Review
A brilliant undertaking! A veritable Recipe for Self-Discovery. Bravo! -- Dr. Donald Schnell, author of The Initiation

A practical manual of Kriya Yoga, gifted to humanity by the Himalayan Sages, and passed on to the modern age. -- D.B. Biswas, Trustee for the National Centre for the Performing Arts, Bombay, India

Destined to be a spiritual classic. -- The Most Reverend Lee A. Petersen, D.D.

Product Description
Some consider Kriya Yoga to be an esoteric and isolated practice. Historically, Babaji, the ageless saint dwelling in the remote regions of the Himalayas, revived it by passing Kriya on through a lineage of individuals that includes Lahiri Mahasaya, Sri Yukteswar, Paramahansa Yogananda and many others. However, for Kriya Yoga to impact this world, it has to take form and practice within you. It is not meant to remain dormant in esoteric and cult-like enclaves. It is not separate from "normal life." A Recipe for Bliss bridges the esoteric and the everyday. It describes how to enter the place that has no inside and no outside, without the urge to maintain a separate relative presence. A Recipe for Bliss is a blueprint to draw the Primordial Cosmic Vibration of the Holy Sound, Om, into your everyday awareness. From there you may enter a joyous life experience without ego and beyond dimensions to merge with the Whole Being God Is. A Recipe for Bliss can open the doors of your perception to a new and authentic way to experience your True Self.

5.0 out of 5 stars What "A Recipe For Bliss" means to me., October 7, 2003

By	Sylvia (Mena, AR United States) - See all my reviews

The very fruit of Carl Schmidt's first on-line Kriya Yoga Class, "A Recipe for Bliss" is brilliant in both detailed instruction and pure delivery streaming from a conscientious, warm, gentle, kind and loving heart. The book is clear and precise as well as straight forward and honest. Through the practice of Kriya Yoga techniques as presented via this special teacher, Carl Schmidt, our interior, personal make-up surfaces and It becomes painfully evident that most of us are caught up in the world of illusion or maya. Carl brings to light a direct and true approach to finding bliss or "the peace that passeth understanding" with clarity and timeless expertise which allows the student a means to expand their consciousness and fulfill the bottom line which is to "be in this world but not of it." Additionally, Carl makes available, to any and everyone with enough committment to follow the practice of Kriya Yoga, a rare opportunity to discover and practice living in bliss. This opens a new way of being, one we are all struggling to find, which blossoms and flowers as we apply the teachings. Learning these practices or techniques has made living a very different Journey, one in which I can be consciously aware of my purpose here and now. I feel truly blessed to have been part of this instruction and am so grateful for Carl's willingness to share and open the pathway of Kriya Yoga . I would and do recommend this as a book to travel and grow with. "A Recipe for Bliss" will always be on my bedside table for easy and ready accessibility. Kindests Regards, Sylvia

By	frank d. smith (Hudson, Florida United States) - See all my reviews

I, Rev. Frank D. Smith Doctor of Divinity have reviewed this book and find it one of the best in our present age. If you are sincere in obtaining greater inner connection with your own higher self, this book will aid you to succeed. Carl holds nothing back in aiding you to obtain the stage of inner being - ONE WITH YOUR OWN HIGHER SELF>>> God. I have met the author personally and he LIVES what this book teaches. It is trully a "RECEIPE FOR BLISS".
