"There are writers—Tolstoy and Henry James to name two—whom we hold in awe, writers—Turgenev and Chekhov—for whom we feel a personal affection, other writers whom we respect—Conrad for example—but who hold us at a long arm's length with their 'courtly foreign grace.' Narayan (whom I don't hesitate to name in such a context) more than any of them wakes in me a spring of gratitude, for he has offered me a second home. Without him I could never have known what it is like to be Indian."—Graham GreeneOffering rare insight into the complexities of Indian middle-class society, R. K. Narayan traces life in the fictional town of Malgudi. The Dark Room is a searching look at a difficult marriage and a woman who eventually rebels against the demands of being a good and obedient wife. In Mr. Sampath, a newspaper man tries to keep his paper afloat in the face of social and economic changes sweeping India. Narayan writes of youth and young adulthood in the semiautobiographical Swami and Friends and The Bachelor of Arts. Although the ordinary tensions of maturing are heightened by the particular circumstances of pre-partition India, Narayan provides a universal vision of childhood, early love and grief."The experience of reading one of his novels is . . . comparable to one's first reaction to the great Russian novels: the fresh realization of the common humanity of all peoples, underlain by a simultaneous sense of strangeness—like one's own reflection seen in a green twilight."—Margaret Parton, New York Herald Tribune"The novels of R.K. Narayan are the best I have read in any language for a long time. . . . His work gives the conviction that it is possible to capture in English, a language not born of India, the distinctive characteristics of Indian family life."—Amit Roy, Daily Telegraph

Less than a week after he finished reading Autobiography of a Yogi, by Paramhansa Yogananda, Swami Kriyananda traveled from New York City to Los Angeles, California and was initiated by Yogananda himself as a disciple and a monk. It was September 12, 1948. James Donald Walters, as he was known then, was twenty-two years old."You have a great work to do," his Guru told him repeatedly. This was not a compliment; it was a sacred responsibility.When Yogananda died in 1952, he left a "blueprint in the ether," he said, for a worldwide spiritual awakening. For sixty-five years Kriyananda worked with prodigious creativity to turn that "blueprint" into a practical way of life. He founded communities, retreats, and schools for children. He wrote over four hundred pieces of music and dozens of books, available now in a hundred countries in thirty languages. He traveled the world, lecturing in five languages, and personally initiated thousands of people into Kriya Yoga.Asha Nayaswami met Kriyananda in 1969, when she was twenty-two. Recognition was immediate. "My Polestar," she called him. Soon he asked her to start taking notes for the book she would someday write about him. For 44 years she was in constant contact with Kriyananda as devotee, friend, personal assistant, and eventually spiritual leader in her own right.By every measure - spiritual and material - his was a triumphant life. Success, however, did not come easily. He was plagued by ill-health, financial challenges, and years of persecution from fellow disciples, including a massive lawsuit that took a dozen years to resolve. The lesson of Kriyananda's life is in the struggle as well as the triumph. This is a first-hand account of life with a great spiritual teacher, one who came not to show the world how great he is, but to awaken in everyone faith in their own spiritual potential.

Swami Abhishiktananda (Henri le Saux, 1910-1973) is one of the most intriguing spiritual figures of the twentieth century. A Breton-born monk who moved to India in 1948, he initially hoped to Christianize India along Benedictine lines. Instead his deep encounter with Hindu spirituality, particularly the experience of "non-duality," led him on an even more challenging and adventurous path, adopting the appearance and life if an Indian holy man. His last years were spent living as a hermit in the Himalayas.

This book is a fascinating history of the India lobby in America in the pre-independence era - a little known chapter in the history of modern India. It documents the travails of early Indian migrants to North America and Canada from the beginning of the 20th century to the end of World War II. It captures their prolonged struggle for obtaining civil rights, and promoting the cause of India′s freedom beyond the borders of the subcontinent.

The life of His Holiness Swami Shri Kripalvanandji (1913-81) is one of rare dedication to God and Guru. One can hardly imagine his journey much less aspire to replicate it. Attaining the highest states of yoga, he is one of the 20th century’s most revered examples of saints on the path of nivritti marg, the path to ultimate liberation through renunciation. A sannyasin of the highest order, Swami Kripalu endured trials of faith throughout his path, never doubting the guidance of his guru, Lord Lakulish, who was the incarnation of Lord Shiva himself. It was this exceptional blessing that guided him through his remarkable path. Witnessing Swami Kripalu’s example from the age of 15, Amrit Desai is one of only five disciples who received direct teaching from this great Kundalini Yoga Master. Despite having many thousands of followers, Swami Kripalu hand-picked Amritji as a chosen shisya (spiritual student), continuing to guide him until his death at 69. Amritji, himself a renowned guru and yoga master, maintained correspondence with his teacher even after moving to America. It is this precious communication from 1966-73 that is revealed within these pages. The letters are full of wisdom, guidance and humor. Never before have the letters been translated from Gujarati to English and are only now available to inspire modern followers on the path of the Lakulish Lineage of Masters.

Swami Kripalu was a remarkable man, a bridge between the traditions of ancient India and contemporary Western society. A yoga master renowned for the intensity of his spiritual practice and the depth of his compassion, Swami Kripalu came to the United States in 1977 where he spent the last four years of his life in residence at the original Kripalu Center founded by Yogi Amrit Desai in Sumneytown, Pennsylvania. Primarily a compilation of quotes from Swami Kripalu's four years in the West, this book also draws on translations of earlier talks and written works that remain unpublished in English. The introduction and commentary by Richard Faulds is provided to set a broad context in which the meaning of the quotes can be understood and applied to yoga practice. Swami Kripalu was the inspiration behind Kripalu Center for Yoga and Health in Lenox, Massachusetts, the largest yoga, health, and program center in North America.
