In Divine Friendship: Letters of Counsel and Reflection

by Kriyananda

This extraordinary book of letters, written by Swami Kriyananda in response to questions and inquiries from his friends, students and critics over a thirty-year period, responds to practically any concern a spiritual seeker might have―how to meditate deeply; strengthening one's faith; developing divine attunement; accelerating spiritual progress; overcoming negative self-judgments; responding to illness, the right attitude toward money and profit, becoming a good leader, attracting a mate, sexuality, raising children―any many, many other subjects.

Reviews

[Tandava Graham · Rating 5 out of 5]

Swami Kriyananda's writing and advice are excellent, as always, but it's very sweet to experience it in the form of direct, personal letters, rather than more formal books.
