About the Author

Hailed as "the father of Yoga in the West", Paramahansa Yogananda - author of the spiritual classic Autobiography of a Yogi - is regarded as one of the great spiritual figures of our time. Born in northern India on January 5, 1893, he devoted his life to helping people of all races and creeds to realize and express more fully in their lives the true beauty, nobility, and divinity of the human spirit. After graduating from Calcutta University in 1915, Yogananda took formal vows as a monk of India's venerable monastic Swami Order. Two years later, he began his life's work with the founding of a how-to-live school since grown to twenty-one educational institutions throughout India where traditional academic subjects were offered together with yoga training and instruction in spiritual ideals. In 1920, he was invited to serve as India's delegate to an International Congress of Religious Liberals in Boston. His address to the Congress and subsequent lectures on the East Coast were enthusiastically received, and in 1924 he embarked on a cross-continental speaking tour. Over the next three decades, Paramahansa Yogananda contributed in far-reaching ways to a greater awareness and appreciation in the West of the spiritual wisdom of the East. In Los Angeles, he established an international headquarters for Self-Realization Fellowship, the nonsectarian religious society he had founded in 1920. Through his writings, extensive lecture tours, and the creation of Self-Realization Fellowship temples and meditation centers, he introduced hundreds of thousands of truth-seekers to the ancient science and philosophy of Yoga and its universally applicable methods of meditation. Today, the spiritual and humanitarian work begun by Paramahansa Yogananda continues under the direction of Sri Mrinalini Mata, one of his closest disciples and president of Self-Realization Fellowship/Yogoda Satsanga Society of India since 2011. In addition to publishing his writings, lectures and informal talks (including a comprehensive series of Self-Realization Fellowship Lessons for home study), the society also oversees temples, retreats, and centers around the world.

5.0 out of 5 stars This book belongs in every household!
Reviewed in the United States on October 25, 2013

It's the perfect size to tuck into your pocket or purse as you dash out the door to any appointment where you may find yourself " waiting". The dialog is the right length to fill in the gaps in a day when you find yourself waiting on or for someone or something. It is also an ideal book to use at the end of a meditation session or to read aloud to a yoga group during savasana. It is great to read a passage upon awakening and reflect on it throughout the day. It is also a lovely book to read a passage from prior to turning out the light at night for pleasant thoughts as one drifts off to sleep.This book is as handy a Swiss Army Knife- it can be used in so many ways!

This was my introduction to the teachings of Paramahansa Yogananda and I was very pleased with the book. I'm not a Christian but I appreciate the way Paramahansa was able to create a bridge between his philosophy and Christianity without discrediting Christian teachings at all... he actually embraced them,
I'm by no means a follower but I have since purchased more books from Paramahansa Yogananda and use them as a source of spiritual reference. Definitely recommended.

Good book, but didnt expect it to have more of a religious aspect to it, which to me is a little biased, but definitely helps nonetheless. Its small enough to where I can fit it in my pocket and need to meditate somewhere other than home.

I love this meditation book. It starts my day with balance and centers me for whats ahead in my day. It's small enough to keep in my purse or pocket in case I need to refocus anytime during the day. It also has guidance for meditation in the forward of the book in case your a newbie to the practice or just need a reminder.

It contains various meditations and prayers according to the various issues I encounter. It's not a book you read from start to finish. It's a book you flip through and select the prayer appropriate for your situation.

5.0 out of 5 stars 祈りの花束
Reviewed in Japan on October 7, 2001
Verified Purchase
この本はいったいどんな本なのでしょう？実際に手にとって御覧になればよくおわかりになるのですが、ここでは少し難しいですね。この本は、(タイトルから推測されがちなように) 瞑想の理論が論述的に説明されたものではなく、たくさんの「祈りのことば」が紹介されている本です。「祈り」といっても、著者は"prayer" ではなく "demanding"という言葉を好んで使います。これは、私達が自我意識の立場からまるで「乞食のように」頼りなく何かにすがりつくのではなく、まず「神の子」であることを体得し、そこから堂々と、そして親しみをこめて「父」に語りかけなさい、という意味です。もちろん、ただことばを目で追ったり頭で読んだりするだけではなく、実際にことばを「体験」するという実践が必要になりますが、きわめて詩的で、しかも簡潔な「祈りのことば」がたくさん詰まった、美しい宝石箱のような本です。

Very tiny book. Perhaps costs 50-100 Rs. Though knowledge is precious, same can be acquired from Yoganandaji's other books which are cheaper.
