Where There is Light will help you find the Light within to rise above any circumstance in your life where you might feel helpless or alone. A wonderful contribution to humanity that will bring you peace, and a way to find that peace within no matter where you are on your path.

This is one of the most enlighten books I've ever read. I used to read it every day, a small paragraph each day. It was like small drops of wisdom ! You must have it!

As one of Yogananda's advanced students once said, ''I don't know how anyone can keep his sanity amidst the pressures of this modern world without the help of a true spiritual guru.'' This collection of Yogananda's inspired insights into our divine nature - and the challenges posed by our oppressive materialistic environments - is a powerful way to keep a true spiritual master's guidance at one's side.

In a moment of distress or spiritual need, just open to any page and you will feel this master's wisdom lifting burdens off your shoulders.

Highly recommended... for both the newcomer to spiritual awakening and the veteran devotee. EXCELLENT GIFT for friends or family who may be new to Yogananda's brilliance or to Eastern spirituality as a whole.

Where there is Light will endure for centuries as the Divine wisdom that is given in this book will raise your awareness of YOUR inner Light, and how connected you are to the Divine in your life.
I love this book, and keep it in my car to refer to. No matter which page I turn to, there is wisdom and enlightenment that always helps me stay 'as the Light' within. I highly recommend this book for the truth, insight, and upliftment it will provide for you...

There is something in this little book for everyone, no matter your religion or your religious/spiritual perspective. I have two and would like to have one on every floor of my house, one at work, one in the car... you get my point.

Paramahansa Yogananda offers eastern spiritual treasures in ways I as a westerner can understand. A great collection of paragraphs that improve one's way of looking at life.

This is a wonderful treasure of a book that will help you to see the light behind the seeming darkness of any situation that you may be in. I have found it to be one of the few books that has genuinely helped me to rise above "negative" appearances, and to embrace the gifts that may not be so apparent while in the midst of change. I highly recommend this book if you are looking for hope and answers for more inner peace.

WHERE THERE IS LIGHT --Is my constant companion. These precious practical wisdom excerpts from the writings of PARAMAHANSA YOGANANDA will show you how to find a life full of Joy - Peace - and Success. You can use it as a source of daily inspiration and a guide along your chosen path of life.

Whenever I wish to go to the heart of truth on any matter, I deeply contemplate upon a gem from this well of living water, after deep Meditation.

A picture is worth a thousand words - the word of a true Guru is worth a thousand pictures!!!

For those who wish to see a quick digest of Paramahansa Yogananda's insights, this would be a great introduction. Then read 'AUTOBIOGRAPHY OF A YOGI', and you will begin your wonderful Journey to Self-Realization. Via Con Dios!

I found this book to be truly amazing in it's wisdom. The author who died in body in 1952 has truly wrote a post-newtonian book on transformation. The movie "What the bleep" has nothing to add over the wisdom and teachings of this book. The author has a complete understanding of the ideas of Candice Pert who wrote "Molecules of Emotion," which came out recently, but Paramahansa Yogananda was writing about these concepts over half a century ago. Paramahansa Yogananda takes it a notch further and brings in the spiritual domain where the real transformation occurs.

This book "Where There Is Light," gives great tools in the form of instruction in using meditation and affirmation to change the patterns of thought that have become like grooves in our brains. So many of us have been stuck in repeating the same habits over and over again and we have all felt the frustration and suffering of being a slave to habits we want to be rid of. This book gives the answer to being free.

This book is truly a gift of mercy and compassion for all those who truly wish to lighten up and start living a life of more comfort and ease. Reading and following the teachings of Paramahansa Yogananda takes the struggle out of life, and all for the small price of a paper back book.
