About the Author
Paramahansa Yogananda (1893-1952) is widely regarded as one of the preeminent spiritual teachers of our time. His acclaimed life story, "Autobiography of a Yogi", and his many other books have introduced millions of readers to the timeless truths underlying the religious traditions of East and West. Today his spiritual and humanitarian work is carried on by Self-Realization Fellowship, the international society he founded in 1920 to disseminate his teachings worldwide.

Customer Reviews

It helps
There is no magic book or guru that is going to make you happy and end the suffering and trials of life. But this book gives you some peace while you read it. And you feel good about things for a few hours afterwards. I have some other booklets by the author and I always find some gem of thought that makes me feel better.

Slim volume offers deep space for ongoing contemplation
One of the finest qualities of this title is there is so much room for personal reflection, contemplation and application between the content. It isn't dense, yet it is best that you take time to slowly sip the words, to breathe them in and see what the text is saying explicitly and directly to you.

Author and spiritual leader Paramahansa Yoganada teaches "how to's" in pithy chunks and nuggets of inspiration. There is plenty of space to read, breathe, reflect, ponder and meditate - which Yoganada teaches his readers, is a science.

Further, the book teaches the reader how to be actively calm and calmly active so that the spiritual health may be at its optimum.

Favorite quotes from the book include:

"Seclusion is the price of greatness"

"Peace eminates from the soul and is the sacred environment in which true happiness unfolds."

Definitely worthy of a read.

Meditation Demystified
Yogananda was a master teacher. In this book he gives one of the simplest guides to meditation. Going inward allows you to taste the bliss of inner peace.
I recomend this book to anyone seeking to find their heart's desire. Inner Peace will give you the strenghth and stability to deal with the duality of the external world.
