This book is dedicated to my guru Paramhansa Yogananda (1893–1952), who brought the supreme technique of Kriya Yoga meditation to the West.

“The wholehearted practice of meditation brings deep bliss. This ever-new bliss is not born of desire; it manifests itself by the magic command of your inner, intuitive-born calmness. Manifest this serenity always.”

Paramhansa Yogananda
