The interface between the individual and what constitutes his world is formed by a nexus of cosmic forces of graded subtlety. Understanding these forces and energies opens up a whole field of tangibly realizable possibilities. The book attempts to ignite a spark that illuminates the fact that the spiritual goal cannot be attained by suppression or a denial of your desires and passions. That we need to rise above violent labelling of power, desire, and money as evil and identify the real evil within as a lack of awareness of the energy field and its role as a bridge between matter and spirit. The book borrows on the quotations of ancient and modern physicists, metaphysicists, sages, philosophers, and poets and blends their words with some personal reflections based on experience. The intent at all times being to share perspectives that embrace the spiritual potential in material and the material possibilities of the spiritual journey. The book celebrates the oneness of spirit and matter through these quotes, which have been compartmentalized into chapters that inform, educate, or gently hint at this oneness and harmony, which holds the disparate cosmic components together as a seamless whole.

In this classic spiritual guide, Paramahansa Yogananda 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. How You Can Talk with God is a favorite of spiritual seekers around the world, showing readers how to pray with greater intimacy to create a deep and fulfilling personal relationship with the Divine. This is a book to keep by the bedside, discovering with each reading new gems of inspiration and wisdom. Read less

This AUTOBIOGRAPHY OF A YOGI will astonish... "This is a riveting read of the spiritual journey of one of the most deeply disciplined seekers I have ever met. You'll find it provocative, entertaining, and spiritually sobering. It's hard to put down. Read it, digest it and be challenged. There's more to this story than meets the eye!" Philip Johnson, co-author, Riding the Rollercoaster and Sacred Quest "Today, many have embarked on a spiritual journey, but few have done it with the enthusiasm dedication and intensity of Michael Graham. While still a teenager, a twenty-eight-year odyssey began, leading him to India where he had dramatic encounters with some the 20th Century's most famous Eastern religious teachers. In this personal account he tells of these meetings and spiritual 'awakenings' and then his subsequent efforts to reconcile his amazing experiences with his questioning intellect. At the same time, he presents an eloquent insider's account of the Western world's fascination with Eastern Mysticism. This enthralling story will stimulate and challenge all spiritual seekers." Martin Roth, author Zen Guide and Living Water to Light the Journey "If you enjoyed Death of a Guru, you will devour this and it will be compulsory reading for all who take seriously the impact Eastern spirituality is having on the Western world." Ross Clifford, Principal, Morling Theological College, Sydney "This is a gripping personal account of how an honest and passionate seeker of truth found the One who is the Truth. This book is a record of a fascinating quest and an amazing discovery, and must be read by all who are seeking for meaning and love in the growing postmodern spiritual market place." Dr. Robert Solomon, Principal Trinity Theological College, Singapore

Sri Guru Granth Sahib is generally known as the holy scripture of Sikhism, the world’s fifth largest religion. But this holy scripture is neither a storybook nor just the philosophy of the Sikh saints or prophets. It is more like a collection of divine revelations and hymns, expressing the feelings of love and devotion of the Sikh Gurus for the Supreme Being, along with the similar yearnings and longings of the devotees and saints from all faiths prevalent in Indian subcontinent during those times. The beauty of this 1430 page hymnal written in 22 different languages lies in the fact that while it spiritually connects the human mind to the original source of eternal bliss, it provides a very practical and effective way to live in love and harmony with other fellow human beings irrespective of their faith, color, caste, creed, or race. The following are a few examples of the views of eminent writers and scholars regarding Sri Guru Granth Sahib: “Mankind’s religious future may be obscure, yet one thing can be foreseen. The living higher religions are going to influence each other more than ever before, in the days of increasing communications between all parts of the world and branches of the human race. In this coming religious debate, the Sikh religion and its scriptures, the Sri Guru Granth Sahib will have something of special value to say to the rest of the world.’ Arnold Toynbee- Historian “I have studied the scripture of great religions, but I do not find elsewhere the same power of appeal to the heart and mind as I find here in these volumes [of Sri Guru Granth Sahib]. There is something strangely modern about these scriptures. They speak to the people of any religion or of none. They speak for the human heart and the searching mind.” Mrs. Pearl S. Buck- Nobel Laureate In Volume two of the “It Is The Same Light” series (SGGS pages 201-400), author Daljit Singh Jawa continues his humble effort to share the beauty of the SGGS with those who have limited familiarity with the language (Gurumukhi), history, or context. The following are some of the comments received on the volume 1 (pages 1-200 of SGGS): “This translation of Guru Granth Sahib is one of the best English translations in my view, as it is in simple understandable English, each shabad’s summary message is given, there is connection between the shabads to reveal continuity of thought process in Guru ji’s message. Thanks to S Daljit Singh ji for the great work which will benefit future generations understand Guru Ji’s message easily.” -Amarjit Singh, M.D., University at Buffalo, Buffalo, NY “A monumental undertaking, reflecting a lifetime of devotion to the Sri Guru Granth Sahib and to the scholarly study of its voluminous texts. Both its rendition of the original Gurmukhi script, with accompanying English transliteration, and its erudite commentary on each of the Granth’s many hymns mark this work as a stunning achievement which will benefit all serious students of the Sikh religion and of world religions in general.” -Barry Crawford, Ph.D., Washburn Univesity, Topeka, Kansas
