Trening

A unique take on mindfulness, meditation and meaning filtered through the life and work of David Bowie.

Originally Published in 1946PrefaceThe value of Yogananda's Autobiography is greatly enhanced by the fact that it is one of the few books in English about the wise men of India which has been written, not by a journalist or foreigner, but by one of their own race and training--in short, a book about yogis by a yogi. As an eyewitness recountal of the extraordinary lives and powers of modern Hindu saints, the book has importance both timely and timeless. To its illustrious author, whom I have had the pleasure of knowing both in India and America, may every reader render due appreciation and gratitude. His unusual life-document is certainly one of the most revealing of the depths of the Hindu mind and heart, and of the spiritual wealth of India, ever to be published in the West. It has been my privilege to have met one of the sages whose life- history is herein narrated-Sri Yukteswar Giri. A likeness of the venerable saint appeared as part of the frontispiece of my Tibetan Yoga and Secret Doctrines. It was at Puri, in Orissa, on the Bay of Bengal, that I encountered Sri Yukteswar. He was then the head of a quiet ashrama near the seashore there, and was chiefly occupied in the spiritual training of a group of youthful disciples. He expressed keen interest in the welfare of the people of the United States and of all the Americas, and of England, too, and questioned me concerning the distant activities, particularly those in California, of his chief disciple, Paramhansa Yogananda, whom he dearly loved, and whom he had sent, in 1920, as his emissary to the West. Sri Yukteswar was of gentle mien and voice, of pleasing presence, and worthy of the veneration which his followers spontaneously accorded to him. Every person who knew him, whether of his own community or not, held him in the highest esteem. I vividly recall his tall, straight, ascetic figure, garbed in the saffron-colored garb of one who has renounced worldly quests, as he stood at the entrance of the hermitage to give me welcome. His hair was long and somewhat curly, and his face bearded. His body was muscularly firm, but slender and well-formed, and his step energetic. He had chosen as his place of earthly abode the holy city of Puri, whither multitudes of pious Hindus, representative of every province of India, come daily on pilgrimage to the famed Temple of Jagannath, "Lord of the World." It was at Puri that Sri Yukteswar closed his mortal eyes, in 1936, to the scenes of this transitory state of being and passed on, knowing that his incarnation had been carried to a triumphant completion. I am glad, indeed, to be able to record this testimony to the high character and holiness of Sri Yukteswar. Content to remain afar from the multitude, he gave himself unreservedly and in tranquillity to that ideal life which Paramhansa Yogananda, his disciple, has now described for the ages. - W. Y.

Lluvias de estrellas: Poemas de fe, esperanza y amistad es una recopilación de poemas que a través de los años he ido escribiendo. En ellos considero como la fe y la esperanza me han ayudado a vivir. En ellos expreso mi fe en Dios y la esperanza de que la humanidad encuentren el camino para construir el Reino de Dios. Una experiencia que desde nuestra generosidad donde la justicia, la equidad y el amor nos ayuden en la edificación y montaje de la experiencia humana que Jesús predicó. Además, reflexiono en estos poemas sobre experiencia con el dolor y la enfermedad que desde el año 2000 me ha tocado vivir como parte de varias enfermedades crónicas. En estos pensamientos expreso mi gratitud ante la incertidumbre y fragilidad de mi vida. Reafirmado la gracia y el amor que he recibido de parte del Señor y de las personas que con su amistad y apoyo han contribuido a mi vivir en esperanza.

The Bible attests to the fact that God enjoys providing for His children, and that Jesus came to teach and demonstrate a life of supernatural provision. Author Bonita Bush has witnessed countless times and in numerous ways when God provided in the midst of impossible circumstances. Many dire or catastrophic circumstances were supernaturally invaded releasing the provisional blessings and demonstrated His love and care for us. Using the inspiration of seeing such miraculous provision, and receiving insight from Holy Spirit, she now shares in her new book, His Passion to Provide. Bonita begins with her own dire struggle, wondering how she would have food to eat the next day. Yet, as she prayed for God to provide for her needs, the Lord spoke to her heart, giving instruction ... and day after day she witnessed her refrigerator supernaturally never depleting. It changed her life! She further takes the reader exploring with insight and understanding of supernatural provision found in countless, biblical testimonies. With in-depth precision, she recounts Jesus feeding 1000's from a small boy's lunch of a few fishes and loaves, and expounds on many extraordinary miracles God performs today. She stresses the reality that Jesus has an absolute passion to provide for you with blessings overflowing! As Bonita continues to relate on the reserves of heaven and heavenly deposits, she teaches from experience and gives insightful solutions to the reader. Insight positions us with expectation for our provision to manifest again and again! Speaking to a generation grappling with recent, catastrophic events, moving into an uncertainty future with a shifting economy, and commerce being dictated in unfortunate ways, Bonita writes to give hope, solutions, and expectancy because of His love and His Passion to Provide.
