He set forth at an early age to educate himself and to seek a better philosophy for living.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eTraveling throughout the East almost always on foot, he visited the depositories of books available. The primary places where libraries were open to him were lamaseries and monasteries, although with the passing of time some private libraries of royalty and of wealthy families were also thrown open to him.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAfter many years of searching and many visits to the lonely high places where he could fast and meditate, Ramacharaka found a basis for his philosophy. At about this same time, he took as a pupil, Baba Bharata, who was the eight year old son of a Brahmin family. Together teacher and pupil retraced the steps of the teacher's earlier travels, while Ramacharaka indoctrinated the boy with his philosophy.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFeeling that his life was drawing to a close, Ramacharaka sent his pupil forth to carry their beliefs to the new world. Baba Bharata became acquainted with William Walker Atkinson, an English author.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe men collaborated and with Bharata providing the material and Atkinson the writing talent, they wrote the books which they attributed to Yogi Ramacharaka as a measure of their respect. The very fact that after all these years their books are well known around the world and sell better with every passing year is a credit, too, to the two men who wrote the books.","brand":"The Asian Philosophy and Spirituality Society","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47068769255664,"sku":"2940013467170","price":2.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/2940013467170_p0.jpg?v=1763581673","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/2940013467170","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
