Swami Rama Teachings booklet: "Understanding and Practicing the Teachings of Swami Rama of the Himalayas"
Download it (document file name swamiramateachings.pdf) from http://www.swamij.com/downloads.htm, where you can also find other valuable materials. The same holds for the rest of the website, which is about the so-called Himalayan tradition. (See below if the link is broken.)
A copy of these yogic materials resides on this website, just in case, but please check the former site first through the abovementioned link, as it is the source of the information and will be always up-to-date. If the link is broken, visit http://www.swamij.com and try to find the "Download" section from there. If you cannot find that, look around the site and try to find the document. If even that fails, download a local copy dated April 25, 2006 (see below if the package has been updated since then), in a single ZIP file package.In 1995 Swami Rama said that he wanted an ongoing, year-round Residential Program to be developed at his ashram in Rishikesh, India. Over the ensuing months a program was developed, which drew primarily upon five books he had written:
The program included four daily meditations and daily practical training, and was designed to rotate though the lessons on the books on a 30-day cycle.
- * The Art of Joyful Living
* Meditation and Its Practice
* Path of Fire and Light, Volume 2
* Choosing a Path
* Enlightenment Without God (Mandukya Upanishad)

This guide has been developed to help aspirants in understanding and practicing meditation as taught by the Himalayan masters through Swami Rama. Though you should find it comprehensive, it is not a replacement for thoroughly studying the original texts, nor is it a substitute for direct training.
You should find this guide helpful to you, whether as a self-study aid or as a tool for explaining concepts and practices to others. It should be useful in one-to-one training, facilitated or informal study groups, in classrooms, or to enhance talks or lectures.

Most importantly, as Swami Rama has often said to students of meditation, you need to "practice, ... practice, ... practice."
Added and corrected on August 1, 2006:
Corrected a broken link to the swamij.com site and updated the local package file. T. T. Sri Swami Rama's book "Enlightenment Without God" has been added to it. Note that, as swamij.com site notes explicitly about the book, it is not anti-God.
Also, I'd like to add that the meditation method taught by Swami Rama, as he learned it from his teacher, and he from his own teacher, and so on, according to the Himalayan tradition, is called "superconscious meditation".
