Nothing is more precious to disciples than spending time with their spiritual teacher, especially when the teacher is a God-realized master. What a gift is this intimate view into Paramahamsa Prajnananandaji’s cherished moments with his beloved Gurudev, the eminent Kriya Yoga Master Paramahamsa Hariharananda. Volume 4 of „In the Company of My Master“ narrates Paramahamsa Prajnananandaji’s apprenticeship with his master at Karar Ashram from 1987 to 1989.
Readers will find this book captivating, but its stories are much more than beautiful memories; they are a roadmap to Self-realization. Paramahamsa Hariharananda is the perfect master, a marvelous blend of unconditional love and infinite wisdom, equally adept at being in the world and beyond it. Paramahamsa Prajnanananda, his foremost disciple, was uncompromising in his commitment to his master. Their bond was impenetrable.
Gurudev Paramahamsa Hariharanandaji, humble and selfless, had only one wish for his disciples: to reach the state of realization – then exceed it. His heart was fathomless.

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.

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.

Swami Shriyukteshwar

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.

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.

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.

Great beings have great goals. Spiritual greatness is achieved by those who have the noblest and highest goal of all. But the goal is not enough. One must also possess the determination, discipline, and love to pursue it wholeheartedly.

At an age when most young men are chasing dreams of financial success and relationships, Triloki Dash (later known as Paramahamsa Prajnanananda) focused on only one thing: attaining the summit of spiritual realization. His intense longing eventually led him to the ashram of Paramahamsa Hariharananda, one of the greatest realized masters in modern history. Among spiritual giants Paramahamsa Hariharananda was extraordinary. His teachings were simple, his depth unfathomable. His words and actions had a weighty purpose; they were all hints to help his students unravel the mystery of life. His life was a living scripture. Ultimately, his most remarkable quality was the unconditional love that flowed like a mighty river from his heart. It charged the atmosphere and transformed the lives of countless spiritual seekers.

This marvelous book is the third volume in a series written from Paramahamsa Prajnanananda’s notes during his discipleship at the feet of his beloved Paramahamsa Hariharananda. It is an invaluable tool for every seeker of Truth. The deeply personal narrative provides an intimate glimpse into the mind and heart of an exceptional student as well as into the teachings that helped him attain spiritual realization. We are also allowed to witness the eternal bond of love between a realized master and his devoted student.

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.

Our parents teach us about the world, but a spiritual master teaches us what lies beyond it. A master teaches us how to conquer the world by conquering ourselves. When a student is receptive and follows the master’s guidance, advancement on the spiritual path is assured. When the teachings take root in the heart and mind, they flourish and grow when faithfully practiced with discipline and love. No doubt, this was the case for Paramahamsa Prajnananandaji, the foremost disciple of the God-realized yogi Paramahamsa Hariharanandaji. Through his unflinching spirit, dedication, selfless love, and devotion, Prajnananandaji was perfectly attuned to his master and ultimately achieved the pinnacle of Self-realization.

This second volume of In the Company of My Master contains Paramahamsa Prajnananandaji’s notes and recollections as a young disciple of his beloved Gurudev. In this enlightening and intimate book Prajnananandaji shares some of his most treasured memories, revealing the master’s words and actions that laid the foundation and provided the necessary thrust for him to achieve the ultimate goal of life. It is an indispensable source of inspiration for every seeker. As we read this book, we will realize that when we follow the master’s teachings with implicit faith and love, everything is possible.

Paramahamsa Yogananda

Autobiography of a Yogi by Paramahamsa YoganandaUnaltered 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.

von 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.

The spiritual journey is more than the time we spend in daily meditation; we must make an effort to transform ourselves every day. As children of the Divine, our lives on earth were not meant to be static; they should be dynamic and purposeful. But what should we practice? What qualities should we cultivate?

In this marvelous guidebook, Paramahamsa Prajnanananda beautifully discusses the spiritual practices Lord Krishna outlines in the Bhagavad Gita. Paramahamsaji explains them in a way that can help us calmly face the challenges of modern life with clarity.

Filled with encouraging insights and practical wisdom, this book analyzes topics such as the absence of pride and stubbornness, living with nonviolence and compassion, developing purity and deep devotion, practicing equanimity, love for seclusion, nonattachment, living in constant Self-knowledge, and many more.

If we wish to become who we really are, we must practice these twenty tips and develop spiritual qualities daily. We must become useful instruments in the hands of God. We must learn to perceive God in all and all in God.

Paramahamsa Prajnanananda

Centuries ago the legendary and gifted spiritual master Shri Adi Shankara left the world a priceless treasure: ten brief, powerful verses known as the Dasha Shloki. Shri Shankara, a spiritual genius, spontaneously spoke these gems of Truth as an eight-year-old child in response to a simple question put forth by his guru: „Who are you?“ His inspiring answers can ignite the flame of knowledge within the minds of all sincere seekers, all those seeking to know who they really are. Shri Adi Shankara’s concise and incomparable teachings prove to the world that one need not say much to say it all.

As a result of his timeless devotional attunement to Shri Shankara, Paramahamsa Prajnanananda, a God-filled, realized master, is able to convey the heart and soul of Shri Shankara’s teachings with enlightening commentary. He helps us probe deeply into our souls to find the answer to life’s greatest mystery.

Paramahamsa Prajnanananda

The classic Sanskrit text of Sage Patanjali’s Yoga Sutra is deceptively concise: in fact, it is dense with profound insights into the spiritual path of Kriya Yoga as both the means and end of Self-realization, or merging with the Divine. As such, it has drawn much commentary over the years from sages and scholars alike.

This new treatment of the Yoga Sutra includes key translations of the Sanskrit as well as an original foreword and treasured commentary by acclaimed Yogiraj Shri Lahiri Mahasaya. Paramahamsa Prajnanananda builds upon this substantial foundation with insightful metaphorical explanations that will render the sutras more intelligible to contemporary seekers. Following the example of Shri Lahiri Mahasaya, these new explanations are delivered in accessible and clear language to aid the modern reader’s understanding.

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.

Rabinarayan Das

What does it mean to do sadhana? How and where must it be done? Who is it for? What are the essential qualities that every sadhaka must have?

Many aspire to follow a spiritual path, but there are a select few who have the real desire to go much deeper in their practice. In this book, spiritual luminary Shri Rabinarayan Das Babaji reaches out to those who aspire to turn their total attention to the Divine as well as those who have already embarked on their journey but who perhaps are in need of a little direction.

In this book, the author takes a step-by-step approach to explaining the sadhana path, and does so with the fiery and perfectionist passion that he was so lovingly known for. In doing so, he underlines the nature and the importance of the guru–disciple relationship and why determination, strength, loyalty, and total surrender are essential on the part of the sadhaka.

Shri Rabinarayan Das Babaji (1930–2011) was one of the foremost disciples of Shri Shri Thakur Abhirama Paramahamsa Deva and the founder of Shri Abhiram Trust, Odisha.

Paramahamsa Prajnanananda

Over the past few decades, the word „karma“ quietly made its way into the mainstream vernacular of modern Western culture. Once considered an Eastern concept, the karmic law is now generally accepted by both religious and non-religious masses as a universal and systematic law that automatically delivers the consequences of good or bad actions. Although the concept of karma is no longer foreign in the West, its intricate workings remain elusive.

Are there different kinds of karma? How do our actions create karma? How is karma carried to the next life? Can we be free from the bondage of karma? The fascinating subject of karma opens the door to an infinite number of unanswered questions. But take heart! In this rare and essential handbook, The Law of Karma, the Kriya Yoga master, Paramahamsa Prajnanananda, skillfully explains the often misunderstood inner workings of this dynamic law. He gives us the tools we need to break free from the karmic prison.

We see the puppets dance, but often forget that the string puller orchestrates the movements. It is the body’s dance we see, but the soul is at play within. Casual observers often ignore this truth and consider the body as the ultimate manifestation of reality. Such gross misunderstanding is the cause of all suffering. A spiritual seeker through the step-by-step teaching and gradual unveiling from a divine guide, realizes that an individual is not the body, but the soul free from all boundaries and one with the eternal Creator, God. This is the path towards real freedom from all suffering.

Paramahamsa Hariharananda

Since ancient times scriptural wisdom has been the polestar of humankind. The message of the scriptures is universal; not meant for one particular race or nation, or even subject to space and time.

Scriptural verses are self-revealing and illuminating, each one like a multifaceted crystal, shimmering with beauty when held to the sun. However, just as a treasure is often hidden, so, too, is the inner meaning of these gems of Truth; thus, the scriptures are often misinterpreted and misunderstood by the general population.

Those who know and understand these truths are the realized saints and sages. They are the sun that reveals the true beauty of the crystal. Within the pages of this book, ‚The Beauty of Scriptural Wisdom‘, we are given the opportunity to explore the profound inner revelations of the great yogi and spiritual master Paramahamsa Hariharananda and share his deep insight into the hidden truth within the scriptures.

In India, from time immemorial, the importance of a master in human life has been emphasized. A healthy student-master relationship results in gratitude towards the teacher and ultimately results in anchoring in the truth. The classic Sanskrit text “Shree Shree Guru Gita” deals with the contribution that a master makes to the spiritual development of the seeker. Of course, the duties of a student towards his teacher are also described. The helpful explanations of one of India’s most popular spiritual writings come from Paramahamsa Prajnanananda and Lahiri Mahasaya, the great Householder yogi.

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.

Paramahamsa Prajnanananda

No doubt Shri Lahiri Mahasaya, the omniscient Kriya Yoga master, perceived the divine destiny of his youthful student, young Bhupendranath Sanyal (Shri Sanyal Mahashaya), the youngest disciple to ever receive initiation from him. For deep within the heart of this youth a fire was ablaze, a fire that would illuminate his life and become an interminable torch on the sacred path of godhood.

Shri Sanyal Mahashaya was one of those rare beings who lived as he believed. The story of this esteemed master of the great Kriya Yoga lineage is a story of hope, encouragement, and inspiration for all. It is a story that says to us that one day we too will overcome the odds and reach the divine destination.

Paramahamsa Prajnanananda

Within ourselves, we all cry out for the freedom that comes from realizing the truth of our divine nature. Countless paths lead to this truth, but whichever path is chosen, the necessary qualities to tread it remains the same. Path of Knowledge: Talks on Acharya Shankara’s Tattva Bodha provide a clear and concise outline of what is required to achieve freedom and immortality. It illuminates the eternal message of achieving moksha „” liberation in this life. Archarya Shankara’s original commentaries encapsulated the very essence of Vedantic thought and infused new life into a philosophy that had become misunderstood and stale. Vedanta is Truth, and Truth is beyond religion, culture, space, and time. Acharya Shankara’s teachings are for everyone, for any path, for any time.

Paramahamsa Prajnanananda’s commentary is profound and thought-provoking as well as highly practical. We become keenly aware of Paramahamsaji’s love for Acharya Shankara as he gently takes us by the hand and guides us along the path of the venerable master’s thought, clearing obstacles along the way. This skillful step-by-step journey leads us to the coveted goal, the realization of the Self, our true identity. Any seeker with a sincere desire to know the truth, who wants to take a courageous step towards freedom, will find the wisdom contained in this book invaluable.

Paramahamsa Prajnanananda

„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.

Paramahamsa Prajnanananda

People chase after many things searching for lasting happiness and contentment. Fame, wealth, power, possessions — all these are fleeting; hence, once attained, they leave us unsatisfied and unfulfilled. Where does lasting happiness lie?

Ages ago in ancient India a great king sat at the feet of Avadhuta, a naked sage, and asked that very question. He sensed that the incomparable sage had found the secret to attaining the happiness that he so desperately sought. “How did you achieve your knowledge? Who is your guru?” asked the eager king. When Avadhuta answered, the soul of the story began.

Paramahamsa Prajnanananda lovingly narrates the simple yet thought-provoking tale of Avadhuta and his twenty-four gurus. This tale helps us discover that the secret to true happiness is linked to our perception of the world. When viewed through the eyes of innocence and wonder, the entire world can become a magical classroom, abounding with teachers at every turn.

From their first pilgrimage to the Himalayan Mountains, Paramahamsa Prajnanananda and Swami Brahmananda formed a bond of friendship that would serve them both as a source of strength and support in their pilgrimage through life. Their complementary natures and uniformity of mind brought them together in their love and devotion to Gurudev Baba Hariharananda and their service in bringing Kriya Yoga to the world.

For over twenty years, their friendship was the personification of Kriya principals: spiritual growth, love without attachment or expectation, and selfless service to God, masters, and humanity. The story of their friendship is an inspiration to all and conveys invaluable lessons for both practical life and progression on the spiritual path.

While leading an ordinary life amidst every sort of adversity possible to the worldly man, Lahiri Mahasaya was able to reach the apogee of Self-realization, keeping it as his ultimate goal, solely through his spiritual practice and his love for his master. Through the practice of the divine and immortal Kriya Yoga, he not only sanctified his life, but was able under the guidance of his master Mahavatar Babaji to spread the teaching and practice of Kriya Yoga throughout India, and through his disciples, throughout the world.

Through Lahiri Mahasaya’s company and blessings, many worldly people were able to transform the aimless voyage of their lives into one of perfect communion with God. The history and influence of his sixty-seven years on this earth continue to inspire and rekindle divine impulses within spiritual seekers, even today.
