In this new book, Swami Satchidananda and his senior students offer information and guidance on our food choices and their effect on our Yoga practice, lives, and our planet. Swami Satchidananda taught that the manner in which we eat can create a body and mind that is sattvic (pure, balanced, yogic). In addition to proof of the positive effects of a clean, wholesome, plant-based diet on our bodies, minds, and lives, The Yoga Way discusses how to eat for maximum health and vitality. Both new and established vegetarians/ vegans will benefit from information on when to eat, when too fast, the properties of food, as well as a sample 7-day meal plan with recipes. Includes a foreword by Dean Ornish, M.D.

Although the author is considered by hundreds of thousands of seekers and devotees throughout the world as their beloved and revered Gurudev, it may be noted that he never refers to himself as a Guru. With the true Catholicism of a genuinely spiritual person, he does not limit the Guru either to any one person or anyone tradition. In fact, ultimately he says, The Guru is the inner Light or Spirit or consciousness within each person. We hope this small book proves inspiring and instructive, not only to disciples of Sri Swamiji, but also to students of other Masters, to those who have yet to discover their own Master, an to all spiritual seekers everywhere.

Kailash Journal is the true story of a rare physical experience and an even rarer spiritual one. This is a narrative written in Sri Swami Satchidananda's own words and illustrated with photographs he took during his pilgrimage to Holy Mount Kailash in Tibet”an eight-hundred-mile journey, on foot, to an altitude of 19,000 feet. Within the heart of this thrilling travelogue, however, lies another story: the quest for direct knowledge of God and the result of that quest.

The Bhagavad Gita tells the story of how Arjuna, the great warrior, is seated in his chariot about to engage in battle, when he sees his own kinsmen and his revered teacher arrayed in battle against him, and feels that he cannot fight. It is then that Krishna, the Cosmic Lord, comes to counsel him. Arjuna represents the human soul seated in the chariot of the body and Krishna is the inner Spirit, the God within, who is there to consel him. Today we see humanity divided against itself and threatened with nuclear war and mutual destruction. No political means are adequate to deal with this problem, and many are driven to despair. It is then that the message of the Gita comes to teach us that it is only when we rise above human schemes and calculations and awake to the presence of the indwelling Spirit that we can hope to find the answer to our need.

These daily inspirational readings contain Swami Satchidananda's teachings on the spiritual life”how to serve others and realize peace, truth, and union with the divine. Culled from twenty-five years of lectures to spiritual seekers in the West and the East, these readings are expressed with the simplicity and authority of one who speaks from his own experience. What is purity of heart? It's a heart full of tranquility and peace. Having a steady mind, a balanced mind, is what you call purity of heart. You must be well balanced between the dualities: the ups and downs, the pleasure and pain, the profit and loss. If the mind is free from turbulence, then the seer can see its own nature. If your heart is pure and steady, you can see God reflected in that steady heart.
