“Everyone has the capacity to choose, to change, to grow.”

Eknath Easwaran shows that our most glorious asset as human beings is our ability to remake ourselves according to our highest ideals.

Passage meditation is the method he developed to inspire and encourage us to reach our fullest potential. Easwaran lived what he taught, giving him enduring appeal as an author and teacher of deep insight and warmth.

More than 1.4 million copies of Easwaran’s books are in print around the world. His work is continued by the organization he founded in 1961, the Blue Mountain Center of Meditation. More about Easwaran

What Is Passage Meditation?

In this method you meditate on inspirational passages, or texts, from the sages, saints, and scriptures of the world. Passage meditation fits naturally within any faith, philosophy, or way of life. Over time you will develop richer relationships, live more fully in the present, and discover your unique contribution to life.
