    About this ebook

    Here we have a series of stories about Swamiji's discovery of Yoga Nidra, the yogic art of conscious deep sleep starting from his childhood. It provides a better sense of experience than any explanation or academic article or textbook ever could. It is the kind of precious document that makes it clear why our tradition considers the words and acts of realized beings like our Gurudeva, Swami Rama.

      An Excellent book - for persons who are keen to practise Yoga-Nidra. Through this practice , one can learn anything in the Universe / Cosmos. I would love to take a training in Swami Rams's Sadhaka Grama, Rishikesh, India. Very useful book indeed !!!

    FOREWARD

    The best way to teach is through story. Few people do this more engagingly than Swami Veda Bharati. Those of us who have been his students since the 1970’s learned long ago that when he says, You know that story! I’ve told you many times before, haven’t I?   We have learned to look confused and say, No, Swamiji, I don’t think I remember that one!, just to be able to hear the story again. As he is the perennial teacher of the 21st century (BCE), we are the perennial kids, always ready for a story even in our sixties.

    Here we have a series of stories about Swamiji’s discovery of yoga nidrā, the yogic art of conscious deep sleep starting from his childhood. It provides a better sense of the experience than any explanation or academic article or textbook ever could. It is the kind of precious document that makes it clear why our tradition considers the words and acts of realized beings like our Gurudeva, Swami Rama, to be text in the same sense as anything written in Sanskrit manuscripts. Reading such a story becomes a form of transmission of the experience of yoga nidrā that helps us to understand all the books and articles and techniques we have read and practiced.

    My first awareness of the profound depth of Swamiji’s familiarity with this state came in the stories he so
