My Relationship with God

by Paramahamsa Prajnanananda

Many of us consider our relationship with God separate from everyday life. Queen Gandhari, the wife of the blind King Dhritarashtra, had a different view. She did not limit her relationship with God; she expanded it. She discovered that God is the essence of every relationship in life. Her relationship with God became her path to finding God. Despite the many hardships she faced, she was joyous on this path. Is there anything more thrilling than experiencing God’s presence within and everywhere?
In this insightful book, Paramahamsa explores our most valuable relationship – our eternal relationship with the Divine. His commentary on the beautiful and heartfelt prayer of Queen Gandhari (found in the Prapanna Gita) awakens us to the significance of expanding our concept of God. The divine relationship is not only uplifting and fulfilling; it is also enlightening.

The Path of Self-Knowledge

by Paramahamsa Prajnanananda

Many of us are fascinated with Self-realization, but few of us work to achieve it. Most of us have no idea what it takes to reach the goal. Nothing is more rewarding than success on the spiritual path, but we approach this path blindly, unprepared for its challenges. The fundamental goal of spiritual practice is to destroy the darkness of ignorance that obscures reality and our true identity. Only one thing can eliminate the darkness: the inner light of knowledge that reveals the truth.
Acharya Shankara, the author of the Atma Bodha and many other treasured spiritual texts, dedicated his short but extraordinary life to helping humankind reach Self-realization. The Atma Bodha is a step-by-step guide that teaches seekers how to walk the path of knowledge and avoid the journey’s countless pitfalls. In this remarkable handbook for all earnest seekers, Paramahamsa Prajnanananda dives deep into the heart of Acharya Shankara’s teachings, seamlessly integrating ancient wisdom with our modern lifestyles.
Only when we begin to understand the reality of life do we begin to live.

The Path to Supreme Blessedness

by Paramahamsa Prajnanananda

A life without values is meaningless. A life without virtue cannot blossom and grow. Values and virtue are essential in worldly life and are vital ingredients on the spiritual path. The truth is that values and virtues are the true beauty in life, infusing it with unyielding steadiness and purpose.
Over two thousand years ago Lord Jesus delivered a sermon that was so powerful and inspiring that it will forever withstand the test of time. Known as the Sermon on the Mount, this sermon begins with sacred blessings known as the Beatitudes. These blessings reveal the qualities necessary to transform our lives and promote divinity.
Lord Jesus, the master of unconditional love, gave us the Beatitudes, the divine remedy for a lost and suffering world. Paramahamsa Prajnanananda shares his profound and illuminating insights on these timeless teachings, linking them to our modern lifestyle and challenges. Pause and reflect upon the depth of these words. Imprint them on your mind and heart forever.

The Essence of the Gita

by Paramahamsa Prajnanananda

As with many of the world’s most significant scriptures, the Bhagavad Gita’s rich metaphorical gems have been misconstrued by the masses. The Bhagavad Gita stands alone in describing the human predicament — our erroneous identification with our bodies and minds that prevents us from recognizing our divine heritage. It teaches us the way out of this mortal dilemma, and it details the paths that lead to freedom and immortality. However, when reading the Gita, one can easily overlook the profound spiritual truths that are subtly cloaked in the retelling of the Mahabharata battle.

Swami Shriyukteshwarji loved the Bhagavad Gita and held its lofty teachings in the highest esteem. He also understood that to mine its underlying message, it must be read with two sets of eyes: the physical eyes and the eyes of the soul. Disheartened by the many commentaries on the Gita that barely skimmed its surface, Shriyukteshwarji felt compelled to write a book that would help seekers access its infinite depth. The original version of his book, the Gitar Tattva, was written in Bengali. Paramahamsa Prajnananandaji cherished it for years and was inspired to translate it into English so seekers around the world could benefit from its teachings. The Essence of the Gita will gently lift your mind from the mundane world to soar in the heights of the inner divine realms.

The Bhikshu Gita: The Song of the Wandering Monk

by Paramahamsa Prajnanananda

Where do you store your treasure, in heaven or on earth? Is your well-being and happiness based on God and Truth, or on money and possessions? The desire for wealth takes root at an early age; in no time an intense longing becomes our foremost aspiration. Our families, our friends, and our divine duty to those in need take a back seat to our insatiable greed. Greed has a corrosive quality that erodes our inner beauty, corrupts our moral fiber, and destroys our relationships.

It may seem that greed is a modern disease. While greediness is undeniably more prevalent and destructive today, this invasive weed has been with us for ages. The ancient Bhikshu Gita scripture from India tells a timeless story about a mean-spirited miser’s unquenchable thirst for money that ultimately leaves him destitute and alone. Thankfully, this story has a happy ending. Through his agony and deep reflection an inner light emerges that reveals his past mistakes and transforms him. The Bhikshu Gita masterfully teaches the simple lesson we are here to learn: The only treasure worth seeking is the eternal treasure.

The Bhikshu Gita: The Song of the Wandering Monk, is a dialogue between Lord Krishna and his beloved friend Uddhava. Paramahamsa Prajnanananda shares a delightful yet insightful commentary. His penetrating translation and teachings illuminate the wisdom of the Lord’s last message for humanity about living with detachment, forsaking emotional reactions, and completely loving God.

In The Temple of Silence

by Paramahamsa Prajnanananda

Silence isn’t just golden; it is divine. Silence is inherently sacred. It is multidimensional, vast, and eternal. Unfortunately, in our social media-driven lives most of us know little about it. In the outer world, silence can lead us to better communication skills and stronger relationships. In the inner world, it can lead us to communion with God. There is no greater teacher than silence. In the holy classroom of silence, all of life’s secrets are revealed.

In this amazing, one-of-a-kind book Paramahamsa Prajnanananda teaches us the importance and impact of practicing silence. Few of us realize the value of silence, how it can lead to self-mastery, and how it can accelerate spiritual growth. Practicing silence is not escapism; it connects us to life at its deepest level. When we enter the temple of silence, we are not escaping from life; instead, we are learning how to live to the fullest.

I Will Collect Flowers for Thee

by Paramahamsa Prajnanananda

Try to imagine a world without flowers. What would it be like? Less vibrant, less inspiring, less joyful, less peaceful? Flowers create so much beauty. In their stillness they captivate us and draw us inward. While rhythmically dancing with the breeze, they enchant us and enliven our hearts.

How would you describe a flower? Poets have compared them to clusters of stars or the secret abode of forest fairies. Some insightful beings have compared them to the soul.

Flowers have a special message for seekers on the spiritual path. What is that message? Flowers show us that the spiritual path need not be complicated. There is no need to follow complex doctrines or subject oneself to difficult or harsh penance. One simply needs to emulate a flower’s purity, beauty, and selflessness.

In I Will Collect Flowers for Thee Paramahamsa Prajnanananda presents original and thought-provoking insight about how our lives are like gardens, and our minds are like gardeners. As this marvelous book nourishes you, it will also challenge you to consider the role you play in the wanton destruction of the natural world. You cannot read this book without feeling a greater love and respect for Mother Earth. Paramahamsaji’s complete oneness with nature will speak to you on many levels. May every new revelation take seed in your heart and mind, blossom into a magnificent flower, and bring beauty and inspiration to all God’s creation.

Paramahamsa Yogananda – Autobiography of a Yogi

by Paramahamsa Yogananda

Autobiography of a Yogi by Paramahamsa Yogananda – Unaltered Version

This is the first time that an authentic Hindu yogi has written his life story for a Western audience. Describing in vivid detail his many years of spiritual training under a Christlike master – Sri Yukteswar of Serampore, Bengal – Yogananda has here revealed a fascinating and little-known phase of modern India. The subtle but definite laws by which yogis perform miracles and attain complete self-mastery are explained with a scientific clarity.

There are colorful chapters on the author’s visits to Mahatma Gandhi, Sir Jagadis Chandra Bose, and Rabindranath Tagore. The section dealing with Yogananda’s Western experiences includes a chapter on his great friend, Luther Burbank, and an account of the author’s pilgrimage to Bavaria in 1935 to meet Therese Neumann, the amazing Catholic stigmatist.

After establishing a high school with yoga training at Ranchi, India, Yogananda came to America in 1920 as the Indian delegate to the International Congress of Religious Liberals. He has lectured extensively in the United States and abroad, and is the founder of a Yoga Institute at Encinitas, California.

Yogananda is a graduate of Calcutta University; he writes not only with unforgettable sincerity but with an incisive wit.

It is a special English unaltered version on the occasion of Paramahamsa Yogananda’s 100 years since coming to the West. All over the world we are celebrating Uniting East and West – Paramahamsa Yoganandaji’s vision in action.

Now, as we are facing the world-wide spread of Covid-19 the great Gurus message and vision becomes even more meaningful.

Lahiri Mahashaya predicted: „The message of Yoga will encircle the globe. It will aid in establishing the brotherhood of man.“

This book is the message of the warmth of brotherhood of man to overcome the present crisis and to realize peace on earth.

Self-Inquiry: The Nirvana Shatkam of Acharya Shankara

by Paramahamsa Prajnanananda

Since birth the world has been telling us who we are — male, female, rich, poor, happy, sad, introvert, extrovert, intelligent, foolish — countless labels are attached to us. Have you ever wondered who we would be without all those labels: if we had no likes or dislikes, no desires or attachments, no selfishness or suffering, no thoughts or memories?

The incomparable master Acharya Shankara provides the answer in his immortal hymn the “Nirvana Shatkam.” Those familiar with the “Nirvana Shatkam” know that it is much more than a hymn. It is a powerful spiritual technique that can lead to enlightenment and liberation. By employing an ancient, systematic approach known as neti neti (not this, not this), Acharya Shankara teaches us how to peel away the layers of false identification that cover the truth of who we are.

Self-Inquiry: The Nirvana Shatkam of Acharya Shankara is an illuminating commentary on the “Nirvana Shatkam.” Paramahamsa Prajnanananda is an experienced guide on the probing journey to self-discovery. His insightful commentary on Acharya Shankara’s timeless masterpiece takes us beyond our cloudy, mundane perceptions, allowing us to see ourselves through the eyes of the Soul.

Devarshi Narada – A Sage and A Mystic

by Paramahamsa Prajnanananda

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. Devarshi Narada is both celestial and human, a teacher as well as a student, serious as well as playful, a devoted friend and a lover of God and humankind. This beautiful combination of qualities appeals to every aspect of our being.

Devarshi Narada: A Sage and a Mystic, written by Paramahamsa Prajnanananda, is a rare gem lovingly offered at the immortal feet of Devarshi Narada. As you read the stories and teachings of Devarshi Narada, uniquely narrated through the sage’s own words, you will discern Paramahamsaji’s special relationship with this great sage who has been a valuable source of inspiration and guidance for him throughout his life. This cherished relationship, nurtured since childhood, lends to his deep insight into one of India’s greatest spiritual luminaries. Though these stories and teachings are ancient, they have lost neither savor nor potency. In fact, in today’s world when so many lack a purpose in life, when love for God and humankind is on the decline, they are more significant than ever.

The Significance of Hindu Worship

by Paramahamsa Prajnanananda

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.

Humility – The Stepping Stone to Spirituality

by Paramahamsa Prajnanananda

Humility is perhaps the least understood, but the most important, of all virtues. No good quality can be deemed a virtue unless it is grounded in humility. When seekers of Truth lack humility, they stand still on the path of spiritual growth. If we are not humble, our good qualities are nothing more than fodder for the false ego — the ego that prevents us from knowing who we really are.

In this small but thought-provoking book, Humility: The Stepping Stone to Spirituality, Paramahamsa Prajnananandaji dispels misperceptions often associated with humility. We learn how and why humility creates invincible strength. We learn that it is not a weakness as many believe it to be. Through deep spiritual insight and his own experiences the master clearly outlines the steps that must be taken to cultivate humility. Anyone who practices what Paramahamsaji teaches will reap the supreme bounty that can only be harvested by one who is humble.

The Story of the Eight Obstacles

by Paramahamsa Prajnanananda

What are the obstacles that confront us? Where do they come from? How can we overcome them?

To be victorious on the spiritual path, we must overcome the obstacles that prevent us from realizing our true potential. Most of us perceive that obstacles stem from difficult circumstances or people, but a yogi perceives things differently. A yogi knows that the source of every obstacle is rooted in our own thoughts and feelings. To achieve spiritual growth and win the sacred battle of life, we must make every effort to identify our inner obstacles and vanquish them.

The Story of the Eight Obstacles is a spiritual handbook that speaks to the heart. This beautiful book by Paramahamsa Prajnananandaji helps us take an honest look at the eight inner obstacles, or nooses that bind us; it teaches us the practical skills we need to conquer them to be free. Although we all face different circumstances, Paramahamsaji’s penetrating insight reveals that the obstacles we confront are the same.

Understanding Ego

by Paramahamsa Prajnanananda

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.

Shri Gurutantra

by Paramahamsa Prajnanananda

The Gurutantra is an ancient text that has for the most part remained unknown throughout the ages, even in India. Millennia ago its lofty verses were memorized and chanted; later they were recorded in written form. The Gurutantra is a rare handbook for those on the spiritual path. It offers deep insight and practical guidance with regard to loving and serving the guru in order to achieve spiritual success. No doubt, especially in modern times, the guru’s role is clouded by misunderstanding and confusion; many people fall prey to adoring the guru’s human form rather than following his or her teachings.

Paramahamsa Prajnananandaji, realizing the need for making this text available, carefully translated it from its original Sanskrit into English. Undoubtedly, his profound love and gratitude toward his own guru–preceptor, Paramahamsa Hariharanandaji, inspired this important work. The guru plays an indispensable role in the lives of students, but this text reminds us that we must first understand our role in this relationship if we want to be successful.

In the Company of My Master – Vol1

by Paramahamsa Prajnanananda

Paramahamsa Hariharananda cautioned his students to proceed carefully because “the spiritual path is very slippery.” The journey to God is fraught with pitfalls, traps, endless sensual enticements, and creations of the mind. We can only marvel at the remarkable men and women who have courageously attained the realized state. How were they able to avoid the hazards that lead to spiritual downfall?

The masters who choose to share their experiences are spiritual inspirations; their teachings nourish students’ growth. A realized one, a guru, is a divine alchemist who guides the transformation of seekers from mortal human beings to the realization that they are immortal souls. Paramahamsa Hariharananda, the illustrious modern-day sage, was such a master.

In the Company of My Master, Volume One, is the first in a series of diaries that contain the priceless teachings of Paramahamsa Hariharananda. These teachings are taken from the personal notes of his foremost disciple and successor, Paramahamsa Prajnanananda, who shares many of the teachings that helped him achieve the pinnacle of realization. We learn how to live spiritual lives, achieve Self-realization, and serve God’s creation. We learn about day-to-day practical spirituality. This book is a roadmap for traveling on the journey to the truth: we are God in human beings and human beings in God.

Freedom from Anger

by Paramahamsa Prajnanananda

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.
How can we deal with such a formidable foe?

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.
