A beautiful presentation of the teachings of raja yoga

A beautiful presentation of Paramhansa Yogananda's teachings. One can feel that they are sitting at the feet of the Master, soaking in the truths passed down through the ages.

Words of Deathless Wisdom

Luckily for us, Swami Kriyananda wrote down in his journals practically everything beautiful and wise that his guru, Paramhansa Yogananda, said to him in private conversation. The Essence of Self-Realization, a compilation of many of these private teachings, gives us an idea of what it was like to speak with an enlightened master on a variety of spiritual topics. Yogananda didn't go in-depth into these things with every disciple. He tried to encourage many to develop a silent, inner attunement. But he foresaw that Kriyananda would share what he learned with many thousands of people, so he blessed him with these pearls of wisdom. This is a book that should be read and mentally digested slowly. Take your time, read a little bit, and meditate on it. At least, that is how I've gotten the most out of it. And there is a great deal here to absorb. Richard Salva--author of Soul Journey from Lincoln to Lindbergh [UNABRIDGED]

A Priceless Gem of Spiritual Wisdom!

This book is a priceless work containing some of the Master's teachings, sayings, and anecdots, which should be on the shelf of every student of Eastern Wisdom, whether or not he is a devotee of Yogananda's lineage.

Words Cannot Describe!

This book, like all things relating to Yogananda, is a priceless gem. What more can I say? Words cannot adequately describe it.

Divine Quotes for meditation

What a wonderful tool this book is for any spiritual seeker. The author has recorded quotes from his great guru, Paramhansa Yogananda, and has presented them in such a way as to bring the reader very close to the consciousness of Yogananda. Each of the twenty chapters focuses on a theme, for instance, "The Lesson of Reincarnation", and covers many aspects with numerous quotes, some of which cover multiple pages. The author must have an amazing memory to be able to produce such volumes of quotes, or a great ability to tune in to the wisdom of his great guru.
