IN SEARCH OF THE HIGHEST TRUTH

Adventures in Yoga Philosophy

An introduction to yoga philosophy that helps readers bridge the gap between ancient teachings and contemporary life.

"Here is a carefully conceived book that will be appreciated by students and teachers alike as an excellent introduction to yoga philosophy"  ~ Joshua M. Greene, author of Swami in a Strange land: How Krishna Came to the West

I'm Hari-kirtana das: author, mentor, teacher, and public speaker.

I've spent over 40 years studying, practicing, and teaching yoga philosophy—and, more importantly, trying to live it.

Along the way, I’ve taught yogis, seekers, and skeptics alike, helping them navigate big questions about purpose, meaning, and how to stay sane in a world that often feels like it’s spinning out of control.

Whether through books, classes, or conversation, my goal is to make deep wisdom accessible, practical, and (dare I say) even a little fun.

My goal is to help you discover the highest truth about yourself, the world, and the source of both, that you can imagine.

More kind words from people who've studied with me:

"Hari's workshops and courses are always both accessible and sophisticated. He brings warmth, humor, and a deep understanding of the philosophy and practices of yoga to every class."

Vikram Hirani

"Hari gave us the texts straight up, not a watered-down version that stripped the teachings of their depth and transformative power. I grew the most when I felt the most challenged."
