The Single Event that Changed Swami Kriyananda's Life/Our Black Friday Offer

Dear friend,

In 1948, at the age of 22, Swami Kriyananda (James Donald Walters) discovered Autobiography of a Yogi in a bookstore in New York.

Two days after finishing that magical book, Kriyananda boarded the next available California-bound bus. His mission: to meet the author of the book, Paramhansa Yogananda, and to become his disciple.

The book and that meeting changed Kriyananda's life in the most profound way, beyond anything he could have imagined just days earlier.

Kriyananda later became the founder of Ananda Worldwide and Crystal Clarity Publishers, whose teachings and writings have inspired millions to seek God.

At the age of 17, Steve Jobs discovered Yogananda's autobiography while traveling in India. For the next forty years Jobs reread it at least once a year, until his death in 2011. And he asked that that same book be given to each person who attended his funeral.

The inspiration and wisdom in Autobiography of a Yogi were the guiding principles in Steve Job's life, work, and success.

This holiday season, we invite you to consider giving the gifts of spiritual inspiration: books or products that have the potential to change someone’s life in the most meaningful way.

We have carefully chosen the following books, based on the teachings of Paramhansa Yogananda, all of which offer deep spiritual wisdom and loving guidance that can assist us in all areas of our lives.

All of the items featured below are greatly discounted. You can purchase them individually or as a bundle.

3) The Man Who Refused Heaven by Paramhansa Yogananda

Yogananda’s experience of life, and what he believed to be the goal of all life, was joy. He lived in joy always, and sought to awaken it in others. The humor in this book arose spontaneously from Yogananda’s deep joy.

Sometimes he used humor to express an important spiritual principle. Sometimes he used it in training the disciples, to help them learn in a way that reasoned lectures could never achieve.

The message of this book is both playful and serious. The serious message is that joy can be found within us always. We should look for it there and share it with others.
