The Yamas and Niyamas (The Essence of the Bhagavad Gita Explained by Paramhansa Yogananda)

Swami Kriyananda discusses the deeper meanings of the characters in the first chapter of the Bhagavad Gita, explaining that they represent inner spiritual qualities rather than literal warriors. He emphasizes the significance of the Yamas and Niyamas from Patanjali’s teachings as essential steps on any authentic spiritual path, regardless of religion. The Yamas involve self-restraint, such as avoiding anger and pride, while the Niyamas encourage positive habits like cleanliness and devotion. He illustrates the law of duality, where every pleasure is followed by its opposite, urging spiritual seekers to develop inner detachment from worldly highs and lows. Through personal anecdotes and wisdom, he stresses the importance of inner peace, dispassion, and watching oneself even while enjoying life. He also touches on the concept of spiritual memory, noting that progress on the path is never lost, even after setbacks. Ultimately, spiritual joy and fulfillment must be rooted in God, not in external things. This book shares the profound insights of Paramhansa Yogananda, author of Autobiography of a Yogi, as remembered by one of his few remaining direct disciples, Swami Kriyananda. This revelation of India's best-loved scripture approaches it from an entirely fresh perspective, showing its deep allegorical meaning and also its down-to-earth practicality. The themes presented are universal: how to achieve victory in life in union with the divine; how to prepare for life's "final exam," death, and what happens afterward; how to triumph over all pain and suffering. Swami Kriyananda worked with Paramhansa Yogananda in 1950 while the Master completed his commentary of the Bhagavad Gita. At that time Yogananda commissioned him to disseminate his teachings world-wide. Kriyananda has in his lifetime lectured, taught, and written over one hundred books based on Yogananda's teachings.
