The Heart of Service by Nayaswami Jyotish
The Heart of Service is an exploration of the spiritual aspects of service—especially of its power to transform our consciousness.
When we serve selflessly, we unlock hidden treasures of joy, expansion, and divine connection. The difference between mere work and true service lies primarily in attitude—specifically, how selfless or how self-involved we are.
Divine Awakening by Nayaswami Devi
Swami Kriyananda, a direct disciple of Yogananda dedicated his life to serving his Guru’s mission. Nayaswami Devi spent fourty-four years by his side, helping carry forward a mission that began long before either of them was born.
Divine Awakening is her account of that mission: the great unfolding of consciousness
Yogananda was sent to inaugurate the new way of life Kriyananda built to embody it, and the work that now passes to those of us living at the dawn of this new age. It is a book of vision, of witness, and of invitation.
