Imagine yourself  walking into a huge mansion converted into a comfortable bookstore.  In the foyer, are the most special books, prominently displayed,  those written by my guru and my friends.

        If you're in a rush and don't have time to browse, just click a subject at the bottom of the page to get to the right room.

      Goswami Kriyananda has been my guru, my light on the spiritual path, for over twenty-five years.  I had the opportunity to experience the development of some of his books, first as notes for advanced classes for disciples, then, expanded into complete texts.  I refer to Spiritual Science of Kriya Yoga often when teaching a meditation class or planning my own hatha practice.  My favorite part is the description of the different levels of yama and niyama - the abstentions and observances of Patanjali's Ashtanga Yoga.
 
 
 
 
 

The first astrology class I ever took was with Kriyanandaji.  He used to have an open class every Friday night.  He combined down-to-earth explanations of the signs and planets with a metaphysical point of view.  As one of Chicago's top astrologers, he shared his many years of experience. The Wisdom and Way of Astrology is a good text for beginning students.  I took many astrology classes with Kriyanandaji, including the excellent Professional Astrology Course.

The teachings of Kriya Yoga are about  understanding the law of Karma so that we can make wise choices and our actions will be compassionate to others and move us toward God consciousness.  Goswami Kriyananda has made a life long study of these principles and his book The Laws of Karma shows how you can manifest your divine creativity and soften your karma.

There's plenty more books and classes on tape at the Temple of Kriya Yoga website.  They have a physical plane bookstore at the Temple at 2414 N. Kedzie Blvd in Chicago, too.
 

Some of my friends have written books too.  Look here.
