Material Success Through Yoga Principles
Are you satisfied with your life as it is?
Do you want to keep pushing forward, armed only with grit and determination?
Or would you like to learn how to align your will with the power of the universe?
This book can transform your life at its core. This is the opportunity that stands before you now. Material Success through Yoga Principles is in a sense, an autobiography of perseverance and loyalty to principle until success is achieved. Swami Kriyananda’s own life is proof that these principles work. And the successful lives of thousands he has influenced show that these principles can be of benefit to anyone who learns and uses them.
Many people, Paramhansa Yogananda said, fail to succeed in life for lack of what he called “spiritual adventurousness.” Successful people are those who have the imagination, and the courage, to embrace new ways of doing things, even if others scoff, or turn away.

Tentang Penulis
A prolific author, accomplished composer, playwright, and artist, and a world-renowned spiritual teacher, Swami Kriyananda (1926–2013) referred to himself simply as a close disciple of the great God-realized master, Paramhansa Yogananda. He met his guru at the age of twenty-two, and served him during the last four years of the Master’s life. He dedicated the rest of his life to sharing Yogananda’s teachings throughout the world. Kriyananda was born in Romania of American parents, and educated in Europe, England, and the United States. Philosophically and artistically inclined from youth, he soon came to question life’s meaning and society’s values. During a period of intense inward reflection, he discovered Yogananda’s Autobiography of a Yogi, and immediately traveled three thousand miles from New York to California to meet the Master, who accepted him as a monastic disciple. Yogananda appointed him as the head of the monastery, authorized him to teach and give Kriya initiation in his name, and entrusted him with the missions of writing, teaching, and creating what he called “world brotherhood colonies.”Kriyananda founded the first such community, Ananda Village, in the Sierra Nevada foothills of Northern California in 1968. Ananda is recognized as one of the most successful intentional communities in the world today. It has served as a model for other such communities that he founded subsequently in the United States, Europe, and India.
