The Road Ahead is an exploration of the Paramhansa Yogananda's predictions about the future of our planet. Yogananda's initial impact on Western culture was truly impressive. His lasting spiritual legacy has been even greater. His Autobiography of a Yogi, first published in 1946, helped launch a spiritual revolution in the West. Translated into more than fifty languages, it remains a best-selling spiritual classic to this day.

Originally published by Swami Kriyananda in 1973, the book discusses what Yogananda's predictions could mean in our lives and how we can best approach the challenges that face us. While Yogananda's predictions are sometimes dire, The Road Ahead ultimately looks forward with expansive solutions to whatever upheavals this world brings. This re-release has a new foreword written by Nayaswami Jyotish and Nayaswami Devi, the global leaders of Ananda Sangha Worldwide.

This is an unparalleled firsthand account of Paramhansa Yogananda and his teachings, written by one of his closest students. Yogananda is one of the world's most widely known and universally respected spiritual masters. His Autobiography of a Yogi has helped stimulate a spiritual awakening in the West and a spiritual renaissance in his native land of India.

More than half a century ago, in a hilltop ashram in Los Angeles, California, an American disciple sat at the feet of his Master, faithfully recording his words as his teacher had asked him to do. Paramhansa Yogananda knew this disciple would carry his message to people everywhere.

Kriyananda was often present when Yogananda spoke privately with other close disciples; when he received visitors and answered their questions; when he was dictating and discussing his important writings. Yogananda put Kriyananda in charge of the other monks, and gave him advice for their spiritual development. In all these situations, Kriyananda recorded the words and guidance of Yogananda, preserving for the ages wisdom that would otherwise have been lost, and giving us an intimate glimpse of life with Yogananda never before shared by any other student.

These Conversations include not only Yogananda's words as he first spoke them, but also the added insight of an intimate disciple who has spent more than 50 years reflecting on and practicing the teachings of Yogananda. Through these Conversations, Yogananda comes alive. Time and space dissolve. We sit at the feet of the Master, listen to his words, receive his wisdom, delight in his humor, and are transformed by his love.

Are you satisfied with your life as it is? Do you want to keep pushing forward, armed only with grit and determination? Or would you like to learn how to align your will with the power of the universe?

This book can transform your life at its core. This is the opportunity that stands before you now. Material Success through Yoga Principles is in a sense, an autobiography of perseverance and loyalty to principle until success is achieved. Swami Kriyananda's own life is proof that these principles work. And the successful lives of thousands he has influenced show that these principles can be of benefit to anyone who learns and uses them.

Many people, Paramhansa Yogananda said, fail to succeed in life for lack of what he called spiritual adventurousness. Successful people are those who have the imagination, and the courage, to embrace new ways of doing things, even if others scoff, or turn away.

Paramhansa Yogananda was sent to the West by Jesus Christ himself to restore the original Christian teachings among his followers. Revelations of Christ clarifies the core of Jesus' basic message, that one's true identity is not that of a sinner but a child of God indwelt by His divine presence.

For years, our faith has been severely shaken by a growing series of attacks, including: the breakdown of church authority, the repeated discovery of ancient texts that supposedly contradict long-held beliefs, and the sometimes outlandish historical analyses of Scripture by academics.

Together, these forces have helped create a spiritual vacuum filled with substantial confusion and uncertainty about the true teachings and meanings of Christ's life. The rising tide of alternative beliefs proves that now, more than ever, people are yearning for a clear-minded, convincing, yet uplifting understanding of the life and teachings of Jesus Christ.

Revelations of Christ, presenting the teachings of Christ from the experience and perspective of Paramhansa Yogananda, one of the greatest spiritual masters of the twentieth century, offers the fresh perspective on Christ's teachings for which the world has been waiting. This book gives us an opportunity to understand and apply the Scriptures in the most reliable way: by studying under those saints who have communed directly, in deep ecstasy, with Christ and God.

Here is a revolutionary approach to finding inner peace and expansive joy, presented by one of the greatest exponents of yoga and meditation of our time.

We have all experienced our subconscious minds-in our sleep, dreams, and through our unconscious thoughts and emotions. And, of course, we're all intimately familiar with the normal conscious state of awareness from which we go about our daily lives. But there is a third, less well-known state of awareness: the superconscious. The hidden mechanism at work behind intuition, spiritual and physical healing, successful problem solving, and finding deep, lasting joy, superconscious awareness is the missed link to living richer, more meaningful lives. Though many of us have experienced fleeting moments of raised consciousness and enlightenment, few know how to purposely enter such an exalted state.

Through meditation, chanting, affirmation, and prayer, Swami Kriyananda teaches us how to reach this state successfully and regularly and how to maximize its beneficial effects. In Awaken to Superconsciousness, Kriyananda shares his knowledge of the ancient yoga tradition, details how to attain inner peace, and provides inspiring meditative exercises. Awaken to Superconsciousness provides a comprehensive, easy-to-understand program to help us tap into our wellspring of creativity, unlock intuitive guidance, and hear the silent voice of our soul.

If you are looking to: Find Inner Peace; Enhance Your Creativity; Unlock Intuitive Guidance; Feel Deep and Lasting Joy; Improve Your Concentration; Expand Your Awareness; Transcend Your Limitations; Commune with the Divine, then you must read Awaken to Superconsciousness

A report of a fascinating find in India: an ancient manuscript, large enough to fill a library, containing prophecies concerning the lives of millions of individuals yet unborn.

A careful and unbiased account, this booklet might unsettle the confidence of a few readers in the absoluteness of modern understanding of reality.

The Book of Bhrigu, its origins hidden in the mists of time, can predict events with uncanny accuracy. Swami Kriyananda explores the origins of this incredible manuscript, including his own adventures with Bhrigu readers in India.

These 52 affirmations and prayers-one for each week of the year-will help you strengthen positive qualities in yourself: good health, will power, forgiveness, security, happiness, and many others.

Health care professionals know that our thoughts influence our physical, mental, and emotional health, for better or for worse. We routinely enlist the help of psychologists and medications to overcome our deeply rooted, harmful thoughts. But we also have the power to change our thoughts ourselves, in ways that complement or offer an alternative to these often only marginally effective, and sometimes side-effect laden, treatments.

This inspirational book is the ultimate self-help manual-a powerful tool for personal transformation. Author Swami Kriyananda teaches that negative thoughts exist in the subconscious mind, mentally whispering thousands of times each day, I am afraid, I am tired, I am angry . . . To successfully overcome these thoughts, they must be faced in their own territory.

Affirmation is a proven method of influencing the subconscious mind, and replacing negative thoughts with positive statements of well-being. Each of the affirmations in this book reaches the subconscious in a language it can hear and understand. Where other methods fail, these affirmations are sure to succeed.

Every day we are confronted with difficult problems and thorny situations for which we either don't have enough information to make clear-cut decisions or for which there is no easy intellectual answer. At these moments, we all wish that there was another way to know how to make the right choice. Fortunately, there is another way through using our intuition. More than just a feeling or a guess, true intuition is one of the most important yet often least developed of our human faculties. Often thought of as something vague and undefinable, many people mistakenly assume that intuition cannot be understood and developed. Intuition for Starters explains what true intuition is, where it comes from, the practices and attitudes necessary for developing it, and how to tap into intuitive guidance at will.

Rays of the One Light contains parallel passages from the Bible and the Bhagavad Gita reveal a single unified teaching. East meets West and theological barriers tumble, as two scriptures become one Truth.

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 unified teaching. East meets West and theological barriers tumble. Two scriptures become one Truth.

Concepts such as karma and reincarnation are explained in the words of Jesus; while salvation through grace, and the only son of God, are described in the Bhagavad Gita.

Rays of the One Light is based on the teachings of Paramhansa Yogananda-a great spiritual master from India, and author of the beloved classic, Autobiography of a Yogi.

Ananda Yoga for Higher Awareness was first published by Swami Kriyananda in the 1960s to raise the awareness of yoga practitioners and to offer them a new dimension to their practice: the use of a positive affirmation to go with each pose. This classic yoga guide can be useful for hatha yogis (and especially for those who practice Ananda Yoga^(R)) as a resource for deepening their understanding of the original, spiritual approach to yoga postures, as well as Swami Kriyananda's inspiration in creating the popular branch of hatha yoga known as Ananda Yoga^(R). This book does not offer complete detailed instruction in physical alignment for assuming each pose. If you are seeking alignment instructions for yoga postures, we highly recommend Spiritual Yoga by Gyandev McCord, for which this book is a valuable companion title.

Kriyananda brings the yoga science back to its central focus as an integral part of the meditative science of Raja Yoga. His approach is in the tradition of the ancient hatha yoga and of his own guru, the great Indian master Paramhansa Yogananda, author of the most widely read and respected of all books on yoga, Autobiography of a Yogi.

THIS UNIQUE CLASSIC teaches hatha yoga as it was originally intended: as a way to uplift your consciousness and aid your spiritual development. Kriyananda's inspiring affirmations and clearly written instructions show you how to attune yourself to the consciousness of each pose, so that each yoga posture becomes a doorway to life-affirming attitudes, clarity of understanding, and an increasingly centered and uplifted awareness.

Illustrated with photographs of the postures, this authentic awareness approach adds an important dimension for advanced practitioners, while providing an excellent foundation for beginners.

- Cultivate attitudes of willingness, appreciation, kindness, and joy

Images of Wisdom is poetry with a purpose: to change the way we look at the world.

It opens our eyes to countless examples of truth all around us, which would go unnoticed in the rush of daily life. As we read in the book:

FIRST DEVELOP INNER CLARITY

Too many people are like enthusiastic viewers at an art exhibition, who pass hurriedly from one painting to another, so fearful of missing any, that they miss the messages in all of them!

So stop for a moment, relax, and, as you read this book, experience the art of seeing God in everything.

In this book Swami Kriyananda, called the Father of the Communities Movement, shares the wisdom gained through many decades of study and practice of the principles that make modern communities thrive. Inspired by his guru, Paramhansa Yogananda, and his ideal of world brotherhood colonies, Kriyananda brought these principles to fruition through persistent effort and inspired leadership.

Make your ideals practical, Yogananda advised, and Kriyananda took those words to heart. During his lifetime, Kriyananda (1926-2013) founded nine spiritual communities in the United States, Europe, and India. His network of Ananda communities has been hailed as the most successful in the world.

The Ananda communities were formed on two basic principles - people are more important than things and where there is right action, there is victory. Adherence to these principles is one of the secrets to Ananda's success.

Whether you are interested in communities from a philosophical perspective or from a practical one - and wish to form your own or join with others in doing so - this book will bring you hundreds of helpful insights into the process - how to start a community, how to make it prosper even in difficult times, and how to see it continue on into a bright future.

In The Hindu Way of Awakening, Swami Kriyananda (direct disciple of Paramhansa Yogananda) brings order to the seeming chaos of the vast symbols and imagery one encounters in Hinduism and brings forth the underlying teachings from which these symbols arise.

Hinduism, as it comes across in this book, is a robust, joyful religion, amazingly in step with the most advanced thinking of modern times, in love with life, deeply human as well as humane, delightfully aware of your personal life's needs, for the teaching in this book is no abstraction: It is down-to-earth and pressingly immediate.

Swami Kriyananda's inspired, entertaining, and energetic writing style make this book delightful reading for anyone interested in spirituality and the deeper meanings of religion.

A Breakthrough in the Evolution of Consciousness . . .

In this book, Swami Kriyananda introduces a new approach to the quest for God-realization that speaks to modern seekers. Demystifying the mystical, Kriyananda presents practical techniques, attitudes, and life directions that lead to inner freedom and joy. Whatever your level of spiritual interest or commitment, you will find A Renunciate Order for the New Age a must-read to give you an understanding of where religion is headed in the future. It launches a new era for people everywhere who want to declare their devotion to high, spiritual ideals.

Swami Kriyananda (1926-2013) has been a direct disciple for over sixty years of the great yoga master, Paramhansa Yogananda (author of the classic, Autobiography of a Yogi). He is widely considered one of the foremost experts on meditation, yoga, and spiritual practice, having authored more than 140 books on these subjects.

Kriyananda was the founder of Ananda, an international organization committed to the dissemination of Yogananda's teachings. In 1968 he founded Ananda Cooperative Village in Nevada City, California, the first spiritual community based on Yogananda's vision of world brotherhood colonies. Today Ananda includes eight communities in the U.S., Europe, and India, and more than 140 meditation centers and groups worldwide.

Art as a Hidden Message offers a blueprint for the future of art, and shows how art can be a powerful influence for meaningful existence and positive attitudes in society. With insightful commentary on the great musicians, artists, and creative thinkers of our time, Art as a Hidden Message presents a new approach to the arts, one that views both artistic expression and artistic appreciation as creative communication. Swami Kriyananda shows the importance of seeing oneself and all things as aspects of a greater reality, of seeking to enter into conscious attunement with that reality, and of seeing all things as channels for the expression of that reality.
