The Wheel of Life
- Elisabeth Kübler-Ross
This book is essentially about spirituality in action — facing whatever life throws at us with an open heart and determination to make a difference. Nobody has done more than Kübler-Ross to bring comfort, understanding and dignity to the dying, and in this book she shares her personal journey from the depths of despair and compassion visiting the Nazi concentration camps shortly after the end of the last World War to the realization that human consciousness survives death and that the most important thing that we can do in this life is to love. You won't find any spiritual dogma in this book, just the memories of an open-minded, tough, spirited and open-hearted pioneer who cared deeply. |

Buddhism Without Beliefs / Stephen Batchelor
This book was a bit of a surprise. There are many
books written by Western Buddhists and most cover the
basics adequately. But with this little book, Stephen
Batchelor has done a fantastic job of illuminating
the very heart and essence of Buddhism, stripping away
the beliefs and rituals that unfortunately formalize
it into a religion in many people's minds. By doing
this, he has avoided writing just another religious
book, but rather a simple guide to awakening (which
is, after all, what the Buddha himself was trying to
do). |

Working with Angels / William Bloom
I have heard Bloom lecture several times and each
time I am impressed by his wisdom and sincerity. In
this book, he presents a compelling description of
the angel, fairy and spirit realm and shows how we
can cooperate with these "invisible" beings
if we make that an intention. This book has a very
wide scope and is filled with anecdotes and the author's
personal experience. A very lovely and inspiring read! |

Walking Between The Worlds / Gregg
Braden
Subtitled "The Science of Compassion",
this book is a potentially life-changing book on how
to live our lives with and in compassion. I am always
surprised at Braden's books because he never falls
into the wishy-washy New Ageism that is so rampant
in the United States spiritual movement. Quoting from
the Essene gospels, Braden presents a thoroughly Western
spirituality that is literally a God-send for freethinkers
who do not want to escape into Eastern philosophies
and practices, and he presents it in a beautiful and
very open and honest manner. |

The Wisdom of No Escape / Pema Chodron
Pema Chodron was one of the foremost students of
Chogyam Trungpa, and she seems to embody a softer but
equally insightful wisdom to her teacher's. This book
is about embracing life and the human condition. There
is ultimately no escape from this. Although the human
condition can seem very painful, Chodron shows us that
only by meeting it full on, only by accepting ourselves
and our limitations exactly as they are, can we find
true loving-kindness towards ourselves and others.
If we try to avoid this total acceptance, we mistakenly
cause more suffering. |
| |
|
|
 |
|
When Things Fall Apart / Pema Chodron
Chodron takes us into the very empty heart of Buddhism
and how it can give us the strength to face our confused
and chaotic lives head on. She encourages us to directly
approach the difficult emotions and feelings that life
inevitably throws up at us with a sense of curiosity
and acceptance, rather than our usual endless avoidance
of pain and discomfort. By doing this, we learn how
to be truly happy inside — conformable with hopelessness — rather
than grasping for ephemeral happiness outside. By being
so uncomforting, this book brings us true comfort. |

Advice on Dying / His Holiness the Dalai Lama
This book is about dying, and in learning to accept
its inevitability, we can live a better and more fulfilling
life. The Dalai Lama encourages us, through the excellent
translation and editing by Jeffey Hopkins, to focus
on impermanence, and in so doing release ourselves
from attachments that can cloud our minds at the moment
of death. Hi message is very much one of urgency, because
our death could always be imminent. This might all
sound rather morbid to the Western mind, but in fact
it is liberating to face our greatest fear head on
and to use its energy to drive our spiritual practice. |
| |
|
|
 |
|
Transforming the Mind / His Holiness the Dalai
Lama
This is an excellent introduction to transforming
the mind using the "Eight Verses", perhaps
the most important text from the lojong Tibetan writings.
Here, the Dalai Lama shows how to enhance compassion,
cultivate balanced attitudes towards oneself and others,
develop positive ways of thinking and transform adverse
situations into conditions conducive to spiritual development. |
| |
|
|
 |
|
Still Here / Ram Dass
Still Here was written much later in Ram Dass's
life, and is a book about honouring and accepting the
process of growing old and (hopefully) wiser. What
a blessing it is to have someone so high profile in
our culture express how positive old age can be and
how it is cornerstone in the life of those seeking
spiritual fulfilment. This book should be given to
every person in retirement homes in order to help counteract
the negative beliefs that most of us hold about old
age, letting go and dying. |

|

|
The Only Dance There Is / Ram Dass
Formally a Harvard professor and brilliant psychologist,
Richard Alpert journey to India in 1967 in search of
Eastern wisdom. He returned a year later by the name
of Ram Dass (a name given to him by his guru) and set
about being one of the first western embodiments of
Eastern philosophy and wisdom. Ram Dass has always
retained his ordinary humility and humanity (unlike
many western teachers) and his brilliant mind has meant
that he has been able to express, quite beautifully
and humorously, some of that wisdom in this book. |

Naked Buddhism / David Deida
Deida writes beautifully and in a way that speaks
to the heart. In Naked Buddism, Deida exposes the essence
of Buddhism in a way that no writer has done before,
and in a manner that is lucidly easy for the Western
mind to understand. This book is about learning to
open up, let go and love. There is nothing new about
this message. But the way Deida does it is so sublime
and so effective that just reading his words will change
you. This is definitely not a book to miss. (If you
are interested in Buddhism per se, this might not be
the book for you.) |

Fast Lane to Heaven / Ned Dougherty
This is a book about a man who owned one of the
most popular nightclubs in the Hamptons and how a near
death experience changed his entire life. A heart attack
in his mid-thirties pushes Dougherty into a celestial
realm were he met past relatives, friends, divine beings,
as well as the golden light of God. He is also told
about the future and given warning for humanity if
it does not mend its ways. Dougherty comes back a changed
man, loses his nightclub, completely reprioritization
his life and finds, for the first time, true happiness. |

Good Life, Good Death / Rinpoche Nawang
Gehlek
A lovely book by a lovely man. Rinpoche Gehlek
is the grand nephew of the 13th Dalai Lama and one
of the last high Lamas fully educated in Tibet. He
has been based in America now for the past few decades
where he teachers Buddhism to Buddhists, Hollywood
actors, composers and musicians. Gehlek's gift is to
answer the very basic questions of life in plain language. |

The Prophet / Kahlil Gibran
Sublime… Gibran's book The Prophet is a spiritual
classic that speaks deeply to our hearts and souls with
unfathomable wisdom. Published back in the 1920s, this
beautiful book, which it has to be said has unfortunately
become something of a cliché due to over-quoting,
deals with simple, everyday life and how to live it wisely.
There are very few books indeed that bypass the mind
and speak directly to the soul, and Gibran's is certainly
one of them. And now that the copyright has expired
you can find it for free online (including here at
EnergyGrid). |

Ask the Angels / Rosemary Ellen Guiley
Angels are becoming very popular here in the West,
with our penchant for a personal connection with the
divine. Guiley introduces us in this book to the whole
hierarchy of angels, from the 22 Master Angels of Life
that govern aspects of our daily lives such as love,
relationships, healing, strength and forgiveness, to
the Nine Angels of the Higher Order who guide our spiritual
growth. She gives us appropriate prayers to contact
each of the different angels, as well as methods to
meet our personal guardian angel. |

Creating True Peace / Thich Nhat Hanh
This is an inspiring and timely book for these
violent times we are currently living in. Bringing
together stories, insights and teachings in one beautifully
woven tapestry, Thich Nhat Hanh describes our responsibility
to water the inner seeds of love, peace and harmony,
rather than those of hatred, anger and ignorance. This
is a very inspiring book by a man who not only walks
his talk, but one whose writings have been described
by Sogyal Rinpoche as "the voice of the Buddha". |
| |
|
|
 |
|
The Heart of the Buddha's Teaching / Thich Nhat
Hanh
If you want a structured book on the essence of
Buddhism then you can't do better than this. Many people
don't realize that Thich Nhat Hanh is not just a very
loving Buddhist monk, he is also an expert scholar
on Buddhism, its doctrines and its origins. This book
is more formal than his others, covering the Four Noble
Truths, the Noble Eightfold Path, and other teachings
of Buddhism, but don't let that put you off. Even though
he speaks with authority, he is able to speak to the
heart with his lucid and poetic writing style. |
| |
|
|
 |
|
The Miracle of Mindfulness / Thich Nhat Hanh
A beautiful book by a beautiful man. Thich Nhat
Hanh presents a manual on meditation, showing us how
meditation is so much more than sitting cross-legged
on the ground humming "om"s! In the true sense
of the word, meditation is mindfulness in the present
moment, and we can meditate doing practically any activity
provided that we are attentive. This is a classic from
one of the few high profile Eastern masters to remain
unchanged (and unspoiled) by relocating to the West. |

The Bhagavad Gita - A Walkthrough for Westerners
/ Jack Hawley
There are many translations of this great Indian
scripture, but this one is particularly lucid to the
Western mind. The Bhagavad Gita is an epic mystical
poem about life, death, love and duty that has been
a source of inspiration for Eastern spiritual seekers
for over five thousand years. It is the story of Arjuna,
a wise and compassionate warrior prince, who falters
as he faces battle in a divided kingdom, where he knows
he must kill people who were once dear to him. He turns
to his friend Krishna, an Avatar who is also his charioteer,
who then explains to him the ultimate nature of reality
behind all this confusion. |

The Journey to You / Ross Heaven
One of the best introductions to Shamanism by a gifted
shaman and writer. Heaven updates Shamanism and gives
it a contemporary ideological foundation. He also
gives practical advice on how to make this journey
to ourselves, the challenges that we will face and
a description of some of the landscape along the
way. His book is wonderfully illustrated with inspirational
stories. |
| |
|
|
 |
|
The Unity of Being / Steven Henson
What strikes me most about Steven Henson's new
book, The Unity of Being, is the courage and integrity
of the author to undergo the "spiritual process" without
clinging to religious dogma. It might sound easy, but
even in "New Age" circles, we can actually
blunt the processes of spiritual purification and uncovering
by clinging too tightly to our belief systems. Henson
vividly describes the humbling process of becoming
wise, introduces us to his Sufi teacher Bulent Rauf,
and shows us the unity of all things in God. This is
a book with true depth, a universal appeal and one
that demands mindful reading. |

Balancing Heaven and Earth / Robert
A. Johnson
Johnson is a renowned Jungian psychoanalyst and
bestselling author of books such as We, She and He.
His writings are sublime, and if you have never read
them, you are missing profound Western wisdom. These
memoirs were dictated to Jerry Ruhl to create his autobiography.
He describes how Westerners generally need a Western
approach to the spiritual journey and by example shows
how this heroic journey can be undertaken. This will
be a profound book for those who feel alien to the "empty" spiritual
approaches of the East. |
| |
|

Urban Shaman / Serge Kahili King
This book outlines the art of shamanism from the
Hawaiian perspective. King is a psychologist who has
studied shamanism with masters from both Africa and
Hawaii. In this book he presents practical guidance
on applying ancient Huna wisdom to our modern lives,
including dream interpretation, methods of healing
the body, relationships and the environment, seeing
into the future and making vision quests to other realities. |
| |
|
|
 |
|
Reality / Peter Kingsley
This book is nothing short of pure genius. Reality
introduces the world to the real Parmenides and the
extraordinary mystical traditions that lie at the roots
of western culture. If you think that mediation, inner
contemplation and cycles of rebirth belong solely to
Eastern spiritual traditions, this book will change
that world view. The West has a remarkable spiritual
heritage, but it has been lost for millennia until
Kingsely, with writing can only be described as sublime,
rediscovered it. |

A Path With Heart - Jack Kornfield
Jack Kornfield is the wisest of teachers because
he is not afraid to own his basic humanity, and his mistakes.
He presents himself and his teachings as nothing special,
and in so doing includes each of us as his brothers and
sisters on the path to spiritual unfoldment. This book
is a travelogue for those on the spiritual path, and
Kornfield's vast and varied experience on this path allows
him to show us what spirituality actually is and what
it means to pursue this path, and perhaps even more importantly,
what it is not and the pitfalls that await. Kornfield
also presents some simple meditative exercises to allow
the reader to grasp things for him or herself. Highly
recommended. |
| |
|
|
 |
|
After the Ecstasy, The Laundry / Jack Kornfield
Kornfield is a leading American Buddhist teacher
and psychologist — one of the first of a generation
of Western seekers to have brought back the wisdom
of the East from his time spent in the monasteries
of Thailand, Burma and India. In this magnificent book
he draws up on the wisdom of from many religious traditions,
showing the common essence of humanity at the core
of all spiritual practice. And he does it in a way
that is easily understandable to the Western mind.
This book, with a cheesey title, is filled with inspiration
and personal testimonies by ordinary people, and is
definitely one of THE most inspiring books around. |

Blessing Power of the Buddhas / Norma
Levine
What a joy to read a spiritual book that isn't
trying to teach you something! Levine takes us on a
magical journey into the remotest places in Nepal,
Sikkim, Ladakh and Tibet. She ostensibly writes about
sacred objects but her book actually penetrates to
the very heart of human devotion to the divine. You
cannot hope to read a more touching and beautiful account
of Buddhism in practice. |

The Secret Science Behind Miracles
/ Max Freedom Long
This is one of the very first books that hinted
at the power and sophistication of the Huna tradition
on the islands of Hawaii. Written back in 1948 from
his journeys in the islands during the previous decades,
this book gives an insigtful and inspiring introduction
into Hawaiian Shamanism as practiced by the Kahunas,
or the "Keepers of the Secret". A fantastic
and inspiring adventure into native Shamanism. (There is evidence to suggest that Max Long never even met the man he claims taught him about the Hawaiian religion, but his books are inspiring none the less and worth a read.) |

Carry Me Home - Catherine Lucas
Carry Me Home begins with a personal tragedy and
then weaves an intimate journey of healing and acceptance
to spiritual wholeness. Lucas was brought up an atheist — cynical
about all things spiritual. At seventeen, she suffered
a terrible accident that killed her mother and left her
emotionally scared. This is the inspiring story of how
a brave and determined woman transmuted pain and guilt
into a spiritual realization that shines through at the
end. The journey is not easy and takes many years, but
it is a journey that she successfully makes. You will
find no dogma here, just an honest, open and beautiful
account of the process of individuation that we all face
at some point in our spiritual evolution. |

I Am That / Sri Nisargadatta Maharaj
Maharaj was an ordinary and largely uneducated
storekeeper in Bombay who, when he was middle-aged,
met a guru who taught him a mantra and how to meditate
everyday. This simple practice lead to an explosion
of awakening within Maharaj and the simple shopkeeper
transformed into an illuminating and enlightened teacher.
This book is a large series of dialogues with Sri Nisagadatta
covering almost every aspect of our lives, and unlike
many other teachers, the questioner is permitted to
carry on a line of questioning and really put the teacher
to the test. A fantastic book and worth every penny
of the relatively high price. |

Buddhism: The Plain Facts / R. Mann & R. Youd
If you want to learn about Buddhism or to teach
another about it, this is one of the best introductions
that you will find. The authors write from their own
experience as practicing Buddhists (is there any other
kind!) in a very simple and mindful manner about the
central tenets of Buddhism and its relation to many
different aspects of ordinary life. |
| |

|
The Magus of Strovolos / Kyriacos C. Markides
This book was a total surprise. Bought from a bookshop
just because it had a good testimonial by Colin Wilson
on the back, The Magus of Strovolos shows itself to
be a heavyweight in the profoundity department — well written and facinating. And it suffers none of
the shallow pop-wisdom that seems to permeate current
spiritual literature, which is why it was never a bestseller
when it was published in 1985. Markides records in
this book the actions, testimony and teachings of a
healer in Cyprus called Daskalos who presents a glimpse
into the world of a modern day shaman. |

The Psychic Protection Handbook
- Caitlín Matthews
Ostensibly, this is a very good book on psychic
protection. Nothing new in that — there are many
around. What sets this book apart from the others is
its sheer scope and the wisdom of its author. Matthews,
who runs a shamanic practice in the UK, has produced
a gem of a psychic and psychological handbook, one
that even those not needing protection at this time
can benefit from. She covers everything from dealing
with fear, difficult relationships and overcoming negative
feelings, to avoiding psychic disturbances and becoming
attuned to spiritual guidance. This is a hands-on book
in that you need to do the meditations and visual guidances
she suggests so that the book's wisdom becomes real
for you. |

Spiritual Enlightenment
- Jed McKenna
Perhaps this book is out of place in the spiritual section of this site because there is not a lot that most people would consider "spiritual" about it. This book is about waking up from the dream, and that includes the "spiritual" dream that we all play. Enlightenment, from McKenna's perspective, is the end state of mind when we realize that the "I" that defines our experience is an illusion and that we are just bit-parts in a movie. McKenna book is direct and promotes a Zen approach to enlightenment, which will only appeal to individuals with a mind rather than a heart focus on reality. But it does cut through a lot of spiritual crap! |

Dark Nights of the Soul / Thomas Moore
A gem of a book for those facing troubled times:
Moore shows us the difference between wanting healing
as quickly as possible, and letting go to the darkness.
The first can leave our soul untouched as we strive
to restore ourselves to the light as quickly as possible.
The second option of embracing the darkness, on the
other hand, has the ability to open us up to the wisdom
of the heart. This is a profound message; one that
is not understood by many people in our current "doing" culture.
It requires patience, reflection, commitment, humility
and, above all, courage. Moore has the rare ability
to convey real wisdom through his words, despite the
limitations of language. |

|
Play of Consciousness / Swami Muktananda
It is a shame that Muktananda's life in his later
years here were marred by controversey (sexual abuse
of his followers), for he still remains truly one of
the great teachers of Eastern spirituality. This book
is an autobiographical account of his path to enlightenment,
and unlike many Western authors, he writes from the
authority of experience and the dedication of many,
many years in silent retreat and meditation. Although
this book is not a guide to meditation, it is facinating
all the same. |
| |
|
|
 |
|
Diamond Mind / Rob Nairn
A book written so beautifully and with such wisdom
that reading it is an act of meditation in itself -
almost! Rob Nairn is a psychologist who goes to the
heart of the meditative experience without introducing
mystical distractions. A fantastic book for understanding
the Western mind and deepening the meditative experience. |
| |
|
|
 |
|
The Door to Everything / Ruby Nelson
An inspirational little book of the type that are
no longer written. Nelson writes a fantastic little
book about the ascension qualities that we need in
order to approach the divine. This is a short discourse
on learning to have absolute trust and faith in God.
The book is written from an "alternative" Christian
point of view rather than an Eastern perspective. A
lovely and inspiring book that is a welcome relief
from the usual New Age rubbish on our bookshelves today. |

The Secrets & Mysteries of Hawaii
/ Pila of Hawaii
The islands of paradise, the Hawaiian islands,
hold an important place in the current transformations
that are currently happening globally. Pila, a Vietnam
veteran and NLP trainer takes the reader on a magical
journey that includes the islands' sacred sites, myths
and contemporary happenings that indicate a grand cosmic
plan that is unfolding at this delicate and monumental
time in history. After reading this book, you will
want to go to Hawaii, but not just to sit on the beach! |

The Nature of Personal Reality / Jane
Roberts
One of the founding authors of the so called New
Age movement, Jane Roberts was not your typical mystical
channeller of which you see many today. The entity
that she channelled, called Seth, did not utter sugary
platitudes but gave sound and personally empowering
advice… "You create your reality" and
"The point of power is the presen."
Roberts was as much a student of Seth as anybody else
and her own humanity, humility, intelligence and open-mindedness
are stamped indelibly in this book which is basically
a transcription of her channelling sessions by her
husband Robert Butts. |

Beyond Fear / Don Miguel Ruiz
By the author of the bestseller The Four Agreements,
this highly recommended book is a summary of Don Miguel's
Toltec teachings, and takes the reader through the
process of shedding fear, judgement and guilt. Some
of the revelations in this book (such as the central
role of the sun in defining our individual beings)
are quite astonishing as it shows how the alchemy of
Toltec teachings can cut through blocks that could
take years for conventional religions and/or psychotherapy.
Toltec teaching is a welcome relief for those who find
Buddhism too mental and soulless. |

The Tibetan Book of Living and Dying / Sogyal
Rinpoche
Sublime! This book is written by one of the greatest
living teachers of Tibetan Buddhism. And it shows.
The book is an inspiration from start to finish. Sogyal
Rinpoche was one of the last generation to go grow
up amongst the eminent masters in Tibet and his book
is a testimony to a wisdom that the Chinese have all
but tried to stamp out. This book is a classic… you
will not find a greater living authority on matters
of life and death from the Tibetan Buddhist perspective. |

Of Water and the Spirit / Malidoma Patrice Somé
Born in Burkina Faso region of West Africa, Somé was
kidnapped at the age of five by Jesuit priests and
brought up in a seminary school. At the age of nineteen,
however, he rebels against his education and the white
man's God, and returns to his people. There it is decided
that he should undergo the life and death spiritual
initiation that he had missed, as it would be the only
chance he would have to rediscover his true identity.
This book throws up the miraculous and the supernatural
with abandon, and matter-of-factly describes events
that leave the reader open-mouthed. |

|
Life and Teachings of the Maters of
the Far East / Baird Spalding
This is a 6 volume set of books that record the
journey of Baird Spalding to the Far East in the early
1900s. The book is about devotion to God. Whether the
journey really happened in the way that Spalding suggests
is immaterial. These books are classics and encapsulate
the very heart of the spiritual quest. If you are not
looking for another "how to" book but just
pure inspiration, then these books are for you. |

A New Earth
- Eckhart Tolle
Another gem from Tolle, A New Earth is a book about finding your inner purpose, which ultimately for all of us is to awaken. Awaken to what? To the present moment — to awaken in consciousness. That is it. And Tolle lucidly prescribes for this process in a way that few others are able, a process that examines the evolution of consciousness over the eons, the construction of the ego, and now in our present age the birth of a new consciousness and a new Earth that is withdrawing its support for the ego and its delusion. This book is both psychologically insightful and recipe for fundamental change. |
| |
|
|
 |
|
The Power of Now / Eckhart Tolle
You won't find a better guide to the art of staying
in the present — the true practice of spirituality.
Eckhart Tolle is one of the first Western teachers
of enlightenment who is not a product of Eastern religious
instruction, but of a spontaneous realization that
happened to him many years ago. He doesn't want followers,
you money, your allegiance or your heart, just for
you to be in the present moment as much as possible.
His astonishingly simple and paradoxically profound
message parallels Buddhism with its emphasis on bringing
the attention into the present moment. |

The Essential Chogyam Trungpa
Edited by Carolyn Rose Gimian, this is a fantastic
compilation of excerpts from fourteen of Trungpa's
books. The book is divided into forty sections that
cover everything from the path of the spiritual warrior
and to meditation and the relevance of Tibetan Buddhism
in modern society. Trungpa had a deep understanding
of the Western mind which gives his teachings a biting
edge often lacking in others. |
| |
|
|
 |
|
Shambhala / Chogyam Trungpa
Born in 1940 in Tibet, Trungpa Rinpoche was an
intellectual and spiritual giant — a recognized
major tulku who not only received the best education
Tibet could offer, but also studied at Oxford University.
As a consequence, he was one of the first Tibetan lamas
to teach Westerners in English, without the use of
an interpreter. His fearless approach and eloquence
made him one of the most influential figures in the
development of Buddhism in the West, especially in
America, where he was also renowned as an alcoholic
and a womaniser. This small book, is perhaps his best. |
| |
|
|
 |
|
Training the Mind / Chogyam Trungpa
Trungpa's classic on Buddhist Tonglen meditation.
Breath in suffering, breath out happiness; breath in
disease, breath out health. A recipe for disaster?
Paradoxically not… what we give away we keep.
Tonglen practice cultivates compassion for others and
selflessness in ourselves. The book has these words
on the back, "WARNING: Using this book could be
hazardous to your ego!" |

Tibetan Buddhism / B. Alan Wallace
The full title of this books is Tibetan Buddhism:
From the Ground Up. And that is exactly what it is.
A practical introduction written by an experienced
Western Buddhist for a Western readership, and requires
no blind faith or religious sentiment. This is a book
for independent and open-minded Westerners wondering
what the path of the Buddha has to offer in the modern
secular world. |

Gifts Of Unkown Things / Lyall Watson
Covers a journey that Watson made to a small volcanic
island in Indonesia and his encounter there with a
tribe of native people and more specifically a young
woman shaman. Watson is a distinguished biologist and
he combines fascinating insights into the fauna and
flora of the island with his struggle to understand
the shamanistic wisdom and power of a young woman.
(This is more of a story than a "how to" spiritual
book.) |

Introduction to Tantra / Lama Yeshe
If you think that tantra is about better sex, then
you should read this book. Lama Yeshe is a fully realized
tantric meditator, scholar and yogi who gives a very
lucid account, based on experience, of what tantra
actually is. Tantra is the path of spiritual growth
that uses aspects of ordinary life, be they sensory
pleasures or responsibilities, as the vehicle to enlightenment.
In fact, when done with a clear heart and altruistic
intentions, it is known to be one of the fastest routes
to reaching this state. (And for your information,
Lama Yeshe was a celibate monk.) |

Autobiography of a Yogi / Paramahansa
Yogananda
No other book has done as much as this one for
introducing Eastern spirituality and practice into
the West. Paramahansa Yogananda was one of the first
Hindu yogi to come over from India to set up teaching
centers in the United States. His spiritual practice
revolves around Kriya Yoga, the yoga of breath (although
there is no actual instruction in this book for this
technique which needs to be leaned from an actual
teacher). Autobiography of a Yogi is exactly that,
the life story of a man that witnessed miracles
because of his own devotion to God and his enormous
spiritual standing. This book has been a classic for
seekers on the spiritual path for many decades. Pure
