About the book: 2001 / “The Path” is a fascinating story of the search for Truth. Swami Kriyananda talks about how, in his younger years, he considered and rejected many of the false opportunities presented by modern society. Gradually, he realized that true human happiness comes not from external “success,” but from deepening spiritual awareness. Finally, his search led him to one of the spiritual giants of the 20th century - Paramahansa Yogananda (“Autobiography of a Yogi”). This was followed by spiritual training under the guidance of Paramahansa Yogananda. Paramahansa Yogananda showed him a clear path to achieving spiritual ideals through the practice of the science of deep yogic meditation. Inspirational stories and narrations of life with a self-realized Master vividly depict the philosophy of yoga and its corresponding lifestyle. Being a close disciple of the Master, living only for God, Swami Kriyananda, in order to widely disseminate the principles and teachings of Paramahansa Yogananda, created large spiritual communities of Kriya Yogis in America, Europe and India, thereby realizing Paramahansa Yogananda’s dream of spiritual settlements, which, according to his foresight, should become future the main way of life on earth. The Way is a treasure trove of practical and inspirational wisdom. Those who seek it will experience the transformative power of a true spiritual classic in the book..
