Synopsis

John Laurence - minister, modern mystic and direct disciple of the great spiritual master and world teacher, Paramhansa Yogananda (author of the bestselling classic, Autobiography of a Yogi) - presents, in this volume of talks, an outline of the inner path with practical spiritual teachings. Laurence s speaking style is refreshingly straightforward and lively as he highlights timeless truths via fascinating stories from the lives of saints from East and West. Laurence s message of how to grow spiritually is universal and non-denominational and his compelling discussions of life after death are centred in the foundation of Laurence s own psychic abilities and high spiritual state.

About the Author

In 1933 in Washington, D.C., John Laurence met Paramhansa Yogananda, the great master of yoga. That meeting stimulated John to embrace more fully his inner search for God—a search he'd already partly explored through years in a Franciscan monastery, and through a study of Eastern teachings. In the midst of a busy life—John became a famous singer—he found time for meditation and for correspondence with his Guru, Yogananda. In his later years, Rev. Laurence gave much-treasured sermons in various churches and drew about him a group of devoted students. He passed away peacefully in 2003 at the age of ninety-five.

Elana Joan Cara (editor) has been a devotee of Paramhansa Yogananda for more than thirty years, and studied closely with Rev. John Laurence from 1978 until his death in 2003.
