The greatness of a spiritual teacher is only partially revealed by the work of his own hands. The rest of the story is one he cannot tell for himself. It is the influence of his consciousness on those who come in contact with him. Here, in some two hundred stories spanning more than forty years, personal reminiscences and private moments with this master teacher become universal life lessons for us all.
Rarely in a lifetime does a new spiritual classic appear that has the power to change people's lives and transform future generations. This is such a book. The Essence of the Bhagavad Gita Explained by Paramhansa Yogananda shares the profound insights of Paramhansa Yogananda, author of Autobiography of a Yogi, as remembered by one of his few remaining direct disciples, Swami Kriyananda. This revelation of India's best-loved scripture approaches it from an entirely fresh perspective, showing its deep allegorical meaning and also its down-to-earth practicality. The themes presented are universal: how to achieve victory in life in union with the divine; how to prepare for life's "final exam," d...
Yogananda was one of the most significant spiritual teachers of the 20th century. Since his classic, Autobiography of a Yogi, was first published in 1946, its popularity has increased steadily throughout the world. The Essence of Self-Realization is filled with lessons and stories that Yogananda shared only with his closest disciples, this volume offers one of the most insightful and engaging glimpses into the life and lessons of a great sage.

In 1958 and 1972, Swami Kriyananda (a close and direct disciple of the great Indian spiritual master Paramhansa Yogananda—author of Autobiography of a Yogi) traveled to India, meeting a number of great saints in that distant land and writing about his experiences in a series of letters to spiritual friends, and brother and sister disciples. This book captures the spirit of Yogananda's classic autobiography and other enlightening accounts of sacred experiences in the East. In Visits to Saints of India we walk alongside Kriyananda and see India and its spiritual representatives through his eyes—the eyes of an advanced Western yogi and truth seeker. As Kriyananda wrote in the prologue to this book: India! Land of great saints and yogis. One has only to set foot on that sacred ground, if he is sensitive, to feel the blessings rising up therefrom. Fittingly did Paramhansa Yogananda end his life with the last words of his poem, “My India”: “I am hallowed. My body touched that sod.”
The Road Ahead is an exploration of the Paramhansa Yogananda's predictions about the future of our planet. Yogananda’s initial impact on Western culture was truly impressive. His lasting spiritual legacy has been even greater. His Autobiography of a Yogi, first published in 1946, helped launch a spiritual revolution in the West. Translated into more than fifty languages, it remains a best-selling spiritual classic to this day. Originally published by Swami Kriyananda in 1973, the book discusses what Yogananda's predictions could mean in our lives and how we can best approach the challenges that face us. While Yogananda's predictions are sometimes dire, The Road Ahead ultimately looks forward with expansive solutions to whatever upheavals this world brings. This re-release has a new foreword written by Nayaswami Jyotish and Nayaswami Devi, the global leaders of Ananda Sangha Worldwide.
For fifty years, Nayaswami Anandi Cornell was a deeply devoted disciple of Paramhansa Yogananda, and a student of his beloved disciple, Swami Kriyananda. To everyone she met, Anandi was a beautiful channel of divine love; her life’s quest was to reciprocate and express the pure love she received. In this book, there are sacred and precious experiences and stories never shared before by Anandi. Part One contains stories of Swami Kriyananda, especially of how he helped Anandi perfect her divine love and attunement. Part Two features excerpts from her personal correspondence with Yogananda which capture the intimate dialogue that develops between devoted disciple and guru. Part Three includes accounts of Anandi’s remarkable passage to higher realms, and how she continues to visit and bless devotees on earth. Trained in Divine Love is Anandi’s gift to the Divine in all of us – that we immerse ourselves completely in God’s perfect love and bliss.

Is it possible that two of the greatest men of the Norman Conquest—William the Conqueror and his son, Henry I of England—have recently reincarnated as Paramhansa Yogananda (spiritual master and author of the classic Autobiography of a Yogi) and his close disciple, Swami Kriyananda-and if so, what are the subtle connections between the Norman Conquest and modern times? How will these past lives influence our future? In Two Souls: Four Lives, Catherine Kairavi describes a society much more primitive than our own in both knowledge and consciousness, she depicts the days of William and Henry as having been far more brutal than our own, despite the much greater capacity for destruction of mod...
