The Road Ahead

Based on World Prophecies of the Famed Indian Mystic Paramhansa Yogananda

By: Swami Kriyananda

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.

The Essential Teaching

By: Swami Tejomayananda

Upadesa Sara - the essence of all teaching - is one of the most popular Vendatic texts. It explains the paths of Action (Karma Yoga), Yoga (Astanga Yoga) and Knowledge (Jnana Yoga) and how they lead to the final goal of Self Knowledge. The great sage, Bhagvan Ramana Maharishi presents the subject in a simple and beautiful way. Swami Tejomayananda's commentary further simplifies the text and brings out its essence in an appealing way.

The Key to Peace

By: Swami Satchidananda

One of Swami Satchidananda's greatest, compact works, The Key to Peace shows clearly that peace is what really matters in life and explains how to be in that peace always by not disturbing our real nature. When our supreme inner peace is undisturbed, we are automatically in joy, in love, in light. It inspires us to lead a life of balance, contentment, above likes and dislikes-a life where everything comes to you. Topics include the forbidden fruit, selflessness, use but don't possess, be always happy, the greatest mantra, just keep giving, real service, joy is your reward, God's business, love to serve. If you call it a spiritual practice or service or Karma Yoga, it should give you the maximum joy. If it doesn't, it's just a selfish act.

Swami Yogananda's the Science of Religion (1920 Original Edition)

By: Swami Yogananda

Religion mainly means God consciousness or the realization of God, which it really does, then there is one Religion in the world for there is one God. And different customs, conventions, forms of worship, tenets may be held to form the grounds for the origin of different sects included under that one Religion. If Religion is understood in this way then and then only can its universality be maintained. For we cannot possibly universalize particular customs, conventions. But the common element in Religion can be universalized. We can ask everyone to follow it. Then it can be said that Religion is not only necessary, but it is universal too. Everyone must follow the same Religion, for it is one, its universal element is one and the same. Its customs and conventions differ only. I have tried to show in the brochure that as God is One, necessary for all of us, so religion is one, necessary and universal.In order to understand the real necessity of God and Religion we must have a conception quite relevant to our daily aims and actions. Hence Religion necessarily consist in the permanent removal of pain and the realization of Bliss or God. If we understand Religion in this way, then its universality becomes obvious.

Stories of Mukunda - Early Life of Paramahansa Yogananda

By: Swami Yogananda,Brother Kriyananda

These Stories will Inspire you and especially your Children. Bigger Fonts, Easy to Read. This book is an early collection of reminiscences of wisdom and wit of the great Kriya Yoga Master Paramahansa Yogananda. These are true stories. The fourteen anecdotes are among those that Paramahansa Yogananda recounted to lecture audiences in America or that were told to SRF disciples by his relatives and friends who had known him in his early life in India. In his narratives the great Master did not always mention names, dates, and places. He would often start out: "One time, this friend and I..." and then proceed with the tale. Therefore, in writing the stories, I have not always been certain about the chronology, settings, and personal names. I have found it expedient to bestow fictitious names on certain people in various episodes. The only true names are Mukunda, Sri Yukteswarji, Ananta, Roma, Prabhas Chandra Ghosh, and "Maid-Ma." During Paramahansaji's last years, I had the blessing, as a disciple at Mount Washington Center, of seeing the Master often. In this book I have tried to depict in words, which are inadequate at best, the spirit of Yoganandaji: a spirit ardent with love for God, tender with sympathy for all men, forgiving, kindly, humorous; yet resolute and forceful when strength was needed; never afraid to side with a righteous cause, however unpopular.

PURSUIT OF HAPPINESS

PURSUIT OF HAPPINESS

By: Swami Chinmayananda

The authors of the 'U.S. Declaration of Independence' declared that all men are endowed by their Creator with certain rights, including Pursuit of Happiness. However, they gave no hints as to where this elusive happiness might be found. Over 3,000 years earlier in the serene atmosphere of the Himalayan ranges, the sages of Veda period drew the same conclusion and proceeded to investigate into the nature of happiness. They wanted to know where happiness was located and how to find it. In their careful observations they noted three facts: Man's search for happiness is a universal tendency. Everyone is searching for lasting happiness in a world of change. Permanent happiness must be independent of a changing environment. Arriving at these conclusions, the sages turned their enquiry inward to discover a substratum of permanence on which the changing phenomena rose and fell. In the short essays in Pursuit of Happiness, Swami Chinmayananda lucidly communicates the conclusions drawn by these subjective scientists who realised their own divine nature and proposed a way of life so that others might follow on the inner journey to the true source of happiness. Hailed as the second Swami Vivekananda, Swami Chinmayananda (1916-1993) has left a great legacy behind for mankind. On realising the true purpose of life he worked tirelessly and with tremendous energy for more than four decades to spread the message of Vedanta. A great orator, writer, leader, patriot and spiritual giant, he is one of the finest representatives of Indian spiritual heritage. The sprawling worldwide organisation of Chimaya Mission carries on the torch lit by this great saint.

Eternal Words

Spiritual Instructions of Swami Adbhutananda

By: Swami Siddhananda

Swami Adbhutananda, or Latu Maharaj, was one of the sixteen monastic disciples of Sri Ramakrishna. Swami Vivekananda called him Sri Ramakrishna’s greatest miracle. He remarked upon Latu Maharaj’s uniqueness saying: “Latu progressed so quickly in the spiritual realm that, considering the different circumstances of his background and ours, he is far greater than us. We were all born of high ancestry and came to the Master with an intellect refined by formal education whereas Latu was entirely illiterate. If we did not care to meditate or do other spiritual practices, we could escape such a mood by studying. But Latu had no other recourse. He had to hold on to a single idea throughout his life. Starting from a very ordinary and low state, by keeping his mind unruffled by meditation and other spiritual practices alone, Latu became fit to receive the highest spiritual wealth. This indicates his inner potential power and the limitless grace of our Master.” Published by Advaita Ashrama, a publication house of Ramakrishna Math, Belur Math, this is an English translation of ‘Sat Katha’ in Bengali by Swami Siddhananda. The translation was completed in 2012 and thereafter serialized in the monthly Prabuddha Bharata. Swami Siddhananda was Latu Maharaj’s attendant and was fortunate to hear the spiritual instructions which flowed from him. He published a number of his talks serially in the Udbodhan magazine under the title Satkatha which later was published in book form.

Songs of the Soul is an outpouring of his direct perceptions of God - God in nature, in man, in everyday experiences, and in the spiritually awakened state of Samadhi meditation.Many of these poems were penned in train compartments and hotel rooms as Yogananda crossed America on lecture tours through the 1920s and '30s -- spontaneous outpourings, that provide a unique window into the inner life of a great spiritual teacher and man of God. Yogananda's poems are magnificent with divine perception. His writings are not the considered renderings of a poet's fancies, but a revelation of the interior expereinces of a soul ever awake in Spirit, responding to the wonders of nature; to the memories of his beloved motherland; to the deep impressions made by new friends and acquaintances; above all, to the divine realizations born of that soul's intimate communions with God.But here's the thought-provoking question that resonates through the verses: What if these soul-stirring poems are not just words on paper but a pathway to connect with the divine within ourselves? Yoganandaji's poetries are an echo of the spiritual journey that each soul undertakes. Explore the depth of Songs of the Soul, where each stanza is a step towards God-Realization and a communion with the divine. Yoganandaji's work is not just a poetry collection; it's an invitation to experience the beauty and spirituality that can be found in every heartbeat and breath.Songs of the Soul, Poetries By Swami Yogananda is a soul-stirring collection of poetry that echoes the divine within every reader. With profound verses and spiritual insights, Yogananda's poetry uplifts hearts, evokes contemplation, and connects individuals to their innermost selves and the universal consciousness.

Swami Abhishiktananda

Essential Writings

By: Swami Abhishiktananda

Swami Abhishiktananda (Henri le Saux, 1910-1973) is one of the most intriguing spiritual figures of the twentieth century. A Breton-born monk who moved to India in 1948, he initially hoped to Christianize India along Benedictine lines. Instead his deep encounter with Hindu spirituality, particularly the experience of "non-duality," led him on an even more challenging and adventurous path, adopting the appearance and life if an Indian holy man. His last years were spent living as a hermit in the Himalayas.
