Divine Joy Comes Through |

GREAT words of the Master, Yogananda, pour through this book. Very well organized. It generates a feeling of love for God in the heart. |

From an avid Paramahansa reader, this book is just okay |
I've read I believe all of Paramahansa's books. Of all of them, this one feels, in a word, "edited". It feels to me like a lot of the passages come more from the mind rather than from the heart. I think a lot of the words came from people other than Paramahansa. There is still a lot of wisdom in the book and a lot of words that touch the heart that seem to come directly from Paramahansa. But of all the Paramahansa books out there I would recommned this one the least.
They even use less preferred spelling of his name Paramhansa rather than Paramahansa.
If you really want to get fired up for God read Paramahansa's "Man's Eternal Quest"..especially the second half of book. |

Finding Happiness in all the Right Places |
How often have we heard that the quest for happiness is somehow selfish, hedonistic and unworthy? It seems bizarre that most therapists have seen countless people who have felt guilt because they wanted to be happy.
Yet the human drive to be happy is a fundamental need that was recognized by the Ancient Greeks, Taoists in China and Hindus in India, as well as contemporary "Positive" psychologists. It is sad to learn that according to a recent Gallup poll, only a minority of Americans describe themselves as "very happy." It's easy to say, "Well what should we expect? Just watch the news." But that misses the point: most of us have never been taught how to unlock the secrets of happiness, joy and inner peace. Secrets that can help sustain us in the face of adversity.
Yogananda's Autobiography of a Yogi has remained a firm favorite since my teens, and many of his other books and lectures have been inspirational. What is always so different about his work is that he clearly writes and speaks from personal experience, unlike so many who only recite what they have heard or read. I did not know just how much material remained unpublished.
This short but meaty book consists of material that has apparently never been released before. As with his other books, his approach is powerful, but his style could best be described as rather playful. In just 143 pages, excluding the index and other resources, Yogananda explains virtually everything that you need to know to lead a happier and more fulfilling life.
He covers a number of important topics including:
1. Looking for happiness in the wrong place
2. Happiness is a choice
3. Avoiding the happiness
4. Learn to behave
5. Simplicity is the key
6. Sharing your happiness with others
7. True success and prosperity
8. Inner freedom and joy
9. Finding God is the greatest happiness
This is one of those books that you could read in a couple of hours. But its fruits could stay with you for a lifetime. It gives you not just ideas, but practical skills, and there will likely be single passages on which you will want to meditate before moving on to anything else. It is a book that for many people can be life-changing.
Highly recommended.

Stolen Goods? |
J. Donald Waters (aka Kriyananda) was expelled by the board of Self-Realization Fellowship in the 1950's. Self-Realization Fellowship is the only authentic organization that Paramahansa Yogananda himself established and worked tirelessly for. Kriyananda made off with Yogananda's writings and started publishing them himself under the name Crystal Clarity Publishers.
Anyone interested should investigate the differences between Yogananda's Self-Realization Fellowship and Kriyananda's Ananda. Also, I suggest one should further research why Kriyananda was asked to leave SRF and some of the subsequent trouble he has gotten himself into.
Yogananda's Self-Realization Fellowship organization continues to thrive and expand worldwide. I recommend only purchasing genuine, original, not-copied books published by Yogananda's Self-Realization Fellowship. They will have the name Self-Realization Fellowship inside as well as the SRF emblem (which is a star within a circle within a lotus). |

A delightful and thoughtful masterpiece |
The author of Autobiography of a Yogi brings out pearls of wisdom on how to be happy in this small but priceless book. Most of the sayings here are not found in his other works. The advise given here is so simple yet so difficult to follow for ordinary mortals like us.
However, if one is able to follow the advise here, his/her life would be filled with so much bliss. The language used in this book is also easy to digest and understand and the reader would feel a sense of friendship and closeness with the author just by reading and applying the words of wisdom in every day living.
In conclusion, I would strongly recommend this book to everyone, especially those who are suffering from depression. The reader would be uplifted by the words being written here. A very engaging and powerful book. |
