life. The six chapter headings include The Grace of God, Divine Guidance,
and Abiding in God-Consciousness.


Golden Lotus Blossoms    $11
This little gem contains 101 meditative writings, most no more than a page

ponder the beauty of Swami’s expressions—his prayers, his realizations, his
mystical ponderings and self-answerings.

Beatitudes:  Blessings of Life    $13
A  mystical interpretation of the ten Beatitudes given by Jesus in his Sermon
on the Mount. The mystical meaning of the poor in spirit, the mourners,
and the meek are especially expansive beyond the literal interpretation
suggested by the words. The last three Beatitudes are grouped together in a
chapter called “The Persecuted.”



Mystic Musings   $13
A collection of personal revelations, often couched as guidance to anyone
who would grow in love and be self-directed to God-realization. Most of these
musings are one page God-bites, so this work is a splendid way to begin the day
or turn to a spiritual reminder throughout the day.

interpreted as our own mystic journey and stages we must go through in our path
