This is another advanced book, in which Yogananda describes in detail his life as a highly advanced Hindu, first in India as a child and then travelling west. He takes great care to include the best aspects of several other religions, so the book is in no way "fundamental", it embraces the best of all faiths. There is a wealth of serious spiritual information in this book.

This book is outstanding. Fritjof manages to marry many 'new' scientific discoveries with what religions seem to have known for years. Cross referencing religious manuscripts with scientific writings he shows that the great spiritual leaders of our time 'saw' the building blocks of life they just didn't name them. From Quantum Physics to Space and time he shows the parallels in thinking and beliefs. Medium read but well worth it.

This book is outstanding. A great history of how Scientific discoveries have changed religious views through the ages. From Galileo's discovery that the earth isn't the centre of the universe and the impact that had on Christian teachings to the end of the universe and what that means to man. Great read not anti religion but shows how lessons can change our perception of why we are here.

Another excellent health/nutrition book first published in 1984 which has stood the test of time, unlike many other "temporary fad" diet books. This is about the Hay system, worked out by Dr. William Hay in the early decades of the 1900s, and refined and improved since then. The authors explain in detail the importance of eating food in correct combinations, and give simple guidelines on how to achieve this. They also give plenty of additional diet/health information, a lot of which is plain common sense, including an excellent section on acid- and alkaline-forming foods. The second half of the book is devoted to recipes.
