An inspiring guide for all who wonder what lies behind the seeming realities of life, this book offers compelling evidence that it is possible for each one of us to find that elusive joy that is in fact right within us. Paramahansa Yogananda takes the reader on a profound journey that explores the little-known and seldom-explained aspects of meditation, life after death, healing, and the powers of the mind. A wealth of inspiring, in-depth, practical guidance for self-development.

Take as a first gift, chapter one: How Seekers First Found God. For perhaps the first time in the English we have a clear explanation and follow-up to Christ’s puzzling pair of directions: Seek first The Kingdom / The Kingdom of God is within you. Yogananda gives us an unsurpassed overview of thousands of years of yoga experimental scientists studied HOW to “seek the kingdom within:” Here we learn WHY we are instructed to “be still and know that I am God” (PS 46:10) — because stillness is necessary for us to go deeper (and higher) than sense perception to hear the omnipresent whispering of Spirit to our souls. Because the press of “civilization” urges us to be active and outer-directed, we are strangers to the very qualities that would help us experiences our soul-natures and our souls’ yearning to express its divinity.

The yoga methods of relaxation for body, breath and mind are beneficial to pursuers of ALL religions — even to those of NO religion who yearn to awaken a higher level of functioning in mind and purer health in body — for yoga is truly the original WHOLISTIC system. Raja Yoga shows how ALL human functioning can be optimized, including (if you’re so inclined) the human search for its divinity.
