Awareness of the Reality Within

Overview

What is the purpose of life? How can we attain it? In this never-before-released lecture series from 1975, Swami Rama explains that the purpose of life is to be in constant awareness of the reality that pervades every aspect of ourselves and the larger world. With fascinating stories, Swamiji offers profound insights on the importance of studying the mind—so we can learn, as the sages did before us, how to tap the conscious mind to gain access to our unconscious mind and the deeper dimensions of our being.

Meditation helps us become more self-confident, fearless, and strong—able to resolve old repressed issues that start to come forward. Learn about the different stages of meditation and the possible pitfalls, and find out what we can expect when we are engaged in constant awareness.
