Exemplar of the spiritual blend of science and love

After nearly fifty years as president of one of the world's most respected yoga institutions, Sri Daya Mata is the exemplar of taking meditative yoga to its pinnacle -- universal, unconditional love.To someone like myself (raised in the sciences), the concept of "love" for a "personal God" was not a respectable thought until it was shown me (in Autobiography of a Yogi (by Daya Mata's teacher, Paramahansa Yogananda) ISBN 0876120834 ) how rationality and divine love were both mutually consistent and mutually supportive. Yogananda's expositions on Kriya Yoga (one expression of the meditative science of raja yoga) make it clear that systematic, scientific practice of proven techniques of clearing the mind and body are of utmost importance in helping one to open and expand the limited human heart. Yogananda's classical spiritual instruction goes on to describe the importance of developing the ''right attitude'' in all activities and especially in the practice of one's yoga and meditation. Let this collection of wise and loving insights from Daya Mata serve as an inspiration for you to develop YOUR OWN personal relationship with the Creator. If at present you find the appeal limited (or the value unclear) of employing PERSONAL concepts for drawing closer to the Invisible Infinite, you might appreciate reading Yogananda's chapter, "Is God Personal or Impersonal?" in his volume "Man's Eternal Quest" (ISBN 0876122322 ).

BUY THIS GEM!

I'm not going to quote from the book. This is a collection of diverse sayings from the President of Self-Realization Fellowship. It's incredible! The simplicity and diversity of what this saint covers in so few words. It will fill your heart with light. After I read it, I called Self-Realization Fellowship headquarters and asked a nun to please tell Daya Mata how deeply I was impressed with this book and loved it so dearly. She told me she would. One harsh point also needs to be made. My library has all the SRF material ever published. All this material is "safe" and won't push you off the path. As Brother Bhaktananda told me, going off the path can be "very subtle". But if you have had kriya iniation by SRF or even in the mail, Paramahansa Yogananda is your Guru. The Guru is the one you follow. Nobody else. Buy this beautiful book !
