H.H. Dr. Swami Rama inspired millions of people through the loving and selfless example he set in his life, and through the clarity and practicality of his teachings and writings. Swami Rama Centre (SRC) was created to ensure that his works continue to be available as a source of inspiration to countless spiritual seekers. SRC at Himalayan Institute Hospital Trust has become a favorite meeting place for Swamiji’s students, his disciples from all over the world and the residents of the Institute campus. Every year Guru Purnima celebration is organized by SRC. On 13th November, a function commemorating the anniversary of Swami Rama’s mahasamadhi is held annually. The Centre itself is a multi-faceted complex where the writings and teachings of H.H. Dr. Swami Rama are preserved and made available to all who are interested. The complex includes a photobiography of Swamiji and meditation hall. The publication of Swamiji’s unpublished works is a focus of Swami Rama Centre. The Meditation Hall is a zone of silence, open daily for meditation from 4:00 a.m. to 10:00 p.m. Adjacent to the meditation hall is the room where Swamiji left his mortal body. Swami Rama Centre has an English spiritual bookstore offering books by Swami Rama, Swami Veda, and other spiritual traditions. The entire complex is surrounded by a beautiful garden which provides a serene and isolated environment, conducive to meditation and contemplation.
