts of the Vedic tradition, the Ishopanishad is an integrated and comprehensive treatment of spirituality, psychology, epistemology and practical guidance for personal and social improvement. The Ishopanishad, one of the shortest of the Upanishads, is also one of the most profound. Have taken relevant excerpts to make the piece comprehensive.
