PURE INSPIRATION AND REVELATION!
Paramahansa Yogananda's recorded talks in "THE DIVINE ROMANCE", presented to me the most comprehensive, balanced and inspirational view of spirituality and love I have seen in a long time. He must have been a great Bakti Yogi to have such deep vibrations of Divine Love pouring out of every page!

Yogananda's awareness of such a wide range of wisdom in these important life areas of MEDITATION-PSYCHOLOGY-LOVE-PEOPLE-GOD-etc, and the balanced approach to the spiritual life shows an outstanding teaching ability as well. This is wonderful to see in writings on such subtle and profound matters. He takes the "mystery" out of the mystical. In this book one finds complete and sensible answers to sastisfy the mind and heart. It makes one greatful that such great souls still come to help us through our lives of difficult learning and growing. This book was difficult to put down, but I found that reading it slowly and encouraged me to seek and feel the presence of God more and more deeply. Try it and you will know. As wonderful as reading can be, it took my consciousness to finer realms...

This book is filled with pearls of great wisdom .
I think this book is absolutely sensational. It is filled with pearls of great wisdom that are practical and quite relevant to our everyday living. A person with whom I shared this book whlist travelling on the train,remarked that you can open the book at any point and find something of great value and I have found that to be true.It is interesting that I had this book more than three years now but just thumbed through it.Now it seems so pertinent that I eagerly look forward to reading it everyday and practicing its insights. It is an answered prayer to my recent bout of despair and fustration . I now feel more empowered and postive about myself and life in general.This review may not do it justice but if it prompts one person to read it and makes a difference in their life as it has mine I would be delighted.

Divine Solace
Having studied world religions, Yogananda's essays (more like letters of guidance from a beloved brother)were discovered and found to be deeply inspiring, comforting, loving, non-judgmental, and one of very few tomes worthy of re-reading. Have since read most of his published works, and he is a gentle teacher,(as is White Eagle), whose wise words can be applied to daily life...making one's inner and outer world, a happier place. Thorougly recommended.
