‘When you change, your whole world changes.’
Here is a secret, well worth knowing: Happiness is not a gift you receive from others, but a divine birthright you choose for yourself now.
Happiness is a choice, a state of mind you can cultivate day by day. Try the simple program of positive thinking and expansive living described in this book, and watch your life change for the better.
Life can be a humdrum monotony of similar experiences repeated again and again—daily, monthly, yearly—without any substantial change of circumstances, or increase of fulfillment. But many people are discovering that when their thoughts become more positive and expansive, their lives also improve: when we change from the inside, our whole world changes.
True happiness springs from within. And there are ways and techniques to make that happiness grow.
Therefore, this book—Finding Happiness: Day by Day. In it, Swami Kriyananda presents thoughts and actions for you to experiment with. All of these suggestions are based on universal principles—principles that lead to inner happiness.
Kriyananda writes: ‘I suggest you take one thought at a time from the following pages. Keep it before you throughout the day, as a reminder. Repeat it out loud, or mentally, letting it sink into your subconscious. And look for situations in your life to which you can apply it creatively.’
Practicing these principles in daily life can bring you ever closer to finding happiness—the ever-new joy that dwells within you.
عن المؤلف
One of the foremost spiritual teachers of Yoga principles in the world. In 1948, at the age of twenty-two, he became a disciple of the Indian yoga master and world teacher, Paramhansa Yogananda (author of the classic, Autobiography of a Yogi). At Yogananda’s request, Swami Kriyananda devoted his life to teaching and writing, and helping others to experience the joy and living presence of God within. Over the course of more than sixty years, Kriyananda lectured on four continents in seven languages. His television programs, audio and video recordings of his talks and music, and his many books in twenty-eight languages have touched the lives of millions.
Swami Kriyananda took the ancient teachings of Raja Yoga and made them intensely practical and immediately useful for people in every walk of life, on a daily basis. His books and teachings cover nearly every field of human endeavor, including spiritualizing business life, leadership, education, the arts, community life, and science. He wrote extensive commentaries on the Bible and the Bhagavad Gita.
Swami Kriyananda was also known as the “father of the intentional communities movement, ” which began in the United States in the late 1960s. Inspired by his guru’s dream of establishing spiritual communities, in 1968 he founded the first of what are now ten Ananda communities worldwide. They provide a supportive environment of “simple living and high thinking, ” where a thousand full-time residents live, work, and worship together. “The time has come for people to live lives of even higher dedication than that which inspired monks and nuns of the past. . . . The time has come for people to direct their spiritual awareness also downward into matter . . . to everything they do: their work, to education, to family life, to friendship, to their communications with strangers, to the way they build their homes — to all the most mundane, practical aspects of daily, human life."
“Men need now to become God-centered from within, and from that center to see God everywhere, in everything." —Cities of Light by Swami Kriyananda (J. Donald Walters)
