Books published by Self-Realization Fellowship

In this classic spiritual guide, Paramahansa Yogananda, author of Autobiography of a Yogi, dispels the myth that God is beyond our reach. He points out that it is not only possible to talk with God but to receive definite responses to our prayers. Defining the Lord as both the transcendent, universal Spirit and the intimately personal Father, Mother, Friend, and Lover of all, he helps us to realize how close that infinite and all-loving Being is to each one of us. He also explains how we can make our prayers so powerful and persuasive that they will bring a tangible response.

Mejda on kiehtova ja ihastuttava elämäkerta. Sen kirjoittaja pääsi nuorempana veljenä seuraamaan ainutlaatuisen läheltä Paramahansa Yoganandan elämää. Hän nimittää tätä kiintymystä kuvaavalla sanalla Mejda, mikä bengalin kielessä tarkoittaa toiseksi vanhinta veljeä. Kirja tarjoaa hyvin henkilökohtaisia muistiinmerkintöjä erään aikamme tärkeimmän hengellisen vaikuttajan varhaisista vuosista. Niille miljoonille lukijoille, joita hengellinen klassikko Joogin omaelämäkerta on koskettanut, teos tarjoaa uusia näkökulmia Yoganandan hämmästyttäviin elämänvaiheisiin. Lumoava kirja sisältää monia aiemmin julkaisemattomia tarinoita, jotka tuovat uutta valoa Joogin omaelämäkerrassa kerrottuihin tapahtumiin. Sananda Lal Ghosh toteaa, että Paramahansaji ei ymmärrettävästi halunnut korostaa omia hengellisiä saavutuksiaan, kun hän kirjoitti omaelämäkertaansa. Mejda tarjoaa lukijalle elävän, aitiopaikalta nähdyn kuvauksen Yoganandan tärkeistä Intian vuosista. Kirjan valloittavista kertomuksista välittyy uudenlainen kuva tästä rakastetusta maailman opettajasta: säteilevä hengellinen persoonallisuus, jonka elämä todistaa Intian universaalista Jumalan tuntemisen tieteestä, sen ajattomasta totuudesta ja elinvoimasta.
