Himalayan Sage
Swami Hariharananda (Swami Hari)
Visits Jacksonville

The Himalayan sage Swami Hariharananda ('Swami Hari') will visit Jacksonville FL in October 2005. He is a direct disciple of the legendary Swami Rama of the Himalayas, said to be one of the greatest yogi of the 20th century.

Swami Hariharananda was born and raised in the foothills of the Himalayas and after becoming a monk he spent 15 years living and meditating in the mountain forests. As a teacher he is known for his ability to guide students into a state of deep meditation. His lectures are filled with practical knowledge, inspiration and humor.

Swami Hari's friendly, cheerful and compassionate personality attracts to him new friends in all the countries he visits. He spent many years at the 600-year old sacred shrine of Tarkeshwar in the Himalayas, where his master Swami Rama attained enlightenment in 1930s.

When not traveling around the world, he spends most of his time in Ramnagar, Swami Rama's ashram in India, located in the ancient city of Rishikesh in the foothills of the Himalayas.

Swami Hari will give a series of unique lectures on yoga, and guided meditations.
