Paramahamsa Prajnanananda
Mention the word “yoga” to someone and images of flexible bodies will most likely flash in their minds. But is that what yoga really is? In this marvelous book based on the teachings of Swami Swatmarama Yogindra, the fifteenth century author of the Hatha Yoga Pradipika, a classical text on yoga, we learn that a yogi is someone who has mastered the art of living. We discover that “yoga” is a small word for an immense state of being. How can we attain this state? In his commentary on Swami Swatmarama Yogindra’s work, Kriya Yoga master Paramahamsa Prajnananandaji explains that we can do this through the sincere practice of detachment from weaknesses and attachment to good qualities. This book is a treasure for those seeking a way to bring practical spirituality into daily life. By following the great sage’s straightforward instructions, success on the spiritual path is surely within our reach. This simple, concise, and practical manual on yoga provides guidance and inspiration, and Paramahamsaji presents it in a way that is insightful and relevant.

Paramahamsa Prajnanananda
What is death? Few in this world can answer with authority. Starting in childhood we consider death a terror, a fearful and foreboding sword that can sever us from all we love. Is it possible that our assumptions are wrong? Perhaps death is our friend, not our enemy. Instead of hiding or running from death, Paramahamsa Prajnanananda explains how we can gracefully dance with death. With incomparable insight, the God-realized master helps us see that both birth and death are joyful celebrations, and that death is not an end, just a footstep on the ultimate journey. Undoubtedly, Dancing with Death will empower us to take that step fearlessly. „In this dance of life and death we all should learn how to dance to bring joy to both living and dying.“

Paramahamsa Prajnanananda
Swami Satyananda Giri walked gently on the Earth while he was here; yet his footprints remain deeply etched in the hearts of all who knew and loved him. As a young man, he was carefully molded by the powerful hands of his incomparable Master, Swami Shriyukteshwarji, who understood that he, along with his childhood friend Paramahamsa Yogananda (author of Autobiography of a Yogi), would play an integral role in the spiritual evolution of humankind. Described by many as an „integration of Buddha and Shri Adi Shankara,“ Swami Satyanandaji’s calm, detached manner and deep inner beauty attracted the company of such renowned beings as Mahatma Gandhi and Ramana Maharshi. No doubt as you read Paramahamsa Prajnanananda’s touching tribute to this great yogi, you too will soon discover that he has left his footprints in your heart.

This world has evolved in the hands of the marvelous men and women who have realized the Truth, lived it, and expounded it. One such person is Shri Adi Shankara, who centuries ago roamed the length and breadth of his beloved motherland, India. With a group of sincere devotees he propagated the message of Advaita Vedanta, the belief that the atman (the soul) and God are one. Although Acharya Shankara’s life on Earth was brief, his spiritual impact is enduring and unfathomable. A Rosary of Questions and Answers: the Prashnottari of Acharya Shankara is a series of fundamental questions about the nature and reality of life, questions that were posed to the master by some of his most devout devotees. Times have changed; the world has changed, but the basic problems that plague every individual have remained the same. Given the uncertain and chaotic nature of our modern world, we must reflect upon these questions and answers so that we can understand the true purpose of our existence. To enhance a seeker’s understanding, the revered Kriya Yoga master, Paramahamsa Prajnanananda, offers his enlightening and thought-provoking commentary in this spiritual masterpiece. His commentary penetrates the essence of Acharya Shankara’s teachings, revealing deep, subtle undertones that escape the ordinary human mind. His insight and compassionate approach towards the human condition strike the heart and soul of a reader, lifting the veil of limited understanding to expose a deeper reality.

Shri Shri Bijoy Krishna Chattopadhyaya
Spiritual practice is an inward journey. A fathomless mine of spiritual wealth lies within the hearts of human beings. Those who worship Truth value what is within and what is without. The endeavor to reconcile the Spirit within and the matter without is a seeker’s perennial effort. Ingrained impressions are the greatest impediment to spiritual progress. Mankind is drawn into a dilemma believing that prana (life force) is the only ingredient of eternal creation. Matter and prana are two products of atma (consciousness absolute). The perception of non-Self is the only human sin. It hides Truth from us. Life after life, through the ages, we live in the world of the dead, deprived of eternal joy and beautiful Truth. Ritambhara (The Philosophy of Living in Truth) by Acharya Bijoy Krishna is the harvest of the deepest spiritual practice. This book is a must for seekers of Truth. Using the logic of science, Acharya has delved deep and ripped open the mystery that shrouds Truth. Ritambhara is the fundamental science of spirituality. Truth is realized not by dogma or bigotry, but by logic and a scientific approach. „The Oneness of existence“ is the conclusion in the Upanishads. By the science of centripetal and centrifugal evolution, the Oneness enjoys His divine play.

Swami Satyananda Giri was the childhood companion of Paramahamsa Yogananda (author of Autobiography of a Yogi). This book is a brief reflection of the friendship, love, and oneness of these two beautiful souls. Their childhood, youth, adolescence, and adulthood were spent in such close intimacy that reminiscence of only one without the other seems impossible.

Paramahamsa Hariharananda was a wonderful singer whose melodious voice enraptured the listeners. He sang the Bhagavad Gita, the Upanishads, poems by Tagore, mystical songs by the saint Kabir and by the great poet Mirabai, he sang passages from the teachings of Lahiri Mahasaya and his own works.

“Kriya Yoga is a scientific technique. It is the easiest, quickest, simplest technique for God-realization.” These were the heartfelt words of Paramahamsa Hariharanandaji, the renowned Kriya Yoga master who tested and proved the effectiveness of this transformational technique for himself. He devoted his life to tirelessly propagating the message of Kriya Yoga for the advancement of a disillusioned humanity. Hidden in the annals of time for centuries, the ancient practice of Kriya Yoga re-emerged when the mysterious yogi, Babaji Maharaji, initiated Shri Lahiri Mahashaya, a householder, into this sacred path. The deathless master instructed his disciple to initiate others into this God-given technique to help them evolve during this modern age. The beauty of Kriya Yoga is that anyone can practice it regardless of race, age, gender, or religion. Passed down through an unbroken lineage of God-realized masters, the timeless practice of Kriya Yoga is the key to finding lasting peace and happiness while sailing the turbulent seas of this world.

Paramahamsa Hariharananda
Who Am I? From time immemorial, yogis have approached this essential question scientifically through intuition and experiment. The conclusion they reached was that the Creator and creation are one, and human beings can find their origin in this great cosmic play through love, service, and spiritual practice. Compassionate yogis then sought to impart this knowledge of Self for the liberation of all. Paramamahamsa Hariharananda, affectionately known as Baba (father), is such a yogi, teacher, and true master in every sense of the word. While on this earth, instruction with eloquence, kindness, and understanding for the unique challenges facing humanity today, ceaselessly poured forth from his lips and hands. Throughout Paramahamsa Hariharananda’s long life, a great body of work was delivered in formal lectures, talks to disciples, letters, articles, and books to help all true seekers to ‚cross the worldly ocean.‘ These instructions cover all facets of life as he always emphasized ‚all-round development‘ as the objective of spiritual practice. With compassion and objectivity, he helps us to return to our true nature and leads us to the supreme goal of being in God consciousness while living in the world. By compiling these Complete Works, it is our sincere hope that Paramahamsa Hariharananda will continue to enlighten, inspire, and encourage those who search for God to discover that, ‚I and He are One, and always have been One.‘ The master’s inspiring ten volume set of teachings will be released during the auspicious year of his centenary.

Paramahamsa Hariharananda
Among all the different spiritual practices, the most ancient and effective one is the science of Kriya Yoga. The ancient scriptures like the Vedas, Puranas, Yoga Sutra of Patanjali, and other classical spiritual texts sing the glory of Kriya Yoga. It is a very simple, effective, non-sectarian, and dynamic meditation technique, which is also the essence of all religions. The essence of Kriya Yoga is nothing but loving one’s own breath as the power of the Divine and loving all living beings who breathe. Breath is life and the door to emotional turmoil or peace and love. It is why the masters emphasized the path of yoga and meditation as the means to have mastery over breath. Paramahamsa Hariharananda’s teachings are a timeless treasure and a source of inspiration for sincere seekers. His simple and humble lifestyle and easy accessibility kindled the light of love and compassion in the hearts of many. Some of his practical spiritual teachings are compiled in the Dimensions of Kriya Yoga, which contains fifteen topics on Kriya Yoga. His teachings are both direct and heart touching.
Kriya Yoga leads to an expansion of the heart and emancipation of life, which in turn beautifies one’s own life and opens the door to peace in one’s personal, family, and social life. Undoubtedly, the modern world needs it due to its effectiveness.

The roots of Hinduism are venerable, ancient, and enduring. Even though it is the world’s oldest religion, it is still one of the largest. This is an irrefutable testament to the eternal Truth it represents. Nevertheless, throughout history the ritualistic practices and deity worship of the Hindu religion have been widely misunderstood by non-Hindus as well as its own worshippers. For the most part, the hidden meaning behind the practices has been forgotten; their true intent remains a mystery. Unfortunately, when the worship of any religion lacks insight and understanding, when it becomes mechanical rather than purposeful, its power to help seekers transcend the mundane is diminished. Religious practices are more effective when devotees acquire the ability to penetrate the surface. The Significance of Hindu Worship, written by the eminent Kriya Yoga Master Paramahamsa Hariharananda, is a fascinating exploration of the inner meaning of some of Hinduism’s most significant rituals and practices. This easily understood, enlightening book eliminates many misconceptions regarding the different aspects of Hindu worship, revealing its true, hidden beauty. Through his profound wisdom, Paramahamsaji illuminates the remarkable essence of Hindu worship and sets every reader on a path to greater understanding and respect for one of the world’s most important religions.

Among India’s most notable spiritual personalities perhaps no one has captured the hearts and imaginations of seekers as fondly as the incomparable Devarshi Narada. Stories of his illustrious life and teachings can be found as far back as the ancient Vedas, as well as in many later spiritual texts. Those familiar with this great being know that his contribution to human evolution is incomprehensible. Even today the mere mention of his name creates waves of joy in the hearts of those seeking union with God through bhakti, the path of devotion and love. As we read the many accounts of the sage’s life, we find that he could be just as vulnerable as we are. At other times he was a mystical, magical time traveler who navigated through dimensions to deliver messages between earth and heaven. Many stories depict him as a cosmic trickster who “stirred the pot” in others’ lives to teach them important life lessons.

Is ego your friend and well-wisher? Or is it your adversary and the source of your suffering? Is it mature, poised, and loving, or childish, selfish, and unruly? What is this ego you call “me”? How would you describe it, and is it who you really are? While living in this world, we have many duties, but nothing is as important as mastering the ego. In Understanding Ego, Paramahamsa Prajnanananda helps us unlock the mystery of the ego. He reveals how we can overcome our weaknesses and unleash our unlimited divine potential. By understanding the nature of ego, we can gain the wisdom and confidence needed to remove the painful and unsightly thorns from the inner rose of our hearts. We are meant to be ever-blossoming flowers that bring beauty and joy to every living being in this world.

The secret of immortality lies within the simple and loving words of the Lord’s Prayer. The deepest truths are often cloaked with a veil of simple ideas and words. Who can fathom the depth of the humble words “Your kingdom come, Your will be done on earth as it is in heaven”? More than two millennia ago a disciple asked Lord Jesus how to pray. He responded with the words that are now known as the Lord’s Prayer. One can imagine that Jesus knew this beautiful prayer would not be for only a select few, but would endure for centuries, to be repeated by countless worshippers and seekers, to become one of the most beloved prayers of all times. Paramahamsa Prajnananandaji’s commentary on the Lord’s Prayer is thought provoking and unique. His deep love for Jesus ignites the flame of love in our hearts. His profound understanding of the Truth reveals the prayer’s underlying spiritual meaning. The reader will undoubtedly quickly discover that beyond the surface of the prayer’s words lies divine treasure. Paramahamsaji helps us see that prayer is much more than reciting beautiful or loving words. He tells us that as seekers on the path we must bring those words to life in our thoughts, words, and actions.

“What is started by me has to be completed by him.” These words were used by the omniscient guru Paramahamsa Hariharananda regarding his young disciple, long before he made him a monk, years before he was designated as his chosen spiritual successor. Many years ago a young spiritual aspirant known as Triloki Dash began an apprenticeship with Paramahamsa Hariharananda, the eminent Kriya Yoga master. These two exceptional beings gave their utmost to each other; ultimately, they would both guide others along the path of realization. This book is filled with Paramahamsa Prajnanananda’s private memories of his life under the guidance of his beloved Gurudev. He shares with us the world of his early youth and training. We glimpse his journey as a seeker. We hear the stories about his life-changing transformation. We enjoy a rare, candid view into the life of a disciple who achieved spiritual realization by obediently following his teacher’s footsteps, and who was able to reach his true potential. The best way to master a skill is to learn from one who has already mastered it. Paramahamsa Prajnananandaji was the exceptional apprentice who became a master and his master’s successor. The new expanded edition of this much-loved book offers stories and insights not previously included. It will motivate and inspire pilgrims on the spiritual path.

Have you noticed that living in a state of anger has become the norm for modern day human beings? One might say the disease of anger has reached epidemic proportions, infecting every facet of society. One can almost sense the embers silently smoldering just below the mind’s surface, in oneself and others, ready to flare up at the slightest provocation — a rude driver, an unwelcome comment, a thwarted desire, a difference in belief or opinion, a challenging relationship, a lack of patience. And these are but a few examples of anger’s fuel. Anger is fire. As it spreads, it destroys families, friendships, societies, and everyone’s peace of mind. It turns our hearts into a barren wasteland consuming rational thought and feeling. In this timely and essential book, Freedom from Anger, Paramahamsa Prajnanananda enlightens us on the origin and effects of anger and provides us with practical steps to master it. No doubt, we must understand our foe to be victorious. Freedom from anger is a giant step toward freedom from suffering. This freedom can transform a barren wasteland into a lush, peaceful paradise.
How can we deal with such a formidable foe?
