The New Path
My Life with Paramhansa Yogananda
Swami Kriyananda
ISBN: 978-81-89430-35-1 565 pp. Rs. 350
Seventy years ago, a young American of thirteen dedicated himself to
search for truth. He at once rejected the values to which he had been
raised : prosperity, security, social acceptance and worldly ambition. But where
lay the answers? He began with science, proceeded to social reform; thence
sought self-transformation through the arts. Each path he tried led to a dead
end. At last he realized that the only force in history that has done any lasting
good is religion.
In a moving chapter of this book he describes how he agonized over the
question, What is God? The answer he received led him at last to
"Autobiography of a Yogi" and thence to its author, Paramhansa
Yogananda, who accepted him as his disciple.

Donny and Bobby, two American boys exploring a forest near a tiny Rumanian
town, discover a science laboratory in ruins. Adjoining the laboratory is a room
with a mysterious tunnel. When the boys come upon a dinosaur that appears to
have died quite recently near the laboratory, they look for an explanation in the
laboratory fles. There they fnd a paper that says, "Time does not go in a straight
line, from past to present to future, as people think. Rather, it proceeds in a circle
around a center in the eternal now..."

Our planet is in an Age of Energy that will afect us for centuries to come. This
fascinating book of essays covers a wide range of societal shifts, including the
growing trend against complexity and a move toward simplicity; an increasing
demand for quality over quantity; a movement away from organized religion
toward personal inner experience; a recognition of the need to understand
others better and universalize our love and more.
Seldom have I read a book like this, a book whose every single word I can agree with; a book
in which every page radiates attention, understanding, and wisdom. Truly Kriyananda is a
great apostle of divine love which, as he declares, is the true essence of religion.

Swami Kriyananda
This book brings clarity to a controversial and little-understood subject.
Kriyananda's concepts of channeling touch everyone who would like to serve as
a channel for higher inspiration. Includes workable, easy-to-use techniques, and
explains persuasively that the highest form of channeling is that which is found
in the lives of great saints.

It also teaches how to develop one's own intuition and wisdom rather than
seeking answers from channeled entities. A fascinating look inside a long-
hidden realm.
"Kriyananda imparts practical advice for working in such a way that you are open to timeless
wisdom while in the conscious statemore believable and easier to follow than many New
Age books."
Kathleen Cain, The Bloomsbury Review
"Kriyananda has really helped to dispel the misconceptions surrounding channeling."
Sri Swami Satchidananda, founder of Yogaville, author of Integral Yoga: The Yoga
Sutras of Patanjali
"I've been channeling for about 20 years. I truly feel this book will be to others as it was to me:
a reminder of what our highest purpose really is."

Education for Life
Preparing Children to Meet the Challenges
Swami Kriyananda
ISBN: 978-81-89430-08-4 303 pp Rs. 250
Education for Life ofers a constructive and brilliant alternative to what
has been called the disaster of modern education. In this book, Swami
Kriyananda traces the problem to modern educations emphasis on
technological competence and rote learning at the expense of spiritual
values, which alone can give higher meaning to life. Based on pioneering
educational work in India in the early years of the Twentieth Century by
Paramhansa Yogananda, the Education for Life system has been tested
and proven for over three decades at Living Wisdom Schools located
throughout the United States. Education for Life provides the basis for the
Yoga Institutes of Living Wisdom in California and in India.
Education for Life has opened up a wider and more stimulating vision of education. It is well
beyond the image of our traditional school systems.

Reader Comments

"It's really inspiring to read a book on astrology with such a loving emphasis on the spiritual side."
"I had been an astrologer for seven years when I frst came across Your Sun Sign as a Spiritual
Guide. It elevated my approach to astrology and strengthened and focused my spiritual search."
"The author's words have a down-to-earth, balanced loving quality that reaches the core of my
being."
Swami Kriyananda's studies embrace Indian as well as Western astrology. He
shows how extraordinarily sophisticated this ancient science is in its careful
delineation of twelve basic categories of human nature. Your Sun Sign as A
Spiritual Guide, however, goes far beyond merely intellectual discussion. Fresh,
humorous, and full of wisdom, it provides a wealth of original insight in a feld
burdened by the thoughtless repetition of carelessly worked-out theories. The
specifc lessons of each sun sign are described with clarity and relevance and a
particular meditation practice is suggested for each.

The Essence of the
Bhagavad Gita
Explained by Paramhansa Yogananda
As remembered by his disciple, Swami Kriyananda
ISBN 978-81-89430-09-2 Hardcover 651pp. Rs. 295
Rarely in a lifetime does a new spiritual classic appear that has the power to
change lives and transform future generations. This is such a book. It shares
the profound insights of Paramhansa Yogananda as remembered by one of
his few remaining direct disciples, Swami Kriyananda.
This revelation of Indias best-loved scripture approaches Sri Krishnas
message from an entirely fresh 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 fnished this workcomprising as it did
well over six hundred pagesin less than two months! To everyone, himself
included, it seemed a miracle. Masters thoughts poured efortlessly into
my mind, Swami Kriyananda related, helping me to fll page after 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
wonderful thing I have ever read!
The Bhagavad Gita (Pocket
Edition)
Paramhansa Yoganandas revelation of Indias best-loved scripture brought an entirely
fresh 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 for 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
framework of history. The characters symbolize various psychological traits and
latent states of consciousness that serve as essential reference points to develop
the story. Each trait or aspect of consciousness plays an important role in the
devotees struggle to rise above worldly delusion and reclaim his true state of union
with God.
Though small in size, this edition of the Gita is pierced through with shafts of light
from a towering spiritual fgureYogananda as a modern-day Arjuna. With this
volume, Indias sacred scripture is at your fngertips for inspiration on your own daily
battleground of life.

Revelations of Christ
Proclaimed by Paramhansa Yogananda
Presented by his disciple Swami Kriyananda
ISBN: 978-81-89430-19-X Hardcover 520 pp Rs. 295
Paramhansa Yoganandas divine missionrevealed by Babajiwas to show
the oneness of all true religions, especially Hinduism and Christianity. He
focused on bringing back original Christianity as taught by Jesus Christ
along with the original yoga teachings of Krishna as presented in the
Bhagavad Gita. Revelations of Christ can be a resource if you share the desire
to further religious unity or are just curious about possible connections
between Hinduism and Christianity, or wish to promote Christian-Hindu
dialogue with friends. It is grounded in the approach of studying the
writings and sayings of saints who have been in direct communion with
Christ and God.
The Hindu Way of Awakening
Its Revelations, Its Symbols
Swami Kriyananda
ISBN: 978-81-89430-12-2 392 pp. Rs. 220
Swami Kriyananda brings order to the vast array of symbols and imagery
in Hinduism and explains the underlying teachings from which these
symbols arise: truths inherent in all religions and their essential purpose,
the direct inner experience of God.
Hinduism is a robust, joyful religion, amazingly in step with the most
advanced thinking of modern times. It is deeply human as well as humane,
delightfully relevant to all of lifes needs. The philosophy in this book is no
abstraction: it is down-to-earth and pressingly immediate.
Swami Kriyananda does a superb job not only in deepening our understanding and appreciation
of the Hindu religion, but of encouraging us to expand our awareness to include an appreciation
of truth in all religions.

Paramhansa Yogananda was the frst Yoga Master of 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 flled the
largest halls of America.
His initial impact was truly impressive. But his lasting infuence is greater still.
This book, frst published in 1946, helped launch and till date continues to
inspire a spiritual revolution.
This is the frst time, that an authentic Hindu Yogi has written his life story
for a Western audience. Describing in vivid detail his many years of spiritual
training under a Christlike master, Sri Yukteshwar of Serampore, Bengal
Yogananda has here revealed a fascinating and little-known face of modern
India. The subtle but defnite laws by which Yogis perform miracles and
attain complete self-mastery are explained with a scientifc clarity.
Now, with this reprint, the 1946 edition is again available, with all its inherent
power, just as the Great Master of Yoga frst presented it.
The Rubaiyat of Omar
Khayyam
Explained by Paramhansa Yogananda
Edited by Swami Kriyananda
Omar and other Suf poets used popular similes and pictured the ordinary joys
of life so that the worldly man could compare mundane pleasures with the
superior joys experienced in the spiritual life. To the man who drinks wine in
order to forget, temporarily, the unbearable sorrows and trials of his life, Omar
ofers a delightful alternative: the nectar of divine ecstasy, which leads to divine
enlightenment, thereby obliterating human woe permanently. Surely Omar did
not go through the labor of 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, for each reading will unveil another truth in the infnite mystery of
life."
Yoga + Joyful Living Magazine
"Yogananda's interpretation of The Rubaiyat is a must-read for all spiritual seekers."

Visits to Saints of India
Swami Kriyananda
ISBN: 978-81-89430-24-5 175 pp. Rs. 150
Chronicling his stays in India from 1958 to 1962 and again in the winter
of 197273, Swami Kriyananda shares inspiration from his visits to many
saints, including Anandamayee Ma, Yogi Ramiah (Sri Rama Yogi), Swami
Muktananda, Swami Narayan, and Sathya Sai Baba.
As a swami steeped in Hindu spiritual heritage but coming from the West,
Swamiji reveals unique glimpses into Indian society and culture, ashram
living, the devotee-guru relationship, and the daily experience of high
souls. He ofers these insights primarily through letters he wrote while in
India.
His relationship with Anandamayee Ma is especially revealing. Swamiji
writes, I could have the sense of familiarity with her that I never had with
my own Guru, whom I held too much in awe, explaining that he considers
her as his true spiritual mother. Through the pages of this slender but
treasure-flled book, even Indian readers will fnd a closer connection
with the saints and holy ones of their homeland.
A wonderful book for people who want to understand the similarities between the spiritual
teachings of east and west . . . Swami Kriyananda is an inspiring teacher who carries on the
tradition of his guru, Paramhansa Yogananda.

of Devis wife, Hassi. From Bose and others, Devi obtained previously
unpublished stories of Paramhansa Yoganandas generosity, courage, loyalty
to friends and spiritual power.

Whispers from Eternity
Swami Kriyananda
ISBN: 978-81-89430-30-6 266 pp. Rs 250
Many poetic works can inspire, but few, like this one, have the power to
change your life. These verses rank with the greatest mystical poetry of
all time: the works of St. John of the Cross, Rumi, Kabir, Mirabai, and Omar

Swami Kriyananda
As We Have Known Him
Asha Praver
ISBN: 978-81-89430-18-1 464 pp. Rs. 250
The greatness of a great spiritual teacher is only partially revealed by the
work of his own hands. The rest of the story is one he cannot tell for himself;
its the infuence of his consciousness on those who come in contact with
himwhether for a brief moment or a lifetime of 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 of Anandas
publications, marketing, and public relations. A gifted storyteller and
highly respected teacher in her own right, Asha joins her years of closely
observing Swamiji with many inspiring experiences shared by others.
This book is a must for anyone even remotely interested in spirituality. Kriyananda has been an
ideal disciple of a Great Master.
D.R. Kathikeyan, Former Director, Central Bureau of Investigation (India), National

In this intellectual tour de force Swami Kriyananda analyzes with deep
insight the views expressed by many of the great thinkers in the West,

Darwin, Karl Marx, and Sigmund Freud. He studies their conceptions and
misconceptions about the individuals relation to himself and to society.
He shows where their infuence has proved adverse, then ofers deeply
considered, fresh alternatives. Kriyananda urges the reader to resist the
hypnosis of intellectual authority. Seek the keys to a happy and fulflled
life, he says, in personal integrity.
I am amazed by this book .Kriyananda examines why certain societies of the past failed,
and how others in future might succeed. His refections are the most persuasive Ive ever
encountered.

Karma and Reincarnation
Paramhansa Yogananda
ISBN: 978-81-89430-23-8 151 pp. Rs 150
This book offers fascinating answers for lifes great mysteries, but, more
importantly, it tells you how to make the most of every day of the life youve
been given. As Yogananda explains the operation of karma, death, and
reincarnation, he also shares the deeper purpose of existence for every soul.
Understanding these truths can bring clarity, confidence, and inspiration into
your life.
Included in the book are such subjects as:
Why do we see a world of suffering and inequality?
How should we handle the challenges in our lives?
What happens at death, and after death? Is there a heaven?
What is the origin and purpose of reincarnation?
These letters are fascinating. . . . they allow us to get a glimpse into the mind of 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 fact that emerges from these letters is
his great devotion and dependence on his guru. This is his most endearing trait as well as his
greatest strength, for you feel that a superior force, which is infallible, is guiding him.

Swami Kriyananda
This is an extraordinary book of letters written by Swami Kriyananda in
response to questions and inquiries from friends, students, and critics over a
30 year period. It addresses almost any concern a spiritual seeker might have.
Topics for which Swamiji provides spiritual guidance include: how to meditate
deeply; strengthen ones faith; develop divine attunement; accelerate spiritual
progress; overcome negative self-judgment; respond to illness; develop the
right attitude toward money and proft; become a good leader; attract a mate;
understand sexuality; and raise children. In closing his lettersall of them,
not just the ones in this bookSwami Kriyananda customarily signs of with
In divine friendship, thus the title of the book. This is no clich. He feels a
friendship with each individual from having frst felt the universal friendship of
Gods presence in inner silence.
From that center, he sees all people as well as all things as opportunities for
communing with that Presence without.

Conversations with
Swami Kriyananda
ISBN 978-81-89430-50-4 461 pp. Rs. 350
Swami Kriyananda was often 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 of the other monks,
and gave him advice for their spiritual development. In all these situations,
Swami Kriyananda recorded the words and guidance of his Guru, preserving
for the ages wisdom that would otherwise have been lost. Here is an intimate
glimpse of life with Paramhansa Yogananda never before shared by any other
student.
These conversations include not only the Gurus words, but also the added in-
sight of 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 superfcial diferences, a purity
that refects the timeless heart of that true spirituality that underlies and unites all of us . . .
Ken Carey, author, Starseed: The Third Millennium
Yogananda reaches out to every person and therein lies his natural and powerful attraction.
He speaks to the deep well of wisdom within and beckons us to our highest calling.

This profound commentary gives scriptural authority to the ecumenical
hopes of our times.
Parallel passages from the Judeo-Christian Bible and the Bhagavad-Gita
of India reveal a single unifed teaching. East meets West and theological
barriers tumble. Two Scriptures become one Truth.
Concepts such as reincarnation and karma are explained in the words of
Jesus, salvation through grace and the "only son of God" are described
in the Bhagavad-Gita.

Economic Collapse
Yogananda taught that the true state of reality is center everywhere,
circumference nowhere. Every human being is, in actual fact, the center
of the universe. The more he gathers his own forces inward, unto himself,
not allowing himself to be swept helplessly down the river of life
like a pebble, the more he can control his own destiny.
A God-centered life is the strongest guarantee of continued coherence and
security. Most important of all will be a change of attitude: from taking to self-
giving; from greed to kindly sympathy and practical, personal help.

About Anand Sangha
The path of Self-Realisation
Paramhansa Yogananda (1893-
1952)
In 1920 Yogananda was sent by his guru to
America with this admonition: The West is high
in material attainments, but lacking in spiritual
understanding. It is Gods will that you play a
role in teaching mankind the value of balancing
the material with an inner, spiritual life.
The frst Indian yoga master to permanently
reside in the West, he carried his nonsectarian
message across the country to enthusiastic
audiences that flled Americas largest halls.
Hundreds of thousands came to see the yogi
from 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 of a Yogi helped launch
a spiritual revolution in the West. It is one of
the last centurys most infuential books. More
than one hundred years after his birth, this
great master remains one of the worlds most
venerated proponents of Indias ancient spiritual
traditions.
Swami Kriyananda
Swami Kriyananda became Yoganandas disciple
at the age of 22, spent the last three and a half
years of his Gurus life with him, and has served
him some 60 years. Yogananda entrusted
Swamiji with two life missions: onewriting,
editing, and lecturing; the otherfounding
world brotherhood colonies. He went
on to become a vice-president of
Self-Realization Fellowship (SRF),
the spiritual organization Yogananda
founded. After leaving SRF, he
established Ananda Village, the
frst World Brotherhood Colony.
Prolifc author, accomplished
composer, playwright, and
artist, and world-renowned
spiritual teacher, Swami
Kriyananda refers to
himself simply as a
humble disciple of
the great God-realised
master, Paramhansa
Yogananda.
Yoganandas
Vision
of World
Brotherhood Colonies
Yogananda envisioned these colonies many
years before the community movement began
in America. In his Autobiography of a Yogi
he exclaimed, An urgent need on this war-
torn earth is the founding, on a spiritual basis,
of numerous world brotherhood colonies.
(Note: these words were edited out of his
autobiography in the late 1950s.) He continued
to speak enthusiastically of this dream up to
the time of his passing. The Ananda network
of colonies is a fulfllment of Yoganandas long-
time dream. These are communities where
seekers gather together to develop spiritually
27
in a supportive environment and to live an
integrated, God-focused life.
Ananda Worldwide includes six World
Brotherhood Colonies in America and one in
Assisi, Italy. Members practice Yoganandas
techniques of meditation and aspire to apply
his teachings to all facets of life: business,
schools, relationships, healing, and much more.
Ananda is recognized as perhaps the most
successful network of spiritual communities in
the world.
Ananda Sangha India
Ofering his remaining years to further
Yoganandajis message of Self-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 for applying
dharmic principles to Indias rising economic
opportunities, he wrote a course, Material
Success Through Yoga Principles, for individual
or group study and corporate seminars.
As Swamiji encourages Ananda communities
to develop economic means of support
compatible with spiritual focus, devotees
soon launched the frst 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 for
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 of
Self-realisation through classes, satsangs, and
meditation, including introductory weekend
meditation and Kriya Yoga instruction.
Advanced students can prepare for 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 Self-realization
temple dedicated to Paramhansa Yogananda.
He also envisions schools and a university level
institute to train teachers in Anandas proven
Education for Life methods; a hospice for the
elderly; and an orphanage. Mens and womens
monasteries are being established. Swamiji
invites all inspired by these goals and ideals to
join any aspect of this divine service.
