The New Path

My Life with Paramhansa Yogananda

By: Swami Kriyananda

Narrated by: Swami Kriyananda

The New Path tells the story of a young American's spiritual quest, his discovery of the powerful classic Autobiography of a Yogi, and his subsequent meeting with - and acceptance as a disciple by - the book's author, the great spiritual teacher and yoga master Paramhansa Yogananda.

Swami Kriyananda is an extraordinary narrator: He recreates the vibrancy of his guru's presence, remembers Yogananda's words with perfect clarity, and communicates to the listener the depth of their meaning. Through Kriyananda's eyes and words, you'll be transported into Yogananda's immediate presence as you learn the highest yogic teachings.

The New Path provides a marvelous sequel to Paramhansa Yogananda's own Autobiography of a Yogi, helping you to gain a more profound understanding of this great world teacher. Through hundreds of stories of life with Yogananda and through Swami Kriyananda's invaluable insights, you'll discover the inner path that leads to soul-freedom and lasting happiness.

Critic reviews

"Reading Autobiography of a Yogi by Paramhansa Yogananda was a transformative experience for me and for millions of others. In The New Path: My Life with Paramhansa Yogananda, Swami Kriyananda carries on this great tradition. Highly recommended." (Dean Ornish, M.D., Founder and President, Preventive Medicine Research Institute, Clinical Professor of Medicine, University of California, San Francisco)
"[T]he teaching, the message, and the life of Paramhansa Yogananda are illuminated in a way that makes it possible for us to not only easily access his timeless wisdom, but - through the elegantly easy-to-follow explanations and the living example of one of Master's most devoted disciples - actually apply Eternal Truth to our present-day life." (Neale Donald Walsch, author of Conversations with God)

beautiful and inspiring

It's a book that many spiritual aspirants could find value in...especially if you value hearing how another, comes consciously to the path. You'll find many more additional gems of Yogananda's universal teachings in this book told through the experience of Kriyananda.

Love and spirit in action

I love Swami Kryananda and his gentle loving narrative about his early life and the life with his guru Parmahansa Yogananda. I only wish I had known him while he was still alive. I am nothing short of eternally inspired by his words, stories and admonitions.

Swami kryananda is fulfilling the great work

Excellent insight into the path of a spiritual seeker, commingled with beautiful exploits from the life of paramahansa yogananda.
Well done Donald! Well done.

Elightening, uplifting and smart. Kriyananda OM

This is read by the author Kriyanada and he gives add stories and comments returning to the text by saying " Returing to the text",

Inspired and inspiring.

this book was written with humility and love. it has deepened my spiritual practice immensely, and inspired a current of desire for a new way of living.

Life changing

I read this book after reading Autobiography of a Yogi because I wanted to learn more about what Yogananda was like from someone who was a direct disciple. I went into it with somewhat of a negative view of Kriyananda based on his falling out with SRF, and his wiki page (later, after looking at who edits the page, it’s the same person who maintains the SRF wiki, so the facts are taken out of context, unfortunately).

I’m very happy I read this book. It led to other wonderful books published by Crystal Clarity and I realized that Kriyananda was, just as all of Master’s direct disciples were, a truly a great soul.

I do hope that you give this a chance. And I hope my brothers and sisters at SRF do more research about Kriyananda and Ananda (who have World Brotherhood Colonies !! ). Despite all the lies SRF told about Kriyananda, and their attempt to dismantle Ananda, he still had so much love for those at SRF. Such a great example for all of us. AUM.

Clarifying Yogananda’s Mission with Sincerity

A heartfelt and fresh perspective from a devoted disciple, shedding new light on Yogananda’s teachings and mission.

Greed

Let me just say this is a beautiful book and thank you Swami Kriyananda you will always be in my heart! it pains me deeply that anyone would ever try to silence the authentic truths of Paramahansa Yogananda’s life’s work...

Inspiring

My Love for God and Guru has grown even deeper. Much more insight into what a great avatar Paramahansa Yogananda truly is.
