I haven't prayed a lot cause I never knew if that was making a difference in my life , I considered and thought of God only in hard times and the way I prayed to God was begging him but this book corrected me by showing how wrong i was begging to God cause we all are the children of God then why should we beg to him we can ask him as a son asks his father but only after you get close to him and this great book will help you attain it.

The sanctuary of the soul from Sri Sri paramahamsa yogananda is really a life changing book. I can say, its a small book with a lot of miracles and information. It is an effective guide to prayer. We are begging to God. and don't do that. God is the creator of all of us. So, he have to listen to us. So from this book, we can learn how to pray, what to pray, how to meditate, how we can talk with God, how to get inner peace, and how to live. Sri Sri paramahamsa yogananda is helping & communicating with the people from all religion that what he understood from his life. And how to apply all these things in your life. This book is truly entertaining, and it contains only 125 pages. But it contains the information of a 300 pages book. Its worthy. So Anyone from any religion can read and understand this book very easily.

A lovely little book filled with lovely little sayings.

[Shubhada]

You do not have to plead; you can demand as His child.”

This is the message Paramhansaji gives through this book.

He tells how to make the prayer effective. We need to have faith in god. He very clearly differentiates between faith and belief. Belief is reinstated in faith after some extra ordinary experinces. And we need to keep ourselves open and receptive for the devine experiences..

I have started praying as he has said. But still I need someone who can guide me on the path of self realization.
