1) The Essence of Self-Realization: The Wisdom of Paramhansa Yogananda
Great teachers work through their students, and Yogananda was no exception. Kriyananda writes in the introduction to the present volume, “After I’d been with him a year and a half, he began urging me to write down the things he was saying during informal conversations.”
The Essence of Self-Realization, nearly 300 sayings rich with spiritual wisdom, is the fruit of that labor of love. It offers as complete an explanation of life’s true purpose, and of the way to achieve that purpose, as may be found anywhere.
 
2) Autobiography of a Yogi by Paramhansa Yogananda
Have you ever read the same book forty times or know anyone who has? We only know of one person who did, Steve Jobs. He read Autobiography of a Yogi at least once every year since he first discovered it as a teenager, while traveling in India, until his death in 2011. This is the same book Steve gave to every guest attending his funeral.
Followers of many religious traditions have come to recognize Autobiography of a Yogi as a masterpiece of spiritual literature. Yet, for all its spiritual depth, it is full of gentle humor, lively stories, and practical common sense. This is a verbatim reprinting of the original edition, unedited, as written by Paramhansa Yogananda himself. An excellent and deeply meaningful book for your loved ones.
3) Paramhansa Yogananda, A Biography by Swami Kriyananda Winner of the International Book Award for Best Spirituality Book of 2012, and winner in the category of Best Spirituality Book of 2013 for the Next Generation Indie Awards!
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 close and direct disciples tells the untold story of this great spiritual master and world teacher: his teenage miracles, his challenges in coming to America, his national lecture campaigns, his struggles to fulfill his world-changing mission amid incomprehension and painful betrayals, and his ultimate triumphant achievement. 4) Stories of Yogananda’s Youth by Swami Kriyananda
Stories from the youth of Mukunda Lal Ghosh, later known to the world under his monastic name of Paramhansa Yogananda, author of the bestselling spiritual classic Autobiography of a Yogi. Even in his youth the greatness of this master of yoga was revealed. Complements beautifully Yogananda’s own autobiography.
The author, Swami Kriyananda, a direct and close disciple of Yogananda, writes: “In this book I have tried to depict Yogananda’s spirit; a spirit ardent with love for God, tender with sympathy for all men, forgiving, kindly, humorous, yet resolute and forceful when strength was needed.”  5) The Essence of the Bhagavad Gita
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 close and direct disciples, Swami Kriyananda.
This revelation of India’s best-loved scripture approaches it from an entirely fresh perspective, showing its deep allegorical meaning and also its down-to-earth practicality. The themes presented are universal, including: how to achieve victory in life in union with the divine; how to prepare for life’s “final exam,” death, and what happens afterward; and how to triumph over all pain and suffering. 
6) The Sky and Earth Touched Me by Bharat Joseph Cornell Grand Prize Winner for the Non-Fiction, Indie Book Awards Winner for the Science/Nature/Environment category, Indie Book Awards Gold Medal Winner for Best Environment/Ecology/Nature Book, IPPY Book Awards Winner for Spiritual category, Green Book Festival Awards
Cornell’s classic bestseller, Sharing Nature with Children, sparked a worldwide revolution, connecting hundreds of thousands of educators and children with the renewing powers of Nature.
Now The Sky and Earth Touched Me will work similar wonders with adult nature lovers.
This book takes the Sharing Nature exercises to a much higher level. It encapsulates a “Healing in Nature” program that can be used by individuals and professionals such as educators, naturalists, health practitioners, and religious leaders.  7) The Answer DVD
This film has received 17 major awards, 26 official selections, and 48 nominations at International Film Festivals.
The Answer tells the powerful true story of an American, James Donald Walters. The film portrays his youthful quest for truth, which takes him from his birthplace in Romania to Switzerland and England, and eventually to the United States, where in 1948 in Hollywood, California, he has an extraordinary meeting with Paramhansa Yognanda, the great Indian master and author of Autobiography of a Yogi. Young Donald—later, Swami Kriyananda—is immediately accepted as a disciple, and his amazing spiritual journey begins.
This film is the saga of his anguished search, of his illuminations and dark nights of the soul, of his determination never to give up, and of the winding path that leads him to the presence of his spiritual master. In his quest we recognize the eternal search of every individual; through his inner battles we discover our own inner strength; in his attunement with the expanded vision of his master, we find hope for our own illumination. 
8) Power Chants CD, Ananda Kirtan
Yogananda said: “Chanting is half the battle.” Swami Sivananda stated: “You can realize God alone through kirtan.” Chanting can open one's heart and elevate one's consciousness in the most profound way.
Chanting is an ancient technique for focusing and uplifting the mind and soul into higher states of consciousness. This recording will help you tap into the positive aspects of Power: the ability to strengthen and direct your will, creative energy, and inner resources toward the Divine, and to use this Power for your spiritual growth.
