You Can Be Happy In Spite of Everything: Seeds of Light, Volume 1

First in the new “Seeds of Light” series A small, practical books filled with the luminous wisdom of the great spiritual master Paramhansa Yogananda.

Happiness is both a creative art and a concrete science, which can be our reality despite all the difficulties of life. Paramhansa Yogananda reminds us of this over and over again in these pages, for example, with these words, which admirably describe the “art” of happiness: “Happiness comes, not by helplessly wishing for it, but by dreaming, thinking, and living it in all the moods and actions of life.”

In this book, you will find enlightening, authentic, pure passages taken from the magazines published at the beginning of Yogananda’s work. They contain all the strength of his vibrations with the utmost adherence to the original text to preserve their power. You are reading unedited, authentic, pure material from these precious early magazines. It is as if the young Yogananda were talking directly to you, without any filter.

Enjoy the gift of Yogananda’s luminous teachings, which are truly “Seeds of Light.”
