The Rama Gita is a part of Adhyatma Ramayana: The Spiritual Version of the Rama Saga. It contains Rama's spiritual instruction to his beloved brother Lakṣmaṇa. It presents the Upanishadic thought in a nutshell, in a lucid manner. It is a practical guide for one following the Advaitic method of contemplating on the reality.

Swami Chinmayananda's commentary on Sri Rama Gita reveals the deep significance of each verse and helps in getting a profound understanding of the text.

The very first book mentioning yoga. Ever. Considered a holy book by an entire continent. To be read with an open mind, and a strong willingness to change its inner self. Among the mandatory readings for future yoga teachers. Full of ancient wisdom and in connection with so many things you learn in a YTT (yoga Teacher Training). It’s the kind of book you read, and re-read, and comeback to so many times in your life.
