The New Path

Paperback: 660 pages

Description

The New Path is the fascinating tale of one man's search for truth. It is often considered a companion to Autobiography of a Yogi, for it continues Yoganandaji's story past where he ended its pages.

This first-hand account reveals through the disciple's eyes his life and training with his guru during the last four years of his life. Swami Kriyananda presents Yoganandaji as a true spiritual sage and master, indeed an avatar, whose work in the West revolutionized how people perceive themselves and their life purpose. He tells over four hundred stories about the great Master, including rare anecdotes of times at his desert retreat and his mahasamadhi.

The New Path recounts how as a young man J. Donald Walters examined and discarded as false many of the promises offered by modern society.

Gradually he realized that lasting human happiness comes not from outer success, but from deepening spiritual awareness. Eventually his searching brought him to the door of one of the spiritual giants of this century, Paramhansa Yogananda, author of Autobiography of a Yogi.

What ensues is Swami Kriyananda's spiritual training under Yogananda, who showed him a clear path to the attainment of spiritual ideals through the practice of the science of deep yoga meditation. The yoga philosophy and way of life are explained vividly through stories and sayings from Kriyanandaji's experience of living with Yogananda.

Living the spiritual life, as a close disciple of Yogananda eventually inspired Swami Kriyananda to found a spiritual community and worldwide movement, so as to better share with others Yogananda?s principles and teachings.

The New Path offers a wealth of practical and inspirational wisdom. Indeed, it holds for those seeking it the transforming power of a true spiritual classic.
