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.
Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not
used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad
quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are
images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to
keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the
original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain
imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made
available for future generations to enjoy.

This classic study of traditional Celtic spirituality ties ancient
Paganism, medieval myth, and traditional Fairy beliefs into a
powerful celebration of Celtic wisdom and magic. This magnificent
book is a collection of stories, anecdotes, and legends from all
six of the regions where Celtic ways have persisted in the modern
world: Ireland, Scotland, Wales, Cornwall, Brittany, and the Isle
of Man. It examines how Fairy spirituality survived in the face of
hostility caused by modern science and religion. It celebrates how
beliefs (which only a century ago were dismissed as quaint and
superstitious) were, in fact, powerful principles of ancient Pagan
magic that remained essential features of the Celtic world for
generation after generation. The Fairy Faith in Celtic Countries
offers plenty of speculation and theories regarding who or what
fairies are and where they come from. But it is also an
anthropological study of fairy faith which involved interviews with
hundreds of people.

quantum mechanics to an introduction to quantum field theory with
quantum electrodynamics as the basic example and ends with an

will enhance the purpose of this book as a useful textbook in the
area of relativistic quantum mechanics and quantum electrodynamics.
Applying Anthropology to Gender-Based Violence: Global Responses,
Local Practices addresses the gaps in theory, methods, and
practices that are currently used to engage the problem of
gender-based violence. This book complements the work carried out
in the legal, human services, and health fields by demonstrating
how a focus on local issues and responses can better inform a
collaborative global response to the problem of gender-based
violence. With chapters covering Africa, Asia, Latin and North
America, and Oceania, the volume illustrates the various ways
scholars, practitioners, frontline workers, and policy makers can
work together to end violence in their local communities. The
chapters in this volume provide ample evidence that top-down
responses to violence have been inadequate, and that solutions are
available when the local historical, political, and social context
is taken into consideration. Applying Anthropology to Gender-Based
Violence contains useful insights that, when combined with the
efforts of other disciplines, offer solutions to the problem of
gender-based violence.
This book presents theory-driven discussion on the link between
implementing green shipping practices (GSP) and shipping firm
performance. It examines the shipping industry's challenge of
supporting economic growth while enhancing environmental
performance. Consisting of nine chapters, the book covers topics
such as the conceptualization of green shipping practices(GSPs),
measurement scales for evaluating GSP implementation, greening
capability, greening and performance relativity (GPR), green
management practice, and green shipping network. In view of the
increasing quest for environment protection in the shipping sector,
this book provides a good reference for firms to understand and
evaluate their capability in carrying out green operations on their
shipping activities.
