Very Interesting and Deep

Would you listen to Living with the Himalayan Masters again? Why?

Yes absolutely...many more times

Who was your favorite character and why?

Swami Rama although I just don't agree with his stupidity of bracketing Indian Freedom Fighters as 'Terrorists'

Have you listened to any of D. C. Rao’s other performances before? How does this one compare?

Dr. D.C Rao's narration is the Best...no doubt

Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?

Swami Rama's resolve to be self-realized

Eye opening

If you ever wondered what life really is and what are we doing in our life , this book has answers. But the answers are unobtrusively sprinkled all over. There are explanations to origins of yoga and lineage of spiritual masters, I was blown away by content and the experiences share in the book. There is a clear message at the end that summarizes the essence of humanity. I am inspired to Dow the path of knowledge and practice more meditation. Must read if u have thirst for yoga/spiritual knowledge.

The real energy Drink

It was really nice to know how such yogis undergo such a hard time at the same time they take the hardship as pleasant game played by God and challenging the same to attain the ultimate goal of every mankind " The Love Of God". Highly inspiring. It really got deep into my mind and made me to think deep.

Swami Rama’s works

This book is an amazing and rare story.
It is my humble wish that Dr. D. C. Rao will, in time, narrate all of Swami Rama’s books as his voice embodies the spirit of Swami Rama’s words and takes one to a place where we can not only hear the the voice of Swami Rama but seem to travel to the actual place and times of this great Swami.

Great book. I love hearing about the Masters.

Valuable for anyone on a journey to realization. Many "leads" for me to follow up on and study. Swami Rama is a interesting guy. Very open about how rebellious and stubborn he was. His suicide threat to his Master if he didn't give him instant Samadhi was humourous to me. I was left wanting more tales of the Masters. God bless.
