| Path to No-Self, the: Life at the Center. by Roberts, Bernadette. | This book shows how, once we have adjusted to the unitive state, the spiritual journey moves on to yet another final ending. It verifies that a path beyond union does indeed exist, that the eventual falling away of the unitive state happens as the culmination of a long experiential journey beyond the state. the author shows that a path exists between the transcendence of the ego (self-center), which begins the unitive state, and the later falling away of all self (the true self), which ends the unitive state. |

| Purana Purusha: Yogiraj Sri Syama Churn Lahiree. by Chatterjee, Ashoke Kumar. India: Yogiraj Publications. 2000. | A detailed biography on the life of Lahiri Mahasaya, delineating the precepts, sadhana realizations and the sequential pattern of Kriya yoga which he himself had traversed enabling aspirant yogis to be one with the Absolute. This biography is based on the 26 self-written confidential diaries penned by Lahiri Mahasaya himself. Satyacharan Lahiri, grandson of Yogiraj had ordered his disciple, Ashoke Kumar Chatterjee to compose a biography on Yogiraj. The book unfolds the manner how Prana or soul can be nurtured; it unfolds the source of totality, hence the source of love and peace. The book underlines the golden concept of attaining peace within the self, i.e. by making quest for the soul-self or Prana-self, only then can man be at peace with the whole world - this entails him to know the process of obtaining soul-realization. |
