A Renunciate Order for the New Age
A Breakthrough in the Evolution of Consciousness . . ."I have a soul-tingling feeling that this new Order is the watershed of a new era of spirituality on earth-perhaps difficult to see en masse during our time, but a clear demarcation from the perspective of those in the future." -from a recent letter by Swami Kriyananda

In this book, Swami Kriyananda introduces a new approach to the quest for God-realization that speaks to modern seekers. Demystifying the mystical, Kriyananda presents practical techniques, attitudes, and life directions that lead to inner freedom and joy. Whatever your level of spiritual interest or commitment, you will find A Renunciate Order for the New Age a must-read to give you an understanding of where religion is headed in the future. It launches a new era for people everywhere who want to declare their devotion to high, spiritual ideals.

Swami Kriyananda (1926-2013) has been a direct disciple for over sixty years of the great yoga master, Paramhansa Yogananda (author of the classic, Autobiography of a Yogi). He is widely considered one of the foremost experts on meditation, yoga, and spiritual practice, having authored more than 140 books on these subjects.

Kriyananda was the founder of Ananda, an international organization committed to the dissemination of Yogananda's teachings. In 1968 he founded Ananda Cooperative Village in Nevada City, California, the first spiritual community based on Yogananda's vision of "world brotherhood colonies." Today Ananda includes eight communities in the U.S., Europe, and India, and more than 140 meditation centers and groups worldwide.
