Swami Kriyananda

ISBN: 978-81-89430-35-1 565 pp. Rs. 350

Seventy years ago, a young American o thirteen dedicated himsel to

search or truth. He at once rejected the values to which he had beenraised : prosperity, security, social acceptance and worldly ambition. But where

lay the answers? He began with science, proceeded to social reorm; thence

sought sel-transormation through the arts. Each path he tried led to a dead

end. At last he realized that the only orce in history that has done any lasting

good is religion.

In a moving chapter o this book he describes how he agonized over the

question, What is God? The answer he received led him at last to

"Autobiography o a Yogi" and thence to its author, Paramhansa

Yogananda, who accepted him as his disciple.

laboratory les. There they nd a paper that says, "Time does not go in a straight

line, rom past to present to uture, as people think. Rather, it proceeds in a circle

has been called the disaster o modern education. In this book, Swami

Kriyananda traces the problem to modern educations emphasis on

technological competence and rote learning at the expense o spiritual

values, which alone can give higher meaning to lie. Based on pioneering

educational work in India in the early years o the Twentieth Century by

Paramhansa Yogananda, the Education or Lie system has been tested

and proven or over three decades at Living Wisdom Schools located

throughout the United States. Education or Lie provides the basis or the

Yoga Institutes o Living Wisdom in Caliornia and in India.

Education or Lie has opened up a wider and more stimulating vision o education. It is well

beyond the image o our traditional school systems.

Guide. It elevated my approach to astrology and strengthened and ocused my spiritual search."

"The author's words have a down-to-earth, balanced loving quality that reaches the core o my

Swami Kriyananda's studies embrace Indian as well as Western astrology. He

shows how extraordinarily sophisticated this ancient science is in its careul

delineation o twelve basic categories o human nature. Your Sun Sign as A

Spiritual Guide, however, goes ar beyond merely intellectual discussion. Fresh,

humorous, and ull o wisdom, it provides a wealth o original insight in a eld

This revelation o Indias best-loved scripture approaches Sri Krishnas

message rom an entirely resh perspective, showing its deep allegorical

meaning and also its down-to-earth practicality. This commentary makes

these deep teachings so accessible that it truly has the potential to bring

millions to God, as Yogananda predicted.

Unbelievably, Swami Kriyananda nished this workcomprising as it did

well over six hundred pagesin less than two months! To everyone, himsel

included, it seemed a miracle. Masters thoughts poured eortlessly into

my mind, Swami Kriyananda related, helping me to ll page ater page with

deep insights and inspiration. I have a very clear memory, and can recall vividly

the days I spent in my Masters company, reading his entire manuscript, and

helping him with its editing. I said to him at the time, Sir, this is the most

wonderul thing I have ever read!

The Bhagavad Gita (PocketEdition)

Paramhansa Yoganandas revelation o Indias best-loved scripture brought an entirely

resh perspective. This present pocket editiona Gita juniorhighlights the verses

themselves, being limited to them almost entirely. They appear in fuent, correct, and

contemporary English, making this book a must-have or the modern spiritual aspirant.

In the introduction to Chapter One, Swamiji explains that although the Gita

is historical, it is not literal. Rather it is a deep spiritual allegory, woven upon a

ramework o history. The characters symbolize various psychological traits and

latent states o consciousness that serve as essential reerence points to develop

the story. Each trait or aspect o consciousness plays an important role in the

devotees struggle to rise above worldly delusion and reclaim his true state o union

with God.

Paramhansa Yogananda was the rst Yoga Master o India whose mission was

to live and teach in the West. In the 1920s, as he criss-crossed the United States

on what he called his spiritual campaigns, his enthusiastic audiences lled the

largest halls o America.

His initial impact was truly impressive. But his lasting infuence is greater still.

This book, rst published in 1946, helped launch and till date continues to

inspire a spiritual revolution.

This is the rst time, that an authentic Hindu Yogi has written his lie storyor a Western audience. Describing in vivid detail his many years o spiritual

training under a Christlike master, Sri Yukteshwar o Serampore, Bengal

Yogananda has here revealed a ascinating and little-known ace o modern

attain complete sel-mastery are explained with a scientic clarity.

Now, with this reprint, the 1946 edition is again available, with all its inherent

power, just as the Great Master o Yoga rst presented it.

The Rubaiyat o OmarKhayyamExplained by Paramhansa Yogananda

Edited by Swami Kriyananda

Omar and other Su poets used popular similes and pictured the ordinary joyso lie so that the worldly man could compare mundane pleasures with the

superior joys experienced in the spiritual lie. To the man who drinks wine in

order to orget, temporarily, the unbearable sorrows and trials o his lie, Omar

oers a delightul alternative: the nectar o divine ecstasy, which leads to divine

enlightenment, thereby obliterating human woe permanently. Surely Omar did

not go through the labor o writing so many exquisite verses merely to inspire

people to escape sorrow by drugging their senses with alcohol!

"Yogananda's spiritually illuminating commentary on the Rubaiyat is a living treasure which

can be read and re-read, or each reading will unveil another truth in the innite mystery o

lie."

The greatness o a great spiritual teacher is only partially revealed by the

work o his own hands. The rest o the story is one he cannot tell or himsel;

its the infuence o his consciousness on those who come in contact with

himwhether or a brie moment or a lietime o spiritual training. This is

the story told here in some two hundred vignettes spanning more than 40

years, revealing Swami Kriyanandas remarkable qualities. Working closely

with Swamiji ever since her arrival at Ananda in 1969, Asha Praver served

as his cook, secretary, and personal assistant, as well as head o Anandas

publications, marketing, and public relations. A gited storyteller and

highly respected teacher in her own right, Asha joins her years o closely

observing Swamiji with many inspiring experiences shared by others.

This book is a must or anyone even remotely interested in spirituality. Kriyananda has been an

ideal disciple o a Great Master.

In this intellectual tour de orce Swami Kriyananda analyzes with deep

including Plato, Copernicus, Machiavelli, Malthus, Adam Smith, Charles

Darwin, Karl Marx, and Sigmund Freud. He studies their conceptions and

misconceptions about the individuals relation to himsel and to society.

He shows where their infuence has proved adverse, then oers deeply

considered, resh alternatives. Kriyananda urges the reader to resist thehypnosis o intellectual authority. Seek the keys to a happy and ullled

I am amazed by this book .Kriyananda examines why certain societies o the past ailed,

Karma and ReincarnationParamhansa Yogananda

ISBN: 978-81-89430-23-8 151 pp. Rs 150

This book oers ascinating answers or lies great mysteries, but, moreimportantly, it tells you how to make the most o every day o the lie youve

been given. As Yogananda explains the operation o karma, death, and

reincarnation, he also shares the deeper purpose o existence or every soul.

Understanding these truths can bring clarity, conidence, and inspiration into

your lie.

Included in the book are such subjects as:

Why do we see a world o suering and inequality?

How should we handle the challenges in our lives?

What happens at death, and ater death? Is there a heaven?

What is the origin and purpose o reincarnation?

These letters are ascinating. . . . they allow us to get a glimpse into the mind o the person

known as Swami Kriyananda. His books are much more impersonal so they dont give the

same insight into his character. The most outstanding act that emerges rom these letters is

his great devotion and dependence on his guru. This is his most endearing trait as well as his

greatest strength, or you eel that a superior orce, which is inallible, is guiding him.

Conversations with

Swami Kriyananda

ISBN 978-81-89430-50-4 461 pp. Rs. 350Swami Kriyananda was oten present when Paramhansa Yogananda spoke pri-

vately with other close disciples, when he received visitors and answered their

questions, and when he was dictating and discussing his important writings.

Paramhansa Yogananda put Swami Kriyananda in charge o the other monks,

and gave him advice or their spiritual development. In all these situations,

Swami Kriyananda recorded the words and guidance o his Guru, preserving

or the ages wisdom that would otherwise have been lost. Here is an intimate

glimpse o lie with Paramhansa Yogananda never beore shared by any other

student.

These conversations include not only the Gurus words, but also the added in-

sight o a direct disciple who has spent nearly 60 years refecting on and prac-

ticing his teachings. Through these conversations Paramhansa Yogananda

comes alive.

There is a clarity in Yoganandas words that transcends our supercial dierences, a purity

that refects the timeless heart o that true spirituality that underlies and unites all o us . . .

Ken Carey,author, Starseed: The Third Millennium

Yogananda reaches out to every person and therein lies his natural and powerul attraction.

He speaks to the deep well o wisdom within and beckons us to our highest calling.

This proound commentary gives scriptural authority to the ecumenical

hopes o our times.

Parallel passages rom the Judeo-Christian Bible and the Bhagavad-Gita

o India reveal a single unied teaching. East meets West and theological

barriers tumble. Two Scriptures become one Truth.

Concepts such as reincarnation and karma are explained in the words o

Jesus, salvation through grace and the "only son o God" are described

in the Bhagavad-Gita.

Economic Collapse

Yogananda taught that the true state o reality is center everywhere,

circumerence nowhere. Every human being is, in actual act, the center

o the universe. The more he gathers his own orces inward, unto himsel,

not allowing himsel to be swept helplessly down the river o lie

like a pebble, the more he can control his own destiny.

A God-centered lie is the strongest guarantee o continued coherence and

security. Most important o all will be a change o attitude: rom taking to sel-

giving; rom greed to kindly sympathy and practical, personal help.

About Anand SanghaThe path o Sel-RealisationParamhansa Yogananda (1893-

1952)

In 1920 Yogananda was sent by his guru to

America with this admonition: The West is highin material attainments, but lacking in spiritual

understanding. It is Gods will that you play a

role in teaching mankind the value o balancing

the material with an inner, spiritual lie.

The rst Indian yoga master to permanently

reside in the West, he carried his nonsectarian

message across the country to enthusiastic

audiences that lled Americas largest halls.

Hundreds o thousands came to see the yogi

rom India. He continued to lecture and write up

to his Mahasamadhi in 1952.Although Yoganandas initial impact was truly

impressive, his lasting impact has been greater

still. His Autobiography o a Yogi helped launch

a spiritual revolution in the West. It is one o

the last centurys most infuential books. More

than one hundred years ater his birth, this

great master remains one o the worlds most

venerated proponents o Indias ancient spiritual

traditions.

Swami KriyanandaSwami Kriyananda became Yoganandas disciple

at the age o 22, spent the last three and a hal

years o his Gurus lie with him, and has served

him some 60 years. Yogananda entrusted

Swamiji with two lie missions: onewriting,

editing, and lecturing; the otherounding

world brotherhood colonies. He went

on to become a vice-president o

Sel-Realization Fellowship (SRF),

the spiritual organization Yogananda

ounded. Ater leaving SRF, he

established Ananda Village, the

rst World Brotherhood Colony.

Prolic author, accomplished

composer, playwright, and

artist, and world-renowned

spiritual teacher, Swami

Kriyananda reers to

himsel simply as a

humble disciple o

the great God-realised

master, ParamhansaYogananda.

Yoganandas

Vision

o World

Brotherhood ColoniesYogananda envisioned these colonies many

years beore the community movement began

in America. In his Autobiography o a Yogi

he exclaimed, An urgent need on this war-

torn earth is the ounding, on a spiritual basis,

o numerous world brotherhood colonies.

(Note: these words were edited out o his

autobiography in the late 1950s.) He continued

to speak enthusiastically o this dream up to

the time o his passing. The Ananda network

o colonies is a ulllment o Yoganandas long-time dream. These are communities where

seekers gather together to develop spiritually

in a supportive environment and to live an

integrated, God-ocused lie.

Ananda Worldwide includes six World

Brotherhood Colonies in America and one in

Assisi, Italy. Members practice Yoganandas

techniques o meditation and aspire to apply

his teachings to all acets o lie: business,

schools, relationships, healing, and much more.

Ananda is recognized as perhaps the most

successul network o spiritual communities inthe world.

Ananda Sangha India

Oering his remaining years to urther

Yoganandajis message o Sel-realization and

Kriya Yoga in his homeland, Swami Kriyananda

came to India in 2003. Soon he began a

TV show, "A Way to Awakening", reaching

millions daily. Noting the need or applying

dharmic principles to Indias rising economicopportunities, he wrote a course, Material

Success Through Yoga Principles, or individual

or group study and corporate seminars.

As Swamiji encourages Ananda communities

to develop economic means o support

compatible with spiritual ocus, devotees

soon launched the rst Indian enterprise

The Wishing Tree boutique in Gurgaons

Metropolitan Mall, carrying spiritual books,

music, and yoga and meditation aids. Other

Indian enterprises include Ananda Energy

Technologies, developing low-cost energy or

India and Harmony at Work, bringing Material

Success Through Yoga Principles into work

relationships.

Our main work in India, however, is the same

as elsewhere: presenting the teachings o

Sel-realisation through classes, satsangs, and

meditation, including introductory weekend

meditation and Kriya Yoga instruction.

Advanced students can prepare or regularly

given Kriya Yoga initiation. Our Web site, www.

anandaindia.org, has details about our activities

plus inspirational readings and recorded talks

by Kriyanandaji and other Ananda acharyas.

Ananda Indias Future Vision

Besides cooperative communities, Swami

Kriyananda plans a universal Sel-realization

temple dedicated to Paramhansa Yogananda.

He also envisions schools and a university level

institute to train teachers in Anandas proven

Education or Lie methods; a hospice or theelderly; and an orphanage. Mens and womens

monasteries are being established. Swamiji

invites all inspired by these goals and ideals to

join any aspect o this divine service.
