Friendship, love, marriage, and children can offer us our greatest joys in life or our greatest sorrows. Selfless love is the essential key to happiness in all our relationships, but how do we practice it? In this book Paramhansa Yogananda, one of the best-loved spiritual teachers of the 20th century and author of Autobiography of a Yogi, shares fresh inspiration and practical guidance on: Friendship: broadening your sympathies and expanding the boundaries of your love, How to cure bad habits...
Friendship, love, marriage, children: Learn how selfless love is the central ingredient in your spiritual growth, and discover how to practice it. This is the third book in The Wisdom of Yogananda series which features writings not available elsewhere. They capture Yogananda's expansive and compassionate wisdom, his sense of fun, and his practical spiritual guidance. Graham Christian - Library Journal Yogananda may not precisely be a household name, but his Autobiography of a Yogi, first published in 1946 and rarely out of print thereafter, is widely regarded as one of the most important and influential spiritual titles of the 20th century. Yogananda himself, sometimes called "the father of Yoga in the West," was certainly crucially important in the popularization of Eastern Yogic tradition in America and Europe. This work gathers several articles written in the 1920s and 1930s, at the height of his popularity, on the application of yogic principles to human relationships, including friendship, marriage, and parenting. For most collections.
