Book Description
Most people surrender to and live through their life in mediocracy. They find life as boring when they make no attempt to gain knowledge that should inspire them. Understanding is our greatest need on the spiritual path and on the path of life, no matter what our trials. Remember God never causes harm or suffering to anyone. It is we who by understanding or misunderstanding help or hinder ourselves. The other aspect of life is, each one of us carries within us generations of human beings whose descendants we are. That is why, when we are able to triumph over our own weaknesses through knowledge and working on them, we take this inner family along with us on the path of light and freedom. Not only do we help all our ancestors, but we also help our descendants, for we pass on to them the inner treasures we have acquired. Working on self is all the more important since, in doing so, we improve entire generations: and pass on the fruits of our efforts to them. No one lives or acts solely for themselves; each person lives and acts for a great number of other creatures, for whom they have a great responsibility. The wisdom in this volume is not the studied learning of a scholar but the truth as perceived through learning from a Guru over 25 years, reading of many realized masters-Paramhansa Yoganand Ji in particular, studying life at large and mainly own Meditation practice. This book is designed to provide readers with a brief summary and overview of important individual topics and issues, for quick reference and ease in studying. The works are written in a question-and-answer format. They follow some logical progression so that those reading will receive a greater appreciation of the topic and issues involved. It is said by one realized master that life without understanding is Spiritual and Material suicide. Here Is an opportunity to learn and then make use of the learning for self-growth.

Book Description
101 Thought-Provoking Questions from the Everyday Therapist is a collection of questions from counselors-in-training and practitioners that encourage professionals and people who are passionate about mental health to reflect and think critically on a range of topics. Many of the questions don't fit neatly beneath the academic umbrella, and therefore, are not covered in coursework; however, they are essential and dive deep into the heart of what it means to be a helping professional and what it takes to do so. Each page of the book includes a thought-provoking prompt followed by blank space where readers can write down their thoughts and notes on each issue. The questions focus on a variety of topics within the areas of professional practice, religion and spirituality, sex and sexuality, ethics, and personal and professional identity. Designed to help readers participate in a journey of self-discovery, 101 Thought-Provoking Questions from the Everyday Therapist rips the veil of superficial discussion around mental health topics and is an enlightening and essential resource for anyone passionate about the mental health field.

Book Description
The Perfect Remedy for Cold Feet! More than half of all couples who become engaged this year will never make it to the altar. Why? Leading experts believe it's because couples fail to really get to know their potential mate before getting engaged. Relationship expert and noted couples counselor Norm Wright steers potential brides and grooms through a series of soul-searching questions to discern if they've really met "the One." Couples will be much more confident about whether or not to pursue marriage after completing these in-depth and personal questions. Norm also addresses the delicate subject of calling off the wedding if readers discover that a potential mate isn't actually meant to be a life partner.

Book Description
Noble award for physics, year 2022! Science has proved that the world is not real. New discoveries are turning scientists into philosophers. God has shifted His position from an extra-terrestrial heaven to the inner realm of human psyche. What was once explained in terms of divine creation is now in the purview of science. Now both science and Scriptures say that We create the world, Our own reality, with Our own ego, desires, mind and intellect. It cannot thus be said to be the absolute reality. Remember, our five senses are not our only means of knowledge. A fragment of reality sometimes reaches the intelligence in other ways which we are normally not aware of. Note that our reality is not the ultimate reality. Only we choose and observe it to be our reality. Whatever we are experiencing out there in the physical world is finally the experience of consciousness itself. As soon as we realize our own observation is the cause of everything, then we can decide to create another reality literally. Reality and truth are often misunderstood to convey the same meaning but strictly speaking they are not so. If we analyze these two words carefully, we can notice a subtle difference between them. Truth is always real; Reality is not always true. We need to know the truth which is through actual experience. Without realization, they are just ideas. Truth is within. The ultimate truth about Self, after knowing which nothing remains to be known, is a subject of search and research, reasoning and reflection, discussion and decision, and finally testing and experiencing it within. Every advance in knowledge brings us face to face with the mystery of our own being. This book is dwelling at length, from scientists stand point, as to how they say that the realities perceived at all the senses levels are illusions only. This book finally throws light on what is The Reality and what is The Truth; and at what platform it can be and must be perceived to get spiritual liberation and inner peace. Quite a number of mind-blowing concepts, theories are also given here - with few not even researched yet. The hidden Truth, you are told in this Spirituo-scientific exploration, will be of spiritual self- help nature. Finally, since it is all about us, our own higher dimensions only which normally we are not privy to, it is a must-read book for everyone and anyone for rising above sufferings of life and quicken our roller coaster journey of life through incarnations.

Book Description
God is and He can be known. There is a step-by-step method to realize Him. For this, you do not have to go anywhere but within yourself. Knowing yourself, as you truly are, is tantamount to knowing God, right there and then. “Go within” is what all Masters advocated for realizing the Truth and yet it is this message that is continuously overlooked. This book will show you how through meditation you can manifest it. The reading is an aid to assist you on your spiritual journey to Self-Realization. Countless saints of all times and religions have demonstrated that. And you can do it too. The sufferings of life in each incarnation will otherwise remain more or less the same. You will be born again, without your choice, in a certain environment of your own makings. You will again be living a life of mediocrity, limitation, pains, and pleasures, and largely aimless. But you can decide to get over the sufferings permanently and attain Nirvana, the ultimate realization, in this life itself. It is of little significance whether you have started your quest early or late in life. It is not always the first initiates on the journey who get to the infinite, for often the last become the first. One may say remembering God all the time may shift one’s focus from day-to-day jobs. Not so. Remember, if you merely look at the road and never actually travel it, you will not reach your goal. Not making sincere efforts, merely reading the lessons, or thinking about self-realization, will not take you there. You have to learn the principles and techniques and then put them into practice. Slowly and steadily, you will reach the summit for sure. Understand the difference between Knowing and Being. It does take a lot of effort to even know God, it is good progress that way. But it is not of much use till the realization is achieved, which requires different efforts. The purpose of this book is to help in achieving the realization. Remember what Bible says. First, seek the kingdom of God. The word used is ‘seek’ and not ‘know’. God has to be realized not just known. Then it says, seek the ‘kingdom of God’. It does not say to seek God directly, but the kingdom. Now the question is where is the kingdom of God? It is everywhere and the nearest place is our own existence, our body. Then the question may come, is there a model or path? Yes, Yoga. Which means that action that brings the union of soul and Spirit from which we descended. It is the yoga of the subtle body, a Union of mind and body control, with a focus on meditation and energetics. Meditation is not what you think. Yoga meditation helps to bring about greater peace, mental control, and joy leading to awakening. All saints who have ever found God practiced some form of meditation to rediscover the real Self. No matter what your faith is, or what your belief is, this is the scientific highway to the infinite for anyone whosoever practices it. This is the practice that will get rid of the boundation of birth and death. No salvation is possible until the kundalini awakening is achieved scientifically. And it does not happen accidentally. Learn the fundamentals and techniques of the science of all science – Kriyayoga. It is a science, eternal, and precedes all religions. This is the science every Human being should practice, in order to learn how to switch On and Off, the life force from the body at will. This science encompasses the practices outlined in Sankhya, Vedanta, and Yoga. All three ancient philosophies together constitute the truly scientific approach that promises to remove suffering from the roots so that they can never sprout or grow again. Practice is the key. Learn to know the Yog sutra, Yoga philosophy, and Yoga meditation science and techniques. Practice it and feel the effects yourself. Immediate benefits will be felt in physical health, mental health, and Spiritual health. Sooner, His presence will be felt within. Go for it, try it out. God will help you.

Book Description
We are all on a spiritual journey. The journey starts with ‘i’, as various ego identifications, and gets completed when we realize ourselves—as we truly are. There is a lot to our being that we are not privy to yet and have never realized so far. Know yourself—your real dimension. It is said that whoever doesn’t know the 'Self' doesn’t know anything, but whoever knows the 'Self' has already acquired knowledge about the depth of the universe. This 'self-realization' will lead to God’s realization. And it has to happen one day, maybe after a few hundred or thousands more incarnations, riding the roller coaster of life through pains and pleasures, etc. Why not now? The ignorance about the 'Self' leads to the emotional roller coaster movement in life, filled with pains and pleasures. But a stage comes in everyone’s life when, after suffering in many incarnations, a spiritual awakening is there and we start looking for spiritual direction. We start looking for meaning and purpose in life. Journey with me through the book about spirituality, Book 1, to learn about the 'Self', and find the purpose of life. That will bring freedom from suffering and sorrow. We will feel relieved once the confusion is removed. The journey through this book can help us transform from a limited ‘i’ to the infinite 'Self'. And we are already that. But that is not all. Knowing about 'Self' and God is good and an evolved stage, but we must realize it. Book 2 will inspire us towards that goal. We shall realize there that God is and can be known. There is a step-by-step method to realize Him. And for this, we do not have to go anywhere but within ourselves. “Go within” is what all Masters advocate for realizing the 'Truth', and yet it is this message that is continuously overlooked. This book will show us how, through meditation, we can manifest it. The reading will be an aid to assist us on our spiritual journey to self-realization. Countless saints of all times and religions have demonstrated that. And we can do it too. Remember what the Bible says. First, seek the kingdom of God. The word used is ‘seek’ and not ‘know.’ God must be realized, not just known. Then it says, ‘Seek the kingdom of God.’ It does not say to seek God directly, but the kingdom. Now the question is, where is the kingdom of God? It is everywhere, and the nearest place is our own existence—our body. Then the question may come: is there a model or path? Yes, Yoga. Yoga means actions that bring about the union of the Soul and the Spirit from which we descend. It is the yoga of the subtle body, a union of mind and body control, with a focus on meditation and energetics. Meditation is not what we commonly assume it to be. Yoga meditation helps to bring about greater peace, mental control, and joy, leading to awakening. All saints who have ever found God practiced some form of meditation to rediscover the real 'Self'. No matter our faith or belief, this is the scientific highway to the infinite for anyone who practices it. This spiritual guidebook will surely demand sufficient attention and stretching of the mind in certain places to understand the subtle subject. Remember, practice is the key. Learn to know the Yog sutra, Yoga philosophy, and Yoga meditation science and techniques. Practice it and feel the effects yourself. Immediate benefits will be felt in physical, mental, and spiritual health. Dear ones, conceive of God as the highest necessity of your lives. Wait no more. God and immortality are not myths but something to be realized. It is all science.

Book Description
There is a real need for a Guru if we are undertaking a spiritual journey. But before embarking on a spiritual path, we must honestly determine whether we are ready and whether our need for a guru is genuine, as opposed to just an emotional outburst. Ask yourselves this question: “Am I committed, or am I just involved?” We do not need a guru if we do not want God. The complications in life are so great that the poor mind is unable to handle them. When we are moving blindly through the valley of life, stumbling in darkness, we need the help of someone who has eyes, who has been on the path, who has followed it to the end, and who can tell us the right way to go. Guru is not the body; Guru is light; and Guru is wisdom. Light and wisdom are essential in human life. By divine right, the title of guru is conferred only upon those exalted souls who, through their own Self-realization and oneness with God, are qualified to lead others from the darkness of ignorance to the everlasting light of truth. He is a humble prophet or messenger, invested with the duty of showing the true spiritual way to ordinary people. God sends the seeker indirect guidance at first, through books and lesser teachers. When the desire for Him is very strong, He sends the help of a Self-realized guru. There are many who are trying to lead others but who have no right to do so. No one can take you to God unless he himself has found God. The blind can't lead the blind. There is also a difference between a Guru and a spiritual teacher. A teacher is one who has some experience, who can guide you to a certain point, and who is perhaps capable of transmitting some spiritual power, but he would not be a guru. That does not mean that spiritual teachers are bad, but they must recognize their limitations. They must see that they do not have all the answers. There is a need to exercise some prudence to distinguish a true guru from a sea of self-styled leaders. The fake gurus are all over the place, and they can hide themselves very well. It is thus difficult to differentiate between a fly-by-night Baba and a truly evolved Guru. Each one of us is susceptible to exhibiting docile “cult-follower” behavior in the right/wrong circumstances. People believe that “it can never happen to them” because they want to believe they are stronger and better than the millions who have fallen victim to alleged cult mind control. Mind control is alive and well and in many varied forms across many countries. A so-called cult will generally target the most educated, active, and capable people it can find. Such beliefs as “others could be made to do that but not me” and “others could be swayed by speeches but not me” are dangerous. The ease with which this happens is important for both scientific understanding and real-world problems ranging from friends and family in cults to extremist movements. The research by Stanford University, reproduced here, very well proves the same. But there is a great deal we can do to stay safe, sane, and whole and to help the people we care about. Spiritual search is indeed the inborn divine right of every human being. Knowledge and education are the birthrights of every human being. Do whatever we want; spirituality is our inner force, which has a constant pull. This pull becomes very strong at times. So strong that man has no choice. But he will have to make the right decision. Finally, it is God alone who is the true Guru, acting through the agency of souls that are awake in Him and who appear as spiritual advisors, sometimes spiritual masters, for our spiritual ascension—call it spiritual help—once we are ready. This book can be referred to as a spiritual journey book, advising on how do you go on a spiritual journey and safeguarding against cults and extreme beliefs. God help you.

Book Description
Most of us take for granted food's extreme role in our health. We eat habitually and not intentionally. Unfortunately, the media, government, and large corporations have sent so many mixed messages regarding diet and nutrition that most people are confused about the truth. The selection of food in a world that is undergoing rapid scientific and technological change may often be far from the best. Our health is strongly within our own power to control. You cannot reverse the aging process or prevent death, but you can prevent premature death and maintain a high quality of life and health well into the twilight years by adhering to the advice in this book. I hope to convince you to eat more nutrient-dense, health-promoting foods, and fewer other foods. And that, enough good options are available. Life is all about balance.
