Swamis Swami Rama writes in Living with the Himalayan Masters "Our tradition is Bharati. Bha means 'knowledge'; rati means 'lover'. Bharati means 'he who is the lover of knowledge.'"

Swami Rama initiated several people into the swami order of Shankaracharya. These swamis include:

Several others who did not know Swami Rama have also been initiated as swamis since he left the body.
