In addition to founding the Himalayan International Institute, Swami Rama is the author of many books.

Several of his works have been translated into different languages throughout the world.

His contributions to literature include profound commentaries on such spiritual works as the Bhagavad Gita and the Upanishads; practical guidelines on the application of the ancient wisdom of the East to the fields of psychology and health; a poetic rendition of the Valmiki Ramayana in two volumes; an inspiring account of his experiences with the great teachers who guided his life and spiritual development; and a deeply personal collection of prose poetry of his own spiritual experiences. His translations of several of the major spiritual books on Sikhism represent only the beginning of his dedication to the cause of demonstrating the true nature of Sikhism and have won him respect in Sikh and Hindu communities around the world.

Equally adept with a brush or pen, his paintings and poetry reflect the divine spark within. In addition, he was a highly trained and gifted musician. His book, Indian Music, represents one aspect of his efforts to make the Indian system of classical music more easily accessible to the Western world.
