Mr. Ram Varma's BE STILL AND KNOW as a sequel to THIS SPLENDID WORLD OF YOURS is quite an enlightening work of literature and a practical guide for those who seek inner peace through meditation, reflection and the seeking of self. The most distinct feature of this sequel from the author of THIS SPLENDID WORLD OF YOURS is its step by step approach to relaxation, pondering on the issues of life and death and all that falls in between.

The very fact that we have been associated with Mr. Varma's meditation groups for more than five years and have stayed connected with him and the group is in it is a testimony to the value of his contribution in our lives. This connection has brought about quite a revolution in the way we look upon our inter-personal relationship between the two of us and with others. The most important practical lessons that we have absorbed are "Let go" and "stay connected" at all times. Mr. Varma's techniques made us feel connected to the infinite powers of the universe. We are more conscious of the infinite knowledge and the resources of the universe that we can always tap into in our moment of need.

Although I practice medicine and pain management is my specialty, I completely appreciate the benefits of inner meditation in daily life. In fact, relaxation and inner stability helps for the medicine to work effectively. Various meditation techniques and understandings given in Ram Varma's books "This Splendid World of Yours" and "Be Still and Know..." are a tremendous help to realize peace and know real answers from within. They are great interactive guides to take charge of own life and move towards self-sufficiency. Highly recommended books...Dr. N.S.

Persuaded by my friend Lew almost two years ago to join this newly formed group at the Pine Tree Senior Center, I have come to realize that it has been a major influence on the direction of and the perseverance in my personal growth, emotionally and spiritually. Meeting and being led and taught by Ram Varma, who from the first meeting on emitted an air of such convincing certainty and conviction while at the same time radiating comforting warmth and compassion, was a stroke of fate for me for which I am genuinely grateful.
I had been in doubt of conventional doctrine and in search of "the Light" for a long time, and my past was not unlike Ram's in many ways. But it was his introduction to meditation and self-empowerment in the group setting and the continual exposure to new insights and Ram's infectious positive attitude that opened the door to the world of "inner seeing", an awareness of the self in a completely different way. There isn't a doubt in my mind that this ongoing journey of self-discovery will continue to improve my attitude, awareness, emotional stability, and thus greatly benefit me personally as well as those around me. Ram's two great books "This Splendid World of Yours" and "Be Still and Know..." are of tremendous help in this direction.

During the last three years of my regularly attending Ram's meditation and self-empowerment courses, I feel I have regained my confidence. I truly feel I am in-charge of my life now. I feel healthier and free from unnecessary toxic stuff. Ram's books "This Splendid World of Yours" and "Be Still and Know........." are an ongoing inspiration and self-help to come out of the worldly restlessness and restore peace, love and joy. Thank you Ram for your great guidance and support through your books and live sessions.

Both of Ram Varma's books are my best friends. All my students of meditation self-empowerment classes are going to read them and use them as an interactive guide on an on-going basis. My heart and soul says all five billion people on earth should have these books. Ram's latest book "Be Still and Know..." provides impetus for drawing all the answers from within and become self-sufficient. Thank you Ram for writing such beautiful books to help us regain our original consciousness of truth/freedom, awareness and joyfulness. The guidance given in your books is super and all my students love it.

Michael Levy, Author, Poet and Philosopher: Ram Varma's new book, "Be Still and Know..." comes fast on the heels of his first book, "This Splendid World of Yours." Ram is a prolific writer with a true sense of purpose. His mission is to educate folks into achieving their real potential of living a fulfilling life on earth. In his latest book the reader will learn that through the stillness of their very being, they will magnetize all their hearts desires. A wonderful book for the tranquility of Mind, Body as it embraces the Soul. M.L.

Ram Varma, the author, has written this book from his own personal experiences and points the way to eternity is here and now. "Be still and know..." is so filled with truth, so powerful, so crisp and crystal clear that I was compelled to write this review and share it with others.

I have read so many books before that contained some of the same messages but it was extremely difficult for me to extract the message and apply it. The beauty of this book is its simplicity. It is a straight forward book with useful questions and answers and useful ways to apply them in your life.

After reading this book, one feels like you are ready to free yourself from the torture that our minds and our judgements inflict on us. I've at last found what I was looking for.... how to find satisfaction in my everyday life and to be constantly surrounded by peace and tranquility within myself.

A thoroughly recommended read for all.

Also read Ram Varma's "This Splendid World of Yours".....another thoroughly recommended book

How do we connect with the Inner Spirit, with the Supreme Spirit? How do we connect with God and learn to listen to the answers to our questions? How can we still the noise and chatter of our intellect that so often distracts us from our true purpose, being to live a joyful, fulfilling life? Ram Varma gives the answers in "Be Still and Know......." He gives us the nuts and bolts; a step-by-step guide with fully laid out meditations that we can follow on a daily basis. His words, lessons and insights shine with a pristine clarity that aims at the heart of the matter and reveals the truth. This book will guide you on your path back home, so that you can experience the wonders of the connection with the Supreme Spirit in the here and now, in present moment presence. Highly recommended.
