About the Author
Pandit Rajmani Tigunait, the Spiritual Head of the Himalayan Institute, is the successor of Swami Rama of the Himalayas. Lecturing and teaching worldwide for more than a quarter of a century, he is a regular contriutor to Yoga International magazine and the author of twelve books, including the best-seller The Biography of Swami Rama of the Himalayas.

Pandit Tigunait holds two doctorates: one in Sanskrit from the University of Allahabad in India and another in Oriental Studies from the University of Pennysylvania. Family tradition gave Pandit Tigunait access to a vast range of spiritual wisdom preserved in both the written and oral traditions. Before meeting his master, Pandit Tigunait studies Sanskrit, the language of the ancient scriptures of India, as well as the languages of the Buddhist, Jain and Zoroastrian traditions. In 1976, Swami Rama ordained Pandit Tiguanit into the 5,000 year old lineage of the Himalayan Masters.
