[FairfieldLife] A Few Well Known and Lesser Known Spiritual Classics

[dbra...@yahoo.com [FairfieldLife]]

Several of my Favorite Spiritual Books (with a Bhakti Emphasis)
 Bhagavad Gita, commentary Swami Mukundananda
 A profound and deep commentary by a modern Vedic Master who knows Sanskrit and 
its subtleties, along with India’s vast spiritual literature.  Krishna’s words 
on karm, gyan and bhakti and why ultimately bhakti is necessary.    
 The Great Swan: Meetings with Ramakrishna by Lex Hixon
 Written in the present tense to give us the feeling we are right alongside 
RamaKrishna as he goes about his life of devotion to Mother Kali.
 The Journey Home by Radanath Swani
 How many lifetimes as a sanyasi must he have had to start his journey and go 
like an arrow to his goal?  Possibly an even more compelling spiritual 
autobiography than Yogananda’s masterly work?
 Science of Being by Maharishi
 The first spiritual book I owned and still on my bookshelf.
 Practicing the Presence of God by Brother Lawrence
 A real spiritual “sleeper”.  A short, dense account of this Catholic lay 
brother’s profound relationship with God.  Lessons that any follower of any 
religion that recognizes one God can apply.
 Autobiography of a Yogi by Yogananda
 A great inspiration to all spiritual seekers.
 Spiritual Dialectics by Swammi Mukundananda
 Swami answers about 120 questions from seekers around the world on spiritual 
topics.
 Narad Bhakti Dharshan by Narad Muni
 
 84 aphorisms on devotion by sage Narad.  Best to watch the YouTube series of 
lectures by Jagadguru Kripaluji Yog.
