Born in Gorakhpur, Uttar Pradesh, on January the 5th, 1893, Sri Sri
Paramahansa Yogananda devoted his life to helping people of all
races and creeds to realize and express more fully in their lives
the beauty, nobility and true divinity of the human spirit. After
graduating from Calcutta University in 1915, Sri Yogananda was
initiated into "sannyas" by his guru Sri Sri Swami Sri Yukteswar
Giri. Sri Yukteswar had foretold that his life's mission was to
spread throughout the world India's ancient meditation technique of
"Kriya Yoga". Sri Yogananda accepted an invitation in 1920 to serve
as India's delegate to an International Congress of Religious
Liberals in Boston, USA. Paramahansa Yoganda founded Yogoda
Satsanga Society of India/Self-Realization Fellowship as the
channel for the dissemination of his teachings. Through his
writings and extensive lecture tours in India, America and Europe
he introduced thousands of truth-seekers to the ancient science and
philosophy of yoga and its universally applicable methods of
meditation. Paramahansaji entered "mahasamadhi" on March the 7th,
1952 in Los Angeles. This autobiography offers a look at the
ultimate mysteries of human existence and a portrait of one of the
great spiritual figures of the 20th century.

The True Story Behind the Powerful Film ALL SAINTS
Newly ordained, Michael Spurlock's first assignment is to pastor All Saints, a struggling church with twenty-five devoted members and a mortgage well beyond its means. The best option may be to close the church rather than watch it wither any further. But when All Saints hesitantly risks welcoming a community of Karen refugees from Burma--former farmers scrambling for a fresh start in America--Michael feels they may be called to an improbable new mission.
Michael must choose between closing the church and selling the property--or listening to a still, small voice challenging the people of All Saints to risk it all and provide much-needed hope to their new community. Together, they risk everything to plant seeds for a future that might just save them all.
Discover the true story that inspired the film while also diving deeper into the background of the Karen people, the church, and how a community of believers rally to reach out to those in need, yet receive far more than they dared imagine.
The Reverend Michael Spurlock served All Saints Episcopal Church in Smyrna, Tennessee, for three years. He is currently on the clergy staff at Saint Thomas Church Fifth Avenue in New York City. Michael, his wife, Aimee, and their two children live in New York City..
Ten spyte daarvan dat die Bybel eeue oud is, lees miljoene mense
wereldwyd uit verskillende taal- en kultuurgroepe dit steeds met
die verwagting om iets daarin te vind wat vir hulle persoonlike en
spirituele lewe van waarde kan wees. Nietemin is die Bybel
oorspronklik bedoel vir mense wat in ’n pre-industriele en
prewetenskaplike wereld geleef het. Hulle huise, stede, plase,
lewensomstandighede, kleding en gebruike het radikaal verskil van
die wat ons vandag ken – wat die vraag laat ontstaan: hoe kan die
reusegaping tussen hierdie antieke tekste en moderne lesers oorbrug
word. Geskiedenis en geskrifte stel hedendaagse lesers aan die
wereld van die ou Nabye-Ooste bekend – vanaf die ou Israeliete se
oorlewingstryd, tot die godsdienstige literatuur wat geskryf is om
hulle die lewe te help hanteer en sin te maak uit gebeure wat hul
lewe beinvloed het – en lei die leser sodoende tot groter begrip en
insig in die verskillende kontekste van die Bybel se
wordingsgeskiedenis.

As one of the world's most loved poets, Rumi's poems are celebrated
for their message of love and their beauty, but too often they are
stripped of their mystical and spiritual meanings. The Gift of Rumi
offers a new reading of Rumi, contextualising his work against the
broader backdrop of Islamic mysticism and adding a richness and
authenticity that is lacking in many Westernized conceptions of his
work. Author Emily O'Dell has studied Sufism both academically, in
her work and research at Harvard, Columbia, and the American
University of Beirut, and in practice, learning from a Mevlevi
master and his whirling dervishes. She weaves this expertise
throughout The Gift of Rumi, sharing a new vision of Rumi's classic
work. At the heart of Rumi's mystical poetry is the "religion of
love" which transcends all religions. Through his majestic verses
of ecstasy and longing, Rumi invites us into the religion of the
heart and guides us to our own loving inner essence. The Gifts of
Rumi gives us a key to experiencing this profound and powerful
invitation, allowing readers to meet the master in a new way.
