Swami Rama (1925-1996) (Click here for a picture) was a famous yogi of the Himalayan tradition who spent a long stretch of his life teaching in the USA. He is especially notable as one of the first yogis to allow himself to be studied by Western scientists.

Originally his name was Bhole Baba. When he was initiated into the order of Sannyas he was given the name Dandi Swami Sadashiva Bharati. Only later he became known simply as Swami Rama.

He was the founder of the Himalayan Institute of Yoga Science and Philosophy which has its headquarter in Honesdale, PA and branches in the USA, Europa and India.
