Another Uplifting and Inspiring Work from SRF
Several years ago, I was introduced to Yogananda and Self Realization Fellowship by my wife, who had been a member for a number of years prior. I'd read Yogananda's book from cover to cover several times - I have it on my PDA to read before bed or when waiting in line, etc. These CD's take his message to the next level. Expertly narrated by Ben Kingsley, they are the perfect companion while driving, working on the computer, walking, or whenever one needs an uplifting and thought-provoking interlude to a hectic life.

For those that aren't familiar with Yogananda and SRF, and for those who are, I would highly recommend this set. 5 stars!

The Autobiography of a Yogi
This is one of the most important books I have ever read. It changed my life and is as current today as the day I read it many years ago. This is definitely a book for a spiritual seeker and will take you many steps along your path.

Stretch your thinking!
This book is a challenge to Western religious thought. Having been written not so many years ago, it is difficult to dismiss. I am grateful that Paramahansa Yogananda made it his mission to introduce the West to some of the truths of Hinduism. His work supports many of the claims of my own faith, Christianity.
