Description
Briefly, The Path is the story of one man's search for God through The Path of Yoga. It tells how American-born Donald Walters becomes universally-born Swami Kriyananda.
At the same time, it serves as a practical manual of instruction for others in search of God-realization, no matter what tradition or Path they follow.
As an exceptionally lucid explanation of yogic philosophy, The Path will also be a valuable resource for those intellectually curious, but not consciously committed to spiritual growth.
