Paramahansa Yogananda: Three Paths to Cosmic Consciousness | Nirvikalpa Samadhi

Samadhi is a joyous experience, a splendid light in which you behold the countless worlds floating in a vast bed of joy and bliss. Banish the spiritual ignorance that makes you think this mortal life is real. Have these beautiful experiences for yourself in eternal samadhi, in God. Auroras of light, skyfuls of eternal bliss will be opened to you. All great teachers declare that within this body is the immortal soul, a spark of That which sustains all. He who knows his soul knows this truth: “I am beyond everything finite; I now see that the Spirit, alone in space with Its ever new joy, has expressed Itself as the vast body of nature. I am the stars, I am the waves, I am the Life of all; I am the laughter within all hearts, I am the smile on the faces of flowers and in each soul. I am the Wisdom and Power that sustain all creation.” Paramahansa Yogananda, Man’s Eternal Quest • Paramahansa Yogan... 📚 BOOKS by Paramahansa Yogananda Autobiography of a Yogi Man’s Eternal Quest The Divine Romance Journey to Self-Realization The Second Coming of Christ: The Resurrection of the Christ Within You God Talks with Arjuna: The Bhagavad Gita Where There Is Light: Insight and Inspiration for Meeting Life’s Challenge Scientific Healing Affirmations Metaphysical Meditations: Universal Prayers, Affirmations, and Visualizations Law of Success: Using the Power of Spirit to Create Health, Prosperity, and Happiness Living Fearlessly: Bringing Out Your Inner Soul Strengt How You Can Talk with God The Yoga of Jesus: Understanding the Hidden Teachings of the Gospels The Yoga of the Bhagavad Gita: An Introduction to India’s Universal Science of God-Realization The Holy Science, Swami Sri Yukteswar Sayings of Yoga Paramahansa Inner Peace: How to Be Calmly Active and Actively Calm Wine of the Mystic: The Rubaiyat of Omar Khayyam: A Spiritual Interpretation In the Sanctuary of the Soul: A Guide to Effective Prayer To Be Victorious in Life Intuition: Soul-Guidance for Life’s Decisions Finding the Joy Within You: Personal Counsel for God-Centered Living Only Love: Living the Spiritual Life in a Changing World THE SRF LESSONS The SRF Lessons teach you how to live a balanced and successful life by awakening your connection to the Divine. The SRF Lessons are a transmission of sacred knowledge that will uplift and transform all aspects of your life: a progressive, home-study program teaching meditation techniques and the essence of spirituality handed down through a renowned lineage of yoga masters — Mahavatar Babaji, Lahiri Mahasaya, Swami Sri Yukteswar, and Paramahansa Yogananda — and available to you. The Lessons were originated by Paramahansa Yogananda. At the core of his teachings is a powerful system of meditation techniques: the Kriya Yoga science of meditation. This ancient science of the soul—to which millions have been introduced by Autobiography of a Yogi and other books by him—provides powerful methods for awakening higher spiritual consciousness and the inner bliss of divine realization. From the very first Lesson, you receive definite methods by which you can experience the benefits of meditation immediately. While building a solid foundation for deep meditation, you will learn three powerful techniques taught by Paramahansa Yogananda as necessary first steps in the comprehensive spiritual science of Kriya Yoga: Energization Technique and Exercises, Hong-Sau Technique of Concentration and Aum Technique of Meditation.
