90/=AWAKEN TO SUPERCONSCIOUSNESS (How to Use Meditation for Inner Peace, Intuitive Guidance, and Greater Awareness) By Swami Kriyananda
Pramhansa Yogananda
Introduction :- I began meditating nearly fifty years ago, in 1948. Since then I haven’t, to the best of my recollection, missed a single day of practice. No stern-minded self-discipline was needed to keep me regular. Meditation is simply the most meaningful activity in my life—indeed, the most meaningful activity I can imagine. I seriously wonder how people live without it. Meditation gives meaning to everything one does. As India’s beat-known scripture, the Bhagavad Gita, states, “To the peaceless person, how is happiness possible?” Inner peace is like lubricating oil: It enables the machinery of our lives to function smoothly. Without mental peace, our emotions, and the various demands placed upon us in our lives, grind together and inner stress, leading eventually to some kind of physical or nervous breakdown. Psychometric studies have shown that meditation produces a healthy ego, that it expands a person’s world vies and enables people to cope better with the stresses of life. Meditators, in addition, have shown significant gains in overcoming depression, neurotic, and feelings of social inadequacy. Meditation develops concentration, so essential for success in every activity. Often I have found, by meditation-induced concentration, that I can accomplish in an afternoon others have required days or even weeks to complete. In three days, some years ago, I wrote melodies for eighteen of Shakespeare’s lyrics; in a single day, more recently, twenty-one of the thirty-three melodies for my oratorio, Christ Lives, which has had hundreds of performances in America and in Europe. In one day, recently, I wrote thirty-one melodies for an audiotape of my mini-book Secrets of Happiness; and in one day also, my entire book Do It NOW!, which has a different saying for every day of the year. (I did need a month, later, to edit the book for publication.) Before taking up meditation, I would sometime stare at a page for days before I could write down a single word. Even then, I doubted whether what I’d written was what I really wanted to say. Inspiration, which many highly creative people consider out of their hands, can be summoned at will by one-pointed concentration, and by magnetizing the flow of thoughts and ideas in meditation.Physical fatigue can be banished also, by putting ourselves in tune with inner abundance, flowing to us from infinity. The deeper this attunement, through meditation, the greater the abundance we experience in every aspect of our lives. It was from a great master of yoga, Paramhansa Yogananda, that I learned the art and science of meditation. I read his Autobiography of a yogi* in 1948, and was so moved by it that I took the next bus from New York City to Los Angeles, where he had his headquarters. The day I met him, he accepted me as a disciple, and I lived with him as a monk for the remaining three and a half years of his life. I have been his disciple ever since. The path of yoga that he taught was not that of the physical postures of hatha yoga, but the ancient meditative path of raja yoga. Of raja yoga, the highest teachnique, mentioned in several places in his autobiography, is kriya yoga. This present volume is based on the ancient raja yoga traditions and on his teachings. It serves as a preparation also for kriya yoga initiation. My own spiritual name, by which I am known in many spiritual circles, is Kriyananda, meaning “divine bliss though kriya yoga. The teaching of raja yoga are the best guide to meditation that I know. They are completely non-sectarian, and can be practiced with equal effectiveness by anyone regardless of that person’s religious affiliation or lack of affiliation. The goal of these teachings is super conscious realization: the realization of who and what you are in your highest, spiritual reality. It is, as you can see, a very personal goal for each seeker. I have therefore tried to explain it in a spirit of humble respect for your own deepest spiritual needs.

350/=God Alone the Life & Letters of a Saint (Sri Gyanamata A Disciple of Sri Sri Paramahanasa Yogananda)
Pramhansa Yogananda
“She is of God, & God is with ber.”—Sri sri Paramahansa Yoganaanda “God Alone” was the motto & lifelong ideal of Sri Gyanamata, one of the most spiritually advanced disciples of Paramahansa Yogananda. After her passing, he said, “A great saint has gone away…. But she has left spiritual footprints here forever.” Her letters (over a hundred of which appear in this book) reflect the luminous wisdom & pure insight of one who has truly lived for God alone. Whether writing on the ways of realizing God’s presence or the right attitude toward spiritual discipline, the tests of faith or the tests of physical suffering, her words reveal the essential truth or lesson in each circumstance. To read her letters is to experience something of that clarity of vision, that unity of heart & intellect, which is known to all those who possess true wisdom but which few have put into words so compellingly. In addition to Gyanamata’s letters, God Alone contains a detailed account of her life; letters written to her from Paramahansa Yogananda & others who knew her; excerpts from her personal diary; & numerous photographs. An inspiring portrait of an illumined saint of modern times, it is also a legacy of her invaluable counsel—“spiritual footprints” left by her for all who seek to know the meaning of life & the reality of God’s love.

Pramhansa Yogananda
“Why a biography of Paramhansa Yogananda, when he himself weote a world-famous account of his own life in the book, Autobiography of a Yogi? The answer is quite simply, that he wrote his book in a spirit of such humility that the reader could only intuit the author’s spiritual greatness from his perfect attitude toward every life situation.” This book will thrill the millions of readers of Yogananda’s autobiography with scores of new stories from Yogananda’s life—some charmingly human, some deeply inspiring, & many recounting miracles equal to those of the Bible. These stories are told from first-hand experience, & bring the Master alive unlike any other book ever written about him. Now, Swami Kriyananda brilliantly puts to rest many misconceptions about his great guru, & reveals Yogananda’s many-sided greatness. The author’s profound grasp of the purpose of Yogananda’s life, his inner nature, & his plans for the future are revelatory & sublime. Included is an nisider’s portrait of the great teacher’s last vears. More than a factual biography, this book also outlines the great manter’s key teachings. Feel the power of Paramhansa Yogananda’s divine consciousness & his impact on the world as presented with clarity & love by one of his few remaining direct disciples. Introduction :- Why a biography of Paramhansa Yogananda, when he himself wrote a world-famous account of him own life in the book, Autobiography of a yogi? The answer is quite, that his book in a spirit of such humility that the reader could only intuit the author’s spiritual greatness from his perfect attitude toward every life situation. I myself read Autobiography of a Yogi in 1948, & was so overwhelmed by that perfection that I took the next bus across the country: New York to Los Angeles. I had already been seeking God almost desperately. The first words I addressed to Yogananda when we were, “I want to be your disciple.” He accepted me at that very meeting, & I was blessed to live with him as a close disciple for the last three & a half years of his life. Will this book be a hagiography (the biography of a saint, often expressed in idealizing or idolizing terms)? That depends. I will spare no pains to share with you the very real greatness the I beheld in my guru. But if, to you hagiography implies a work of fulsome praise, filled with glowing adjectives & numerous legends that might more properly be assigned to the category of myth, then this work will definitely not be such. I will share with you what I know, I heard from the Master’s own lips (yes, he was indeed a spiritual master, & he himself would never use that word lightly), what I myself experienced, & what I sincerely believe because I heard it from others who were close to him, & whose words were, in my opinion, believable.

295/=Visits to Saints India By Swami Kriananda
Pramhansa Yogananda
Introduction :- This is the story of a spiritual journey—in most ways, a deeply personal pilgrimage. Yet it has become a journey and a pilgrimage also for others too who may at truth-seekers today. For them, and for others too who may at least have wondered about the magical lure of India, this account of my recent experiences may help to inspire and instruct—and, yes, perhaps also to soften an element of shock that awaits many Westerners on their first exposure to that ancient, incredibly complex civilization. I don’t believe anyone can really understand a nation, or of that matter another human being, unless his understanding is rooted in love. And even at that I doubt that his insights will be worth sharing unless they are based on a familiarity of several years—or, failing in that, on an acquaintance of less than one week. Does this last alternative sound flippant? First impressions often do penctrate straight to the heart of things. And even if later they out to have been mistaken, they usually manage at least to remain interesting. Thirteen years ago, on the strength of a single day spent in Galilee, I got an article accepted by the Jerusalem Post. Had I remained there a year, I wonder if I would have found as much to say. Destiny beckoned me to Inida almost from the first. I had been with him less than six months when, one day, looking at me with a quier, he said, “I have plans for you.” I knew at onec that he was thinking of sending me to India, and at first I was overjoyed. Then suddenly the realization struck me that this would mean leaving him. Him was my India! To me, always, the two have remained inextricably one. To my relief I then learned that he too was planning to go. For three years in a row, out of compassion for his many devotees in Inida, he tried to make the journey. But it was not to be, and I see now, from quiet hints he dropped, that he had always known it. As he often did, he was only directing our future thoughts—bending a few twigs to help the branches to grow the way he wanted them to. The last year that we planned to go was 1952, the year he left his body. But the naxt six years I continued to serve in Self-Realiztion Fellowship, the international organization which he had founded, and to wait for the opportunity, always expected, to visit Inida.
