Yogananda has so bearutifully explained the complex Yoga system through his biography.\n\nI liked the chapter "Law of Miracles" and "Resurrection of guru.."  it has given awsome account of astral planes and an insight into what happens after death

Try "Lucky Man" by Michael J. Fox. BTW, you could have just said autobiography.

If you are interested in true self-realization and honest transformation I would suggest that you study the works of Paramahansa Yogananda. Yogananda was a Hindu sage that died in the 1950s after having taught extensively in the U.S. for decades. He taught metaphysics, and universal spiritual principles based on the teachings of Hinduism and also based on the teachings of Jesus. His books are written in an easy to understand language, you don't need a grand background in either metaphysics or theology to understand what he says. He was very down to earth, practical, and also right on the money. You can find info about him, his teachings, and the organization he founded (and it is still going strong) at the following URL. ~ Peace & Blessings ~

I have many books of his, and I thoroughly love them.  One of the best is "Destructive Emotions" by Daniel Goleman with the Dalai Lama.  I love his book called "The Compassionate Life" and I love his philosophy in general.  I think that he is the "real deal."  He is altruistic and as genuine as anyone I have ever seen.

Le Feng Shui est une science qui permet d'analyser et de corriger notre environnement pour obtenir une meilleure fluidité dans notre vie concernant notre carrière professionnelle, nos relations familiales, notre prospérité, nos relations sentimentales...\n\n\nLe yoga est l'une des six écoles darshana de la philosophie védique.\n\nLe terme de yoga vient du sanskrit योग. Sa signification est bien plus large que la définition généralement donné de "union". D'après gérard Huet [1] la signification de ce mot est :\n\nयोग yoga [yuj_1] m. véhicule, équipement; moyen, méthode; convenance | contact; union, jonction; zèle, soin; concentration d'esprit | discipline, pratique du yoga; extase ou union mystique | phil. système philosophique du yoga, attribué à Patañjali, l'un des 6 points de vue [ṣaḍdarśana] de l'Hindouisme orthodoxe; il traite de l'univers intérieur de l'homme ou microcosme; cf. aṣṭāṅgayoga | astr. conjonction.\n\nOn voit donc que le yoga est à la fois la méthode, le moyen, et le but. Ce mot possède le même radical indo-européen que l'on retrouve dans le français joug (du latin jugum) et l'anglais yoke.\n\nIl présente aussi l'idée que l'âtman doit être guidé par cet absolu. Mais au-delà de l'union de ces deux éléments, le yoga serait la réalisation d'une vérité à travers une variété de voie yogique

Gandhi's philosophy expostulated in his own words on various topics viz. Truth, Peace, Fearlessness, Love, Nonviolence, Vegetarianism, ... amongst 96 others, is available under the title: "The Mind of Mahatma andhi." \n\n"Mind of Mahatma" is an encyclopedia of thoughts of one of the most revered souls of the 20th Century.  For Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi –Mahatma Gandhi for millions of Indians - his life and thoughts were two sides of the same coin and hence the book unfolds a life which was dedicated for human liberation. It was a life that encompassed the compassion of Gautam Buddha and the passion of Christ for service to humankind. Perhaps this prompted Albert Einstein to say that the forthcoming generations would not even believe that such a man walked on this planet. In his life of truth and Nonviolence, he could melt the differences between individuals, countries and continents. The book, in fact, re-establishes the relevance of the Mahatma in modern times. Several scholars have described this book, which has been translated in many languages, as the new "Bible" or the new "Gita". \n\nThis 496 page book is about the Mahatma's thoughts on truth, nonviolence, fearlessness, democracy, simplicity, Sarvodaya, trusteeship, celibacy, self-reliance and about himself. The book is divided into 15 chapters and 96 subjects. \n\n"I have nothing new to say...the principles of truth and nonviolence are as old as the hills", Mahatma wrote. These words derived their strength from the life of Mahatma who epitomized these values. Mahatma's words came alive with the wisdom he found in confronting personal and social problems. Now, for many, they are not just words, but the power of life. Mahatma's struggle was not against any individual but against the system of oppression.

Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi (Devanagari: मोहनदास करमचन्द गांधी; Gujarati: મોહનદાસ કરમચંદ ગાંધી; October 2, 1869 – January 30, 1948) was a major political and spiritual leader of India, and the Indian independence movement. He was the pioneer and perfector of Satyagraha - the resistance of tyranny through mass Civil Disobedience strongly founded upon ahimsa (total non-violence) — which led India to independence, and has inspired movements for civil rights and freedom across the world. Gandhi is commonly known and addressed in India and across the world as Mahatma Gandhi (from Sanskrit, Mahatma: Great Soul) and as Bapu (in many Indian languages, Father).

Reading is to the mind what exercise is to the body. \n\nBy Sir Richard Steele ( And I agree!!!)

Yes I have, several times in fact.\n\nIt's an excellent novel, both in the terms of a fiction book, and as a general introduction to the many types of Philosophy. I read it first whilst I was at college (about 16 years old), and it help my attention.\n\nI do recommend it if you are wanting a good read, or wanting to find out more about Philosophy but aren't wanting to be swamped by text books.
