Swami Hariharananda travels to the West giving lessons in Yoga and Meditation and spreading his practical ideas and knowledge. In his lectures and meditation classes you will always find Swamiji smiling and laughing. This laughter has brought his followers and well wishers to call him the "Laughing Swami". 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. Swami Hariharananda is a charismatic and a true forest monk in the 5,000 year old tradition of Himalayan sages and also a direct disciple of the legendary Swami Rama. Swami Hari is spiritual head of the temple and ashram at Tarkeshwar in the Himalayas and has undertaken the ongoing Swami Rama Institute of Vocational Education and Research (SRIVERM) Project in India. Although he often claims to know nothing, the wisdom of his pure heart shines with each word.
Swami Hariharananda has professed himself a simple forest monk many times. His confession seems to almost beg our pardon, yet it would be foolish of his audience to equate simple with a lack of wisdom, to pair the absence of worldly ways with a lack of experience, or the absence of a degree with a lack of education. Swami Hari offers stories of his life in Tarkeshwar, his Gurudev, Swami Rama, and his experiences of America. Also, we receive Swami Haris teachings on breathing, meditation, karma, mantra, and much more. Each chapter, a visit with Swami Hari, is like a hand opening to the reader, a gift set on its palm. This gift can only be the light of wisdom. --Alida L. Winternheimer, Himalayan Path, Vol. 5, No. 2 Spring 2005
Edited by Swami Jaidev and Ma Devi, The Laughing Swami: Teachings of Swami Hariharananda is a compilation of practical, spiritual, and yoga-related wisdom from the celibate monk Swami Hariharananda. A handful of color photographs illustrate this anthology of Hariharananda s reflections on his teacher, on yoga as a science, the importance of love, and confronting the transition that is death. People think that God is holy and because today is a holy day I must go out to the temple. But when our body and mind are clean and pure, we can pray within us every day. All the time we will be remembering God. God is truly within us and we are within God... If once you understand this very clearly, you will have no need to go to a temple. You are yourself the temple> An abiding, genial, and uplifting spiritual guide, written for readers of all faiths and backgrounds. --James A. Cox, Editor-in-Chief, Wisconsin Bookwatch, June 2007
