This is an unparalleled firsthand account of Paramhansa Yogananda and his teachings, written by one of his closest students. Yogananda is one of the world's most widely known and universally respected spiritual masters. His Autobiography of a Yogi has helped stimulate a spiritual awakening in the West and a spiritual renaissance in his native land of India. More than half a century ago, in a hilltop ashram in Los Angeles, California, an American disciple sat at the feet of his Master, faithfully recording his words as his teacher had asked him to do. Paramhansa Yogananda knew this disciple would carry his message to people everywhere. Kriyananda was often present when Yogananda spoke privately with other close disciples; when he received visitors and answered their questions; when he was dictating and discussing his important writings. Yogananda put Kriyananda in charge of the other monks, and gave him advice for their spiritual development. In all these situations, Kriyananda recorded the words and guidance of Yogananda, preserving for the ages wisdom that would otherwise have been lost, and giving us an intimate glimpse of life with Yogananda never before shared by any other student. These Conversations include not only Yogananda's words as he first spoke them, but also the added insight of an intimate disciple who has spent more than 50 years reflecting on and practicing the teachings of Yogananda. Through these Conversations, Yogananda comes alive. Time and space dissolve. We sit at the feet of the Master, listen to his words, receive his wisdom, delight in his humor, and are transformed by his love.

That we live in a 'New Age' seems an incontestable fact. Just a 100 years ago the world had no paved roads , no speeding cars, airplanes, mobile phones, washing machines, computers or satellite dishes - to name but a few of the things that today we take for granted. But the greatest change that has occurred has been our perception of reality, which began with the discovery that matter is actually only composed of vibrations of energy and that energy is the reality behind everything around us. Today we perceive everything in terms of energy – we have become an energy-conscious as well as energy-dependent society. In this a collection of fascinating essays on a variety of topics, Swami Kriyananda, a renowned and prolific writer, presents an approach to modern life that may seem radically new. The book's title essay, Religion in the New Age, shares the ancient teaching, common to many cultures, that time is cyclical and that we are now in an upward cycle, coming into an age of energy-awareness from a darker age of matter. The author describes society, political and social events and religion and religious institutions from the viewpoint of different cycles of time. The essays in this book touch on a wealth of subjects that range from a fresh perspective on the 'New Age' to insights into September 11th, the importance of truthfulness, how to understand people and much more. This is a book for people who a searching for a deeper understanding of life. Swami Kriyananda's views are thought-provoking and inspire the reader to a greater awareness, self-honesty and hope.

For years, the Christian faith has been severely shaken by a growing series of attacks, including: the breakdown of church authority, the repeated discovery of ancient texts that supposedly contradict long-held beliefs and the sometimes outlandish historical analyses of Scripture by academics. Together, these forces have helped create a spiritual vacuum filled with substantial confusion and uncertainty about the true teachings and meanings of Christ's life. The rising tide of alternative beliefs proves that now, more than ever, people are yearning for a clear-minded, convincing, yet uplifting understanding of the life and teachings of Jesus Christ. This galvanising book, presenting the teachings of Christ from the experience and perspective of Paramhansa Yogananda, one of the greatest spiritual masters of the twentieth century, finally offers the fresh perspective on Christ's teachings for which the world has been waiting. This book presents us with an opportunity to understand and apply the Scriptures in a more reliable way than any other: by studying under those saints who have communed directly, in deep ecstasy, with Christ and God.

This offbeat, heartfelt account takes the reader on a journey of life, death and freedom through the eyes of a devoted yet independent daughter, showing how an alternative spiritual path can affect families immersed in traditional religion. From his birth in the slums of Chicago to his passing in North Hollywood, Aaron Oscar Zaret (1927–2008) - nicknamed Zeke by his Navy cronies - sings, story-tells and dances his way through his last days. A subtext woven throughout the book is the author's complicated father-daughter relationship, which for both of them, turned out to be "just what the doctor ordered."

Why do some enter a field of work and everything flourishes, yet others don't succeed, no matter how hard they try? Success in every area depends on the strength and quality of your magnetism. Discover how to release the enormous energy latent within and direct it one-pointedly towards whatever you want to achieve. By developing your magnetism you can learn new skills, attract inspiration and draw friends and loved ones. Magnetism makes it all possible. Paramhansa Yogananda - the great spiritual teacher and author of the classic, Autobiography of a Yogi - described spiritual magnetism as the “power of all powers” and often counselled people, even those seeking material success, to concentrate first on developing spiritual magnetism. He said: “Develop power to attract the highest thing, then you can easily attract all lesser things.” When we have strong spiritual magnetism, we are able to attract whatever else we need: inspiration, money, the right job, a good living situation or a compatible life partner.

THE FOUR STAGES OF YOGA is an anthology of stories and conversations that encompass the journey yogis take from birth to the last moments of life. Here, we see how Vedic India's classic Four Ashrams of Life are experienced in the context of a yoga community in the foothills of the Sierra Nevada Mountains. Just as Vedic myths have been carried down through eons to entertain and enlighten us, the true stories and visions encompassed herein speak to the very heart of living yoga in an everyday world. The first stage includes stories of childbirth and how yogis can draw a spiritual soul into their family, to rites of passage for children and how yogic schools for young adults help instill and deepen compassion. During the creation of a unique yoga college come stories of visits with the Dalai Lama at his home in McLeod Ganj, as well as experiences with yogis, rishis and mystics throughout India. In the second stage of life we explore how householder relationships evolve; conscious work for those with monastic tendencies; how Vedic astrology can assist our lives as well as how yogis approach love, romance and celibacy and the mysticism that surrounds a yogic marriage ritual. In the third stage we are introduced to how yogic couples, singles and monastics are living their lives in creative new ways. The fourth stage offers reports of those embracing the Vedic sannyas vows and how they live their lives during this remarkable and powerful stage of surrender and transcendence. Conversations with rishis, yogic psychics and those experiencing this cycle provide a lens that offers hope and satisfaction for the last stages of life and the final preparation for death and the afterlife.

In this book you'll step behind the scenes and explore the inspirations that led Swami Kriyananda to write all of his books (now numbering more than 80) from his first book YOURS-THE UNIVERSE! printed on a mimeograph machine to his most recent book CONVERSATIONS WITH YOGANANDA a world-wide bestseller printed on three continents. Paramahansa Yogananda started Swami Kriyananda on the path of writing when he told his young disciple: Your work is writing editing and teaching. Swami Kriyananda explains that he has always seen Yogananda's teachings as the hub of a wheel from which spokes reach out in all directions to provide valuable insights for all aspects of life. As Kriyananda says I set out to write books that would demonstrate how life lived at every level could be given deeper meaning: how one could succeed at anything he wanted and attain any goal he set for himself. The simple rules of life Yogananda gave to the world can help everyone to achieve the universal goal of all life: happiness.

Abraham Lincoln was a yogi. No . . . there is no record that he assumed the headstand during Cabinet meetings. Nor did he meditate in the lotus pose before delivering the Gettysburg Address. Yet, in many aspects of his life - in little things he did and in his reactions to situations - Lincoln behaved, quite naturally and unconsciously, just like a yogi. Yoga is more than a series of physical postures. It is a philosophy, a way of life, a spiritual path. In fact, whether they know it or not, many people today who consider themselves "spiritual" follow a yogic way of life. And so did Lincoln.Lincoln would have agreed, in his own way and to varying degrees, with certain points of view followed nowadays by spiritual people. He was, in some ways, a forerunner of the modern truth seeker."Abraham Lincoln [in a past life] had been a yogi in the Himalayas." -Paramhansa Yogananda, author of the classic Autobiography of a Yogi
