Book Study

Dear Members and Friends of Unity Radiant Light,
On Monday September 14th at 6:30PM, our Book Club will begin a new book study of one of my all-time favorite books, the Autobiography of a Yogi. From 2001-2004, I had the wonderful opportunity to study with disciples of Paramahansa Yogananda at Ananda Center in Rhode Island. Each Monday, we will read about the Master Yogananda’s life, study the science of Yoga, learn the Energization Exercises he taught to awaken your inner source of energy and practice meditation.
Autobiography of a Yogi – Paramhansa Yogananda
The work is enduringly popular because it introduces millions of readers to Eastern spiritual thought. Yogananda's masterly storytelling epitomizes the Indian oral tradition with its wit, charm, and compassionate wisdom. The yogi begins by showing how his childhood experiences in turn-of-the-century India produced a spiritual youth in search of an enlightened teacher, continues with an account of his years of training in the hermitage of a revered master, and concludes with the highlights of a period, beginning in 1920, during which he lived and taught in America. Yogananda sensitively interprets not only his own spiritual evolution but also his relationship with elements of the West's spiritual tradition, such as the story of Adam and Eve, providing a penetrating look at the ultimate mysteries of human existence. Bibliographical footnotes, which would have interrupted Kingsley's magnificent narration, are thoughtfully included in an accompanying booklet.
Cost for Class: Love Offering + $10.50 for the book. I will be ordering the books on September 1st, so please let me know if you need one. (www.abebooks.com has this in used books for $4.95)
The class will be held at Its My Health at 1099 Mendon Road in Cumberland RI.
I hope to see you there.
Blessings,

Cherie Ruffo
