This is a beloved classic book of the great yoga master, Paramhansa Yogananda (1893-1952), author of Autobiography of a Yogi.

 First published in 1932, then revised in 1952, this version of Metaphysical Meditations is faithful to the original writing of Yoganandaji, with all his deep inspiration, uniquely and eloquently expressed. He makes spiritual wisdom seem both natural and accessible to all readers.

God and our higher Self become “the nearest of the near, and the dearest of the dear.” His words in this book remain with us, loved and remembered, reverberating within our hearts and minds, reassuring us with love and strength. At the bedside, by the meditation asan, and while traveling—one can choose no greater companion than Metaphysical Meditations.

This is the first opportunity to have Swami Kriyananda’s complete Bhagavad Gita, itself in Hindi.

Most of the verses (slokas) in this edition of the Bhagavad Gita have already appeared in Swamiji’s much larger book The Essence of the Bhagavad Gita Explained by Paramhansa Yogananda. However, some of the Gita verses were intentionally left out of the earlier publication. Swamiji’s omitted slokas include most of Chapter One, which he merely summarized, and the first ten verses of Chapter Two. 

Though small in size, this edition of the Gita is pierced through with shafts of light from a towering spiritual figure—Yogananda. With this volume, India’s sacred scripture is at your fingertips for inspiration on your own daily battleground of life.
