Visit us online at www.1stWorldLibrary.ORG - The translator's idea of rendering the Upanishads into clear simple English, accessible to Occidental readers, had its origin in a visit paid to a Boston friend in 1909. The gentleman, then battling with a fatal malady, took from his library shelf a translation of the Upanishads and, opening it, expressed deep regret that the obscure and unfamiliar form shut from him what he felt to be profound and vital teaching. The desire to unlock the closed doors of this ancient treasure house, awakened at that time, led to a series of classes on the Upanishads at The Vedanta Centre of Boston during its early days in St. Botolph Street. The translation and commentary then given were trans-cribed and, after studious revision, were published in the Centre's monthly magazine, "The Message of the East," in 1913 and 1914.. Still further revision has brought it to its present form.

The Self Beyond Psychology

By: Swami Paramananda

Swami Paramananda, an enlightened mystic, has once more met the challenge of bridging the gap between science and spirituality. In his 30th book, The Self Beyond Psychology, he has not only brilliantly exposed the limitations of psychology, but also revealed the true nature of the self, which so far has proved to be beyond its scope. As he so rightly states, "Psychology, which boasts of being a science of human behaviour, has, like mainstream science, failed to understand the fundamental nature of man." The reader will be marvelled to travel in the inner universe, far beyond the limits of contemporary psychology, to probe into the mystery of the self, skilfully revealed by the light of wisdom of Swamiji. From this novel standpoint, humanity will no doubt be empowered with the precious knowledge it so badly needs to free itself from the quagmire of confusion and ignorance in which it is presently enmeshed. This laudable endeavour of Swami Paramananda indeed provides a true holistic understanding of human nature in contrast with the fragmentary and partial understanding of mainstream science and psychology.

The Upanishads

By: Swami Parmananda

The Upanishads are some of the world's most important works of spiritual literature, presented here in an accessible form by an early ambassador of Vedantic teaching. Swami Paramananda's translations were created in the early 1900s out of a desire to make the Hindu sacred texts comprehensible to Westerners, who had previously had to contend with the more obscure language of purely scholarly translations. The text and commentary was generated in a series of classes given by Paramananda in Boston, and later revised for publication. As a result the language is simple and clear, and the annotations relevant to a non-Hindu audience. These translations and commentary are still cherished by English speakers the world over for their lucidity and insight, and will be an asset to anyone interested in Vedic spirituality.

A Handbook on Discipleship

Based on the Teachings of Paramhansa Yogananda

By: Swami Kriyananda

This Handbook on Discipleship explains why a guru is needed, what a true guru is, and how to follow the guru. It also clears up many common misunderstandings on the subject that are prevalent in current spiritual thinking. These lessons offer a rare opportunity to learn about discipleship from a lifelong disciple of a fully realized Master. Swami Kriyananda has been a disciple of Paramhansa Yogananda for over sixty years. For all of the extraordinary accomplishments of Swami Kriyananda’s life — over one hundred books, over four hundred pieces of music, successful spiritual communities all over the world, and more — he gives full credit to Yogananda and to what he has gained as his disciple.
