Eknath Easwaran (December, 1910 – October 26, 1999) was born in a village in Kerala, India. He served as Professor of English literature at the University of Nagpur, and was a Fulbright Scholar at the University of California, Berkeley.[1] His translations of the Bhagavad Gita, the Upanishads, and the Dhammapada are critically acclaimed. His best-selling book is called Meditation: A Simple Eight Point Program for Translating Spiritual Values into Daily Life. He was influenced by Gandhi, whom Easwaran met when he was a young man.
Eknath Easwaran developed a method of meditation called "Passage Meditation" — silent repetition in the mind of
memorized inspirational passages from the world's great religions.
As Easwaran said, "The slow, sustained concentration on these passages drives them deep into our minds; and whatever we drive deep into
consciousness, that we become."

Easwaran's program for spiritual growth consists of eight points:
- Passage Meditation
- The repetition of a mantram (a holy word or phrase), sometimes referred to as Japam
- Slowing down
- One-pointedness
- Training the senses
- Putting others first
- Satsang, or a spiritual fellowship
- Reading the writings of the mystics
Easwaran founded the Blue Mountain Center of Meditation and Nilgiri Press, which publishes over two dozen books he authored.
