In Art of Super-Realization: Initiation, Paramahansa Yogananda guides readers on a profound journey of spiritual awakening and self-discovery. Through ancient wisdom and practical techniques, Yogananda illuminates the path to realizing one's highest potential and experiencing the ultimate truth of existence. This transformative book offers a gateway to inner peace, divine love, and the art of living in harmony with the universe.

According to Yogananda, "Self-realization is the knowing - in body, mind, and soul - that we are one with the omnipresence of God; that we do not have to pray that it come to us, that we are not merely near it at all times, but that God's omnipresence is our omnipresence; that we are just as much a part of Him now as we ever will be. All we have to do is improve our knowing." According to an Amazon Reviewer: "This is an excellent little booklet which was originally given to Yogananda's initiates after initiation. It is of great value to those researching the legacy of Swami Yogananda. If you've ever wondered whether the techniques currently taught by SRF are the same as the techniques taught by Yogananda to his early disciples, then this booklet is for you. The major differences between the kriya yoga of this booklet and that of the current SRF initiation is as follows: 1) Mantra is "sung" in each chakra 2) Khechari (not by name) is discussed. 3) The path of the breath ("life force") is elliptical as it is explained in Autobiography of a Yogi. The techniques of this little booklet brought many of Yogananda's early disciples to Samadhi and beyond.

Swami Yogananda (January 5, 1893 - March 7, 1952), born Mukunda Lal Ghosh and later known also as Paramahansa Yogananda, is attributed with introducing Kriya Yoga science to the West. This is an exact reproduction of his 1930 work (now Public Domain), formatted for Kindle devices. It contains detailed descriptions and instructions in the following techniques:

Kriya Yoga is an instrument through which human evolution can be quickened. Learn the essence of this spiritual science from its greatest proponent, Paramhansa Yogananda, in his own words. Heed his vibrant call,"Awaken! Arise from dreams of littleness to the realization of the vastness within you." A compilation and selection of the original writings of the a spiritual Master whose life-work was to spend over 30 years in the West as the Fountain of Life, from which countless have drunk. This volume consists of the complete 1925 versions of "The Science of Religion" and "Songs of the Soul" as well as critical excerpts from the 1946 1st edition of the "Autobiography of a Yogi." Included are also other excerpts from his writings in the 1920's which are still helpful to the spiritual seekers of the world.

This is Yogananda's original 1930 version, which is in the public domain."By the correct practice of Kriya fourteen times, Maha Mudra twice, and Yoti Mudra twice, twelve years of evolution of body, mind and soul will be gained in a few minutes. Yoga is the super-method by which the evolution of body, mind, and soul can be quickened. That is how the attainment of wisdom and realization, which usually takes a million years and numerous incarnations of natural evolution, is possible in one lifetime." - Swami Yogananda, Kriya Yoga

The autobiography of Paramahansa Yogananda (1893 - 1952) details his search for a guru, during which he encountered many spiritual leaders and world-renowned scientists. When it was published in 1946 it was the first introduction of many westerners to yoga and meditation. The famous opera singer Amelita Galli-Curci said about the book: "Amazing, true stories of saints and masters of India, blended with priceless superphysical information-much needed to balance the Western material efficiency with Eastern spiritual efficiency-come from the vigorous pen of Paramhansa Yogananda, whose teachings my husband and myself have had the pleasure of studying for twenty years."
