Easwaran gives clear, practical, step-by-step instructions in passage meditation in four talks recorded during an intensive course for the University of California Berkeley Extension.
In passage meditation, you focus attention on passages, or texts, drawn from the world’s sacred traditions. You choose the passages that appeal to you, so this universal method stays fresh and inspiring, prompting you to live out your highest ideals. Meditation is supported by the mantram and six other spiritual tools to help us stay calm, kind, and focused throughout the day.
Eknath Easwaran taught meditation for over forty years, and his class at UC Berkeley was the first accredited course on meditation at any Western university. He is the author of thirty-three books on spiritual living and world mysticism, and his Bhagavad Gita, Upanishads, and Dhammapada are the best-selling English translations of these Indian classics in the US. Over 1.5 million copies of his books are in print.
