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.

Daily reminder to cultivate peace and introspection

For a Self-Realization Fellowship student, this volume is a wonderful, comforting place to record introspections and inspirations. The subtle, gentle blues and golds of the typefaces are perfectly suited to the Peace-centered inspirationals of Yogananda that grace each page. It is not a large book - and so is unsuited for the stream-of-consciousness or endless detail of events with which some people fill journals. But if you take advantage of the soul-centering advice of Yogananda and take the time to select your own gems of insight for your journaling, you could scarce find a more pleasing abode to house them. I also find these little volumes perfectly suited for taking notes at a Convocation, an ashram visit, or on any occasion that you make for yourself holy. The inspirationals are also quite universal, making this a wonderful gift for anyone awakening to their personal spiritual journey.

An Exception to the Rule

The world is full of such misery. Where can we turn? Which club? Which therapy? Which religion? It seems that we have to do so much, in order to alleviate ourselves from something so constant and simple. Namely, suffering. We need to join clubs. To join religions. To go through initiations. To afford a therapist. The author of this book is my Guru. I give no weight to any other material. I was initiated as his devotee 26 years ago. The president of the organization that he founded, Self-Realization Fellowship, was a direct disciple of his for 21 years while he was living in our prescence. I live near most of their churches. I have talked extensively with their ministers and monks. But Yogananda was and is a well that you can dip your cup freely from and drink as much as you will. One is not seperated from time and space. His family is the world. Credentials and titles do not matter. This book is an example of what he taught.Simplicity and the simple fact that one can reach God on the opposite side of the planet from Self-Realization Fellowship Headquarters and be a garbage collector in an unknown part of the world, if one's love for God is intense enough. I am quite assured that if one read this little book 100 times and followed it's principles devotely, one would probably be a greater saint than anyone who lives near Self-Realization Fellowship headquarters, is a monk or nun of his organization, or those who knew him personally while he was living. He is all of ours. This book may be all you need! Others need more equipment and training, sorry to say. This book is very simplistic. Very simple. If I were stranded on a desert island, and I only had one book, I do believe it would be this one. I have all of Yogananda's lessons and service lectures bounded in my library. As well as all of his books, recordings, and the words of his devotees. And all of the yogic methods that he taught. But if one would take a tiny book such as this, and folow it with ferverous devotion, I have no doubt that eventually such a one would go as fast spititually as anyone anyplace and at anytime. Yes. I do like the book.
