In The Hindu Way of Awakening, Swami Kriyananda (direct disciple of Paramhansa Yogananda) brings order to the seeming chaos of the vast symbols and imagery one encounters in Hinduism and brings forth the underlying teachings from which these symbols arise.
Hinduism, as it comes across in this book, is a robust, joyful religion, amazingly in step with the most advanced thinking of modern times, in love with life, deeply human as well as humane, delightfully aware of your personal life's needs, for the teaching in this book is no abstraction: It is down-to-earth and pressingly immediate.
Swami Kriyananda's inspired, entertaining, and energetic writing style make this book delightful reading for anyone interested in spirituality and the deeper meanings of religion.
