In 1971 Swami Rama founded the Himalayan International Institute of Yoga Science and Philosophy in order to create the means to scientifically verify, document, publish, and teach the experiences of his ancient heritage. He said, "We must build a center of life which will be an important bridge between East and West."
The faculty of the Institute is a team of physicians, psychologists, and spiritual thinkers trained by Swami Rama to synthesize the ancient teachings of the East and the modern technology of the West. Under Swami Rama's expert guidance, the faculty and staff of the Institute have realized in concrete terms the projects that he proposed.
The Institute is a nonprofit organization dedicated to teaching the various aspects of yoga and meditation as a means to foster the personal growth of the individual and the betterment of society. The approach is one that addresses the whole person--body, mind, and spirit--in order to lead people toward happier, healthier, and more creative lives.
