my favourite daily prayer book EVER

I first found this book in an antique shop, and fell in love with it - someone had clearly read it daily with incense burning and as i opened the pages the sweet fresh fragrance took me right into the meditative state. And Swami P. has such a way of expressing the thoughts and prayers and inspirations, well, it speaks directly to me. There are ideas that are familiar to 12 step principles, which makes sense as the book was first published in 1927, and the Swami was in part of the zeitgeist out of which came the first 12 step program. There's a strong element of the prayers and daily thoughts about connecting to the source (of the spirit) and being a clear channel, which takes me back to my favourite prayer, the prayer of St Francis. I've found this a fantastic book for starting my day and opening up my spirit and heart, as best i can under the conditions of the day. Although I am not a hindu (or christian), this text is perfect; and it doesnt insist (to me at least) on a dogma, and i seem to be able to take in what i need and leave the rest without feeling i'll be 'damned'! :)
