The Ishopanishad is considered to be the foundation stone of Upanishadic knowledge. It is said that the answer to all the important questions of life are to be found in this short Upanishad. It is an ideal book of Vedanta philosophy. Book of Wisdom is Swami Rama's commentary on these sacred scriptures that form the basis of spiritual thought in India. Serving as both an introduction to yoga philosophy and as a careful guide for scholars, this excellent study begins with a history of the Upanishads and explains: 
<ul>
<li>The essential questions of the nature of God</li>
<li>The origin of ignorance and illusion</li>
<li>The levels of mind and consciousness</li>
</ul>

Art and Science of Meditation

Misra, L. K.

Karma is the activity of doing and being. It is traditionally symbolized as a rope with strands made of actions, thoughts, desires, and the latent, subconscious tendencies of personality.
The effect of these constituent aspects of karma is to keep the mind in a state of constant agitation and outward-directedness in search of appeasement. The result is enslavement to the many objects, ideas, fantasies, and pleasures which scream for the mind's attention. As long as the mind remains in this scattered and dissipated condition, there can be no hope of freedom from karma.
In the eight lectures included in this volume, Swami Rama offers a series of perspectives on man's most significant responsibility―that of self-understanding. Analyzing the mechanisms of karma and the functioning of mind, Swamiji demonstrates the kind of self-study each student of life must undertake to gain liberation and attain freedom from the bondage of karma.

Freedom From the Bondage of Karma

Rama Himalayan Institute, Swami

For thousands of years, yoga has offered what Western therapists seek to provide today: a way to achieve the total health of body, mind, emotions, and spirit. Yoga &amp; Psychotherapy is an in-depth analysis of Western and Eastern models of the mind and their differing perspectives on such functions as ego, instinct, and consciousness. This book draws upon the rich and diverse experience of Swami Rama, Rudolph Ballentine, MD, and Swami Ajaya, PhD, to show you how the ancient findings of yoga can be used to supplement or replace less complete Western theories and techniques 
Yoga &amp; Psychotherapy was written to be accessible to the layperson, yet detailed enough to be of value to the professional. This text is a perfect and succinct introduction to some of the cardinal concepts of yoga philosophy, presented in a clear and logical format. Purchase your copy of Yoga &amp; Psychotherapy and see how the timeless holistic techniques of yoga can make an impact in your life.

Our major clinical work is centered on the unraveling and treatment of chronic health problems. Among the tools we found most useful was the Homeopathic Remedy, the prescription of which demands years of study and training if is to be used to correct deep-seated constitutional disorders. Yet one of the cornerstones of our approach was, from the beginning, to encourage our patients and students to be creative and independent and to learn to manage minor crises on their own.... It was left to the energy and enthusiasm of three of the most outstanding of the young physicians who have come through training programs here at the Institute... to systematize the knowledge that had been gained through years of experience and to offer it in such a way that it can foster the working relationship between the patient and the physician. They have provided a very practical book which not only will serve as a concise introduction to the subject of Homeopathy and to the use of tissue remedies, but also will put in clear perspective the home use of these techniques. --- excerpts from book's Introduction
