REVIEW:
This acclaimed autobiography presents a fascinating portrait of one of the great spiritual figures of our time. With engaging candor, eloquence, and wit, Paramahansa Yogananda narrates the inspiring chronicle of his life: the experiences of his remarkable childhood, encounters with many saints and sages during his youthful search throughout India for an illumined teacher, ten years of training in the hermitage of a revered yoga master, and the thirty years that he lived and taught in America. Also recorded here are his meetings with Mahatma Gandhi, Rabindranath Tagore, Luther Burbank, the Catholic stigmatist Therese Neumann, and other celebrated spiritual personalities of East and West.
Autobiography of a Yogi is at once a beautifully written account of an exceptional life and a profound introduction to the ancient science of Yoga and its time-honored tradition of meditation. The author clearly explains the subtle but definite laws behind both the ordinary events of everyday life and the extraordinary events commonly termed miracles. His absorbing life story thus becomes the background for a penetrating and unforgettable look at the ultimate mysteries of human existence.
Considered a modern spiritual classic, the book has been translated into more than twenty languages and is widely used as a text and reference work in colleges and universities. A perennial bestseller since it was first published sixty years ago, Autobiography of a Yogi has found its way into the hearts of millions of readers around the world.

REBOBS: THE FLYING MONKEYS OF NAPA VALLEY

Rebobs are creatures of which little is known, and conflicting accounts have been given of them. A small town in Napa Valley was once home to the Patrick family. Patrick Road, which is named for them, is supposedly the home of the mysterious Rebobs. Rumors of the Rebobs have been spread for decades, though there is no real consensus on the characteristics of the creatures. VARYING DESCRIPTION: The one feature of the Rebobs most people appear to agree on - though not everyone agrees on - is that they are monkey-like in appearance. But from there, accounts can vary wildly. One legend says that they are half-monkey, half-robot, and have wings. Another tells of a scientist combining monkeys and humans, which resulted in the Rebobs. Yet another version says they are a part bat. And still, another adds that the Rebobs have long fangs and claws in addition to wings. One account described the Rebobs as being covered in branches and looking like walking plants, which is, of course, a co...

FROG IN THE WELL

There was a frog that lived in a shallow well. “Look how well off I am here!” he told a big turtle from the Eastern Ocean. “I can hop along the coping of the well when I go out, and rest by a crevice in the bricks on my return. I can wallow to my heart's content with only my head above water, or stroll ankle deep through soft mud. No crabs or tadpoles can compare with me. I am master of the water and lord of this shallow well, what more can a fellow ask? Why don't you come here more often to have a good time? " Before the turtle from the Eastern Ocean could get his left foot into the well, however, he caught his right claw on something. So he halted and stepped back then began to describe the ocean to the frog. “It’s more than a thousand miles across and more than ten thousand feet deep. In ancient times there were floods nine years out of ten yet the water in the ocean never increased. And later there were droughts seven years out of eight yet the water in the oc...

MEDITATION

AUTHOR: By Aleister Crowley YEAR PUBLISHED: Published August 24th, 2015 PAGE COUNT: Kindle Edition, 46 pages ASIN: B014G6D5DW REVIEW: Based on instruction from Liber ABA, Book 4, widely considered to be the magnum opus of 20th-century occultist Aleister Crowley. The most concise introduction to yogic meditation I've encountered, and in typical Crowley form, one of the least compromising. Traditional yet non-mystical, specific in its description of the progressively objective states of consciousness and the steps taken to attain them, it is evident that he is presenting what he has personally verified by experience.
