Meditation by Swami Sivananda

"Meditation is an experience that cannot be described, just as colors cannot be described to a blind man. All ordinary experience is limited by Time, Space and Causation. Our normal awareness and understanding do not transcend these bounds.

" Finite experience, which is measured in terms of past, present and future, cannot be transcendental. Concepts of time are illusory, for they have no permanence. The present, immeasurably small and fleeting, cannot be grasped. Past and future are non-existent in the present. We live in illusion."

"Autobiography of a Yogi" by Paramahansa Yogananada is one of the greatest spiritual books. His autobiography of a Yogi has inspired countless people to take up mediation and the spiritual life. The book exudes a spiritual consciousness and is a fascinating glimpse into the life of a real genuine Yogi.  The book tells the own spiritual journey of Yogananda from an aspiring seeker in India to his spiritual mission in the West.


Since Yogananda's arrival in America many Westerners have been introduced to Kriya Yoga meditation.

One day, while working on his autobiography,  Guru told us: "When I have left this world, this book will change the lives of millions. It will be my messenger when I am gone."
