Since ancient times scriptural wisdom has been the polestar of humankind. Scriptural verses are self-revealing and illuminating, each one like a multifaceted crystal, shimmering with beauty when held to the sun. However, just as a treasure is often hidden, so, too, is the inner meaning of these gems of Truth; thus, the scriptures are often misinterpreted and misunderstood by the general population.
Those who know and understand these truths are the realized saints and sages. They are the sun that reveals the true beauty of the crystal.
Explore the profound inner revelations of the great yogi and spiritual master Paramahamsa Hariharananda and share his deep insight into the hidden truth within the scriptures.

Where do you store your treasure, in heaven or on earth? Is your well-being and happiness based on God and Truth, or on money and possessions? The desire for wealth takes root at an early age; in no time an intense longing becomes our foremost aspiration. Our families, our friends, and our divine duty to those in need take a back seat to our insatiable greed. Greed has a corrosive quality that erodes our inner beauty, corrupts our moral fiber, and destroys our relationships.

It may seem that greed is a modern disease. While greediness is undeniably more prevalent and destructive today, this invasive weed has been with us for ages. The ancient Bhikshu Gita scripture from India tells a timeless story about a mean-spirited miser’s unquenchable thirst for money that ultimately leaves him destitute and alone. Thankfully, this story has a happy ending. Through his agony and deep reflection an inner light emerges that reveals his past mistakes and transforms him. The Bhikshu Gita masterfully teaches the simple lesson we are here to learn: The only treasure worth seeking is the eternal treasure.

The Bhikshu Gita: The Song of the Wandering Monk, is a dialogue between Lord Krishna and his beloved friend Uddhava. Paramahamsa Prajnanananda shares a delightful yet insightful commentary.

Paramahamsa Hariharananda taught countless people on the path of spirituality in general, and Kriya Yoga in particular, for over half a century.

Seemingly lost for centuries, the ancient science of Kriya Yoga was resurrected in 1861 when Shri Lahiri Mahasaya, the fountainhead of Kriya Yoga, took initiation from Mahavatar Babaji, who instructed him to teach this divine technique to a suffering humanity. In this book, The Essence of Kriya Yoga, the renowned Kriya Yogi Paramahamsa Hariharananda shares his vast knowledge and personal insight of the history and science of Kriya Yoga.

As with many of the world’s most significant scriptures, the Bhagavad Gita’s rich metaphorical gems have been misconstrued by the masses. The Bhagavad Gita stands alone in describing the human predicament — our erroneous identification with our bodies and minds that prevents us from recognizing our divine heritage. It teaches us the way out of this mortal dilemma, and it details the paths that lead to freedom and immortality. However, when reading the Gita, one can easily overlook the profound spiritual truths that are subtly cloaked in the retelling of the Mahabharata battle.

Swami Shriyukteshwarji loved the Bhagavad Gita and held its lofty teachings in the highest esteem. He also understood that to mine its underlying message, it must be read with two sets of eyes: the physical eyes and the eyes of the soul. Disheartened by the many commentaries on the Gita that barely skimmed its surface, Shriyukteshwarji felt compelled to write a book that would help seekers access its infinite depth. The original version of his book, the Gitar Tattva, was written in Bengali. Paramahamsa Prajnananandaji cherished it for years and was inspired to translate it into English so seekers around the world could benefit from its teachings. The Essence of the Gita will gently lift your mind from the mundane world to soar in the heights of the inner divine realms.

Karma is a universal and systematic law that automatically delivers the consequences of good or bad actions.
Are there different kinds of karma? How do our actions create karma? How is karma carried to the next life? Can we be free from the bondage of karma? This fascinating subject opens the door to an infinite number of unanswered questions.

He gives us the tools we need to break free from the karmic prison.

No other scripture captures the essence of Truth as completely and powerfully as the Mahabharata. Within this work of infinite knowledge is found a rare and priceless jewel, the Bhagavad Gita. The Bhagavad Gita narrates a battle between cousins, the Pandavas and the Kauravas, which is the battle between good and evil, a battle that rages in the minds and hearts of all human beings.

This knowledge can inspire us to be victorious in our holy battles to reclaim the divine kingdom within.

Throughout the ages, countless millions have read and followed the teachings of the Torah. Most notable among its teachings are the Ten Commandments, revealed to Moses by God eons ago, yet still considered the moral code for many today. As with all sacred texts, the Torah is often understood at only one level by the masses, when its words are taken literally. When describing the Torah, Paramahamsa Prajnanananda has said, “The Torah is a treasure trove of wisdom, but one must know how to extract its riches.” From a Yogi’s Perspective, we are given a glimpse of the hidden treasures found in the Torah.

Many aspire to follow a spiritual path, but there are a select few who have the real desire to go much deeper in their practice.

In doing so, he underlines the nature and the importance of the guru–disciple relationship and why determination, strength, loyalty, and total surrender are essential on the part of the sadhaka.

Many of us are fascinated with Self-realization, but few of us work to achieve it. Most of us have no idea what it takes to reach the goal. Nothing is more rewarding than success on the spiritual path, but we approach this path blindly, unprepared for its challenges. The fundamental goal of spiritual practice is to destroy the darkness of ignorance that obscures reality and our true identity. Only one thing can eliminate the darkness: the inner light of knowledge that reveals the truth.

Acharya Shankara, the author of the Atma Bodha and many other treasured spiritual texts, dedicated his short but extraordinary life to helping humankind reach Self-realization. The Atma Bodha is a step-by-step guide that teaches seekers how to walk the path of knowledge and avoid the journey's countless pitfalls.

Although it is ancient, it is best described as eternal; its teachings transcend the past, present, and future. Undoubtedly, this book is not meant for casual reading; its words must be absorbed and deeply contemplated to receive the priceless gift hidden within them. What is this gift? The Kaivalya Upanishad expertly teaches the path of liberation and the knowledge of the Self. One who possesses this sacred knowledge realises the concerns of life and our connection to the Divine.

Throughout the history of humankind seekers have listened to the cry of their souls and sought to find out "Who Am I?" and "What is my purpose in this world?".

The commentary in this marvellous book by Paramahamsa Prajnananandaji shines a spotlight on the profound truths presented in this masterpiece, making them easier to comprehend and apply to the modern-day world. The wisdom in this book is endless.

A life without values is meaningless. A life without virtue cannot blossom and grow. Values and virtue are essential in worldly life and are vital ingredients on the spiritual path. The truth is that values and virtues are the true beauty in life, infusing it with unyielding steadiness and purpose.

Over two thousand years ago Lord Jesus delivered a sermon that was so powerful and inspiring that it will forever withstand the test of time. Known as the Sermon on the Mount, this sermon begins with sacred blessings known as the Beatitudes. These blessings reveal the qualities necessary to transform our lives and promote divinity.

Lord Jesus, the Master of unconditional love, gave us the Beatitudes, the divine remedy for a lost and suffering world.

The roots of Hinduism are venerable, ancient, and enduring. Even though it is the world’s oldest religion, it is still one of the largest. This is an irrefutable testament to the eternal Truth it represents. Nevertheless, throughout history the ritualistic practices and deity worship of the Hindu religion have been widely misunderstood by non-Hindus as well as its own worshippers. For the most part, the hidden meaning behind the practices has been forgotten; their true intent remains a mystery. Unfortunately, when the worship of any religion lacks insight and understanding, when it becomes mechanical rather than purposeful, its power to help seekers transcend the mundane is diminished. Religious practices are more effective when devotees acquire the ability to penetrate the surface.

The Significance of Hindu Worship, written by the eminent Kriya Yoga Master Paramahamsa Hariharananda, is a fascinating exploration of the inner meaning of some of Hinduism’s most significant rituals and practices. This easily understood, enlightening book eliminates many misconceptions regarding the different aspects of Hindu worship, revealing its true, hidden beauty. Through his profound wisdom, Paramahamsaji illuminates the remarkable essence of Hindu worship and sets every reader on a path to greater understanding and respect for one of the world’s most important religions.
