This volume has five contributors, of diverse nationalities and backgrounds, but who share a common bond of great reverence and love for the Himalayan master, Swami Rama. They approached him at different times, for different reasons and with different aspirations. The differences in the narrators serves an important purpose - the opportunity to view Swami Rama from many different perspectives to construct for oneself a conposite portrait of the multi-faceted phenomenon who graced our lives.
