Wisdom and Inspiration for Love and Acceptance
By Paramhansa Yogananda and Swami Kriyananda
“The role of the Divine Mother is to draw all Her children, all self-aware beings everywhere, back to oneness with God.”—Paramhansa Yogananda
For many of us, the image of God we grew-up with conjures more thoughts of judgment and condemnation than of loving acceptance.
“The Mother is closer than the Father. No matter what you do, She still loves you. She won’t judge you. No matter who you are, She’s your friend. She’s on your side and will always forgive you.”
In this book, you will discover: Who is Divine Mother?; How to develop the heart’s natural love; What attitudes draw Her grace; How to tune in to Divine Mother.
Included also are over thirty poems and prayers dedicated to God in the form of Divine Mother, as well as original chants and songs by the authors.
We long for a God who loves us exactly as we are, who doesn’t judge us but rather helps and encourages us in achieving our highest potential. In this book, discover the teachings and inspirations on Divine Mother from Paramhansa Yogananda, author of the spiritual classic Autobiorgaphy of a Yogi. These teachings are universal: No matter your religious background, or lack thereof, you will find these messages of love and acceptance resonating on a soul-level. Included also are over thirty poems and prayers dedicated to God in the form of Divine Mother, and original chants and songs by the authors.
About the author
<h2>Swami Kriyananda</h2><p>A prolific author, accomplished composer, playwright, and artist, and a world-renowned spiritual teacher, Swami Kriyananda (1926–2013) referred to himself simply as close disciple of the great God-realized master, Paramhansa Yogananda. He met his guru at the age of twenty-two, and served him during the last four years of the Master’s life. He dedicated the rest of his life to sharing Yogananda’s teachings throughout the world.<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span></p><p>Kriyananda was born in Romania of American parents, and educated in Europe, England, and the United States. Philosophically and artistically inclined from youth, he soon came to question life’s meaning and society’s values. During a period of intense inward reflection, he discovered Yogananda’s <em>Autobiography of a Yogi</em>, and immediately traveled three thousand miles from New York to California to meet the Master, who accepted him as a monastic disciple. Yogananda appointed him as the head of the monastery, authorized him to teach and give Kriya Initiation in his name, and entrusted him with the missions of writing, teaching, and creating what he called “world brotherhood colonies.”</p><p>Kriyananda founded the first such community, Ananda Village, in the Sierra Nevada foothills of Northern California in 1968. Ananda is recognized as one of the most successful intentional communities in the world today. It has served as a model for other such communities that he founded subsequently in the United States, Europe, and India.</p>More ebooks from the same author(s) / Editor
