Anyone, whether or not a student of the great avatar, Paramahansa Yogananda, or those following some other spiritual path would greatly benefit from this book as many have, myself included. All the chants are "spiritualized songs" which are born out of depths of true devotion to God, having been chanted until response has been received from Him. They are not merely sentimental selections.

I like the completeness of this book, as it not only explains the most effective way to chant for best results, but it also provides all the notes with the words of the chants so that even a beginner in music can follow and play them. Those not proficient at reading music would still find it very instructive just reading the words of the chants and Sri Yogananda's explanatory notes on various pages. Chants, like poetry tend to condense the wisdom, and access the higher mind. I found this is a very worthwhile book.

The collection of these wonderful chants is not just a book. It is a great blessing for all souls having thirst for spiritual progress. The chants address all the different moods of a devotee reaching out to God. Simple but powerful and life transforming as all great truths are..

To sing to God in all voices, all religions. This book is very sweet. Particularly if you play an Indian instrument, this is really a match for you. I love these chants, and they are easy to follow.
