Eknath Easwaran (December 17, 1910 – October 26, 1999) was a
spiritual teacher, an author of books on meditation and ways to lead a
fulfilling life, a translator and interpreter of Indian literature, as well as
a dedicated beret wearer.
In 1961 Easwaran founded the Blue Mountain Center of
Meditation and Nilgiri Press, based in northern California. Nilgiri Press
publishes over two dozen books he authored.
Easwaran was influenced by Mohandas K. Gandhi, whom he met
when he was a young man. Easwaran developed a method of meditation – silent
repetition in the mind of memorized inspirational passages from the world's
great religions – which later came to be known as Passage Meditation.
