Swami Rama
Spirituality
Swāmī Rāma , born Brij Kiśore Dhasmana, was raised in the Himalayas by his master Bengali Baba.
He studied with various saints and sages, including his grandmaster in Tibet.
From 1949 to 1952, he held the position of Shankaracharya of Karvirpitham in South India.
Encouraged by his teacher, he later taught in the West, particularly in the United States and Europe.
Swami Rama was one of the first yogis to allow Western scientific study of his practices.
He authored several books on yoga and meditation, emphasizing that anyone can achieve peace without structured religion.
He criticized the use of supernatural feats to demonstrate enlightenment, arguing they only showed ability to perform a feat.
