“The Essence of Spirtual Life”
formerly published with the title “Sadhana”

The book the Selection Committee chose is THE ESSENCE OF SPIRITUAL LIFE (2002) by Swami Rama. It was first published in 1996 (hardbound, with the title SADHANA) and has been very popular over the years. It is a relatively short book of profound quotations by Swami Rama.
The Selection Committee chose THE ESSENCE OF SPIRITUAL LIFE because it is recommended by AHYMSIN for the month of September, and it also commemorates the 100th anniversary of Swami Rama’s birth. It is also easy to acquire and relatively short, so we would be able to finish it by the end of the year, and possibly even read another short book by Swami Rama. And then, in 2026, we could begin reading one of the most chosen books by Swami Veda.
If we finish THE ESSENCE OF SPIRITUAL LIFE quickly, we thought that CONSCIOUS LIVING, another book by Swami Rama, would be a good follow-up to it.
And then, in 2026, we could go to Swami Veda’s SILENCE, VOL. I, GURU-DISCIPLE RELATIONSHIP, VOL. II, or YOU AND YOUR EMOTIONS.
We look forward to seeing you at the Book Study at 10:00 a.m., on Sunday, September 14th, for a wonderful new season of learning, discussion and camaraderie.
Shantih!
