Description
A century after the birth of Paramahansa Yogananda, he has come to be recognized as one of the preeminent spiritual figures of our time the influence of his life and work continues to grow. Many of the religious and philosophical concepts and methods he introduced decades ago are now finding expression in education, psychology, business, medicine, and other spheres of endeavor - contributing in far-reaching ways to a more integrated, humane, and spiritual vision of human life.
The fact that Paramahansa Yoganandaji's teachings are being interpreted and creatively applied in many different fields and by exponents of diverse philosophical and metaphysical movements, points not only to the great practical utility o what he taught, but also to the need for some means of ensuring that the spiritual legacy he left not be diluted, fragmented or distorted with the passing of time.
This book was first published for an international audience. Minor adaptation have been made for this Indian edition. These talks were delivered before audiences in America, for whom paramahansa often translated Sanskrit words and Indian philosophical concepts into terms and examples familiar to the West. An understanding of this will enhance the reader's appreciation of Paramahansaji's message and its unique universality.
