How did Swamiji radiate this magical quality of divine friendship, and how can we follow in his footsteps?

Swamiji’s guiding love didn’t end with his passing — it remains available to anyone who reaches for it inwardly.

We live in a sea of miracles, though we recognize only the big ones and ignore the small ones. In fact, most people can accept only the big ones as true miracles at all. One of these occurred with Swami Kriyananda, and w

Paramhansa Yogananda said that a yogi should be able to stand unshaken amidst the crash of breaking worlds. In celebrating the centennial of Swami Kriyananda’s birth, I want to share a few episodes from his life that ill

Have you ever felt the nagging sensation that you need to change something in yourself, but you don’t quite know what it is? The first step in overcoming a challenge is to bring it to the surface of your awareness and cl

When one looks at the news, it is hard to make sense of what is happening in these turbulent times. Yet the more we focus on current events, the harder it becomes to see the bigger picture. Is there a deeper reason for t
