Today's view of history cannot account for ancient anomalies, such as the Pyramids and advanced knowledge contained in India's Vedas. But in 1894, an Indian sage gave us an explanation not only for our hidden past but for the trends of today and for our future enlightenment - the 24,000-year yuga cycle. 

Rarely in a lifetime does a new spiritual classic appear that has the power to change people's lives and transform future generations. This is such a book. The Essence of the Bhagavad Gita: Explained by Paramhansa Yogananda shares the profound insights of Yogananda, author of Autobiography of a Yogi, as remembered by one of his few remaining direct disciples, Swami Kriyananda.

The New Path tells the story of a young American's spiritual quest, his discovery of the powerful classic Autobiography of a Yogi, and his subsequent meeting with - and acceptance as a disciple by - the book's author, the great spiritual teacher and yoga master, Paramhansa Yogananda.

The Essence of Self-Realization, nearly 300 sayings rich with spiritual wisdom, is the fruit of that labor of love. The scope of this book is vast - it offers as complete an explanation of life's true purpose, and the way to achieve that purpose, as may be found anywhere. Filled with lessons and stories that Yogananda shared only with his closest disciples, this volume offers one of the most insightful and engaging glimpses into the life and lessons of a great sage.

Paramhansa Yogananda’s classic Autobiography of a Yogi was more about the saints Yogananda met than about himself - in spite of the fact that Yogananda was much greater than many he described. Now, one of Yogananda’s few remaining direct disciples, Swami Kriyananda, author of award winning book The New Path, tells the untold story of this great spiritual master and world teacher.

A Place Called Ananda is a deeply meaningful story. If what you seek in life is greater inspiration and understanding, you will find here a fulfillment. The story is different, yes. In some ways it is highly unusual. Its underlying message, however, is universal.

Swami reminds us here that when we face the battles of life, we are called upon to concentrate our forces and put out the energy to overcome the obstacle (or karma) in front of us. The more battles we fight, the stronger we grow spiritually, and the closer we come to winning our ultimate freedom in God. He also advises us not to dilute our energy by worrying about the outcome of our efforts. If we put all our energy into what we're doing at present, our concentration will be better, and so will the results.

Swami tells us that it's difficult to change bad habits using only thought and reason because our minds are influenced by desires and attachments. When we reach a superconscious state, however, we can change a deep-seated habit in one meditation!

Swami Kriyananda states here that the basis of spiritual laziness lies in the fact that we have all evolved from states of relative unconsciousness. The Indian Scriptures say that God sleeps in the minerals, dreams in the plants, and begins to stir in the animals.

In this talk, Swami goes right to the heart of our teachings: how to love God more. He reminds us that God doesn't care what we know, but how much we love. Divine Mother likes simple devotion, and in prayer she responds to the quality of our hearts, not our words. He also explains that when we meditate with just our minds it doesn't feed the soul; we must meditate with devotion!

Some of the things Swami discusses in this talk are: how we can prepare ourselves to be open and attuned to God's guidance; the ways in which guidance comes to us; how to discern the difference between true guidance and personal projection; and, what to do when guidance doesn't come to us.
