The Measure of Christ's Love: In His Own Words, Jesus Reveals the Mysteries of His Teachings
By Catherine Julian Dove & Vera Lauren

Greeting, I am thrilled to announce November 29th is the highly anticipated launch of my book, but I warn you please do not be put off by the title we were "given." If you know anything about me, you know this is not a religious book and the teachings are meant for everyone no matter what you believe. Master's support and input was ever present because he wanted to be part of this. I am both humbled and honored. The making of this book is a book in itself, and the title is,

The Measure of Christ's Love. (This is bittersweet news because of the devastating physical loss of my sister friend and partner Catherine Julian Dove; however, of course Catherine is still instrumental in helping me propel this honorable privilege we continue to share.)

Getting this book to print was quite a challenge, and not for the reasons you may be thinking. Any teaching of this spiritual magnitude threatens those of darkness and they attempt to cause havoc, but at the very most it is temporary because light always triumphs. In this case, there were nearly two years of delays "beyond our control," but last spring the Celestial Christ told me that the 2011 holiday season was always their desired book release date; so I detached from the outcome and left it in their hands. It is our hope you will read this book with an open heart and ask the Christ and your Presence to assist you in its understanding. I thank you in advance for helping raise the consciousness of the world by sharing this sacred teaching, and for all your prayers and letters of support. When the audio version of the book becomes available I will notify you. This book is a first in a series and soon the second will go to print, and I will subsequently let you know that release date.

Please email everyone on your contact lists, as well as using all your social networking to let people know the book is now available to purchase. If anyone is willing to share media contacts that is greatly appreciated as I would love to discuss this book on some talk shows to open minds and advance sales. Thanks for all your support, and I welcome feedback.

You can order the book by calling Tate Publishing (888) 361-9473 (toll-free) or (405-256-6353).

You may also go through the Tate Publishing website, Tatepublishing.com/bookstore, and eventually it will be in stores, on Amazon.com, etc. Or click on:

A Life's Retrospective Reflections on Divine Love, Light and Beauty

They include "Soaring on an Overtone", which is dedicated to dear Antoinette (Nettie) van Leuween and includes many beautiful compositions and videos inspired by her native land, Indonesia. Included in it is an older video of Wayang Orang, Court style Javanese Dance, depicting Arjuna and Lord Krishna performed to a recording of Gamelan Music directed by my teacher K.R.T. Wasidipuro as well as sample Gamelan music from Sunda, Mayasia, Bali and Java.

The most recent new post is a poem by my devotee grandmother, Rosilla (Rose) Tooles Harris who served for years at the Lake Shrine. I have made this section a little tribute to her and included some American Songs arranged by Aaron Copeland, "The Last Rose of Summer" sung by Amelia Galla Curci, and some other inspiring compositions as well as a couple beautiful Youtube videos of the Lake Shrine and a photo collage of my grandmother's 75th Birthday Celebration held by the Lake Shrine Devotees including glimpses of Brother Turiyananada and Brother Dharmananda.

In addition, I have added some beautiful Gamelan Shadow plays and dances, emphasizing stories about Arjuna's battles with "Demons" in the Gamelan Section, Hebrew Sacred Services honoring the recent Holy Days and Dora Grynwald's mother who passed on recently, and a beautiful performance of Gustavo Dudamel (LA Philharmonic Conductor) and wonderful violinist Hilary Hahn performing for the pope.

“We empower words and thoughts by entertaining them in our mind. Ambrosia contains over 500 inspirational seed – thoughts, one can use to replace negative thoughts with positive ones. Here is what some people had to say about Ambrosia: Streams from Many Springs:

Life is a journey – sometimes over wondrous mountain tops of joy and other times through dark valleys of pain and despair. For Lisa Meriweather that journey was facilitated and made bearable by the inspired wisdom of others who have traveled the way before. This book is her effort to share just some of the reflections that encouraged her most on her trip through life: Ambrosia-the fruit of many courageous souls.” ~ Nancy Kitchen, Editor & Library Director Emeritus, Pepperdine University ~ Calabasas, CA.

“Ambrosia: Streams from Many Springs – This Book, is a unique collection of quotes that is perfect to reference when you need to take a few minutes to step away from the challenges of daily life, slow down and take a deep breath to put things back into perspective and rejuvenate your demeanor.

“In her latest release, Ambrosia: Streams from Many Springs,” Lisa Meriweather has written a truly heartfelt inspiring piece of work filled with shining gems of wisdom.” ~ Anne Loader McGee Author Northridge, CA.

“Ambrosia: Streams from Many Springs is a lovely treasure of a book, so thoughtfully compiled, and filled with comforting and useful wisdom. It is a source of positive thoughts and upliftment that can be turned to again and again.” ~ Nancy Golden-Clark ~ Murrieta, CA

“I have enjoyed picking up your book from time to time and reading a few quotes. It always seems to be the perfect quote for the moment. These are definitely quotes we can all live by.” ~ S. K. ~ Los Angeles, Ca

John Maxwell Taylor

John Maxwell Taylor has been a devotee since 1967 and lived in Encinitas for 25 years before remarrying and moving to Ohio in 2006 . His book The Power of I Am (North Atlantic Books), now in its fourth printing and four languages, teaches how to stay centered in any social situation, particularly when dealing with people who are tense, or behaving in a negative manner towards us. By using a series of body centered grounding and energy redirecting techniques while dealing with everyday situations, we can transform the static charge often generated in such moments into positive fuel for the soul and self-awareness.

Evolving out of workshops originally called "Secrets of Sociological Aikido", taught for the past 10 years to thousands of people internationally, the techniques and ideas presented support Paramahansa Yogananda's premise that we must learn to "stand unshaken amidst the crash of falling worlds".

In our time of tremendous global upheaval and change, where the tension in society is palpable, meditative individuals sometimes find that as their consciousness expands, they become more sensitive not only to the beauty in life, but also the inharmony in the world. Taylor has found ways to build up a sense of power and connect with the divine presence strongly, no matter where we are or who we are dealing with.

Techniques such as knowing which of the two eyes of a person connects to their "essence" and which to their programming, enable us to draw out the best in almost everyone we meet by looking into their "essence eye". Or, if someone is projecting negativity towards us, be able to look into their "personality eye" in such a way that they sense they are dealing with a power to be reckoned with that is greater than our human selves. In this way it becomes possible to often diffuse potential conflict without saying a word, quickly bring out the best in people, and instead of feeling drained of our life energy, experience a fresh influx of power and presence in the midst of life.

Familiar stories in the book such as "the snake who wouldn't hiss" encourage spiritual seekers of truth not to be doormats but learn to be centered representatives of spiritual principles in the "real world", quietly defusing potential arguments with a look or a reordering of the energy dynamic of tense situations to a positive outcome. This works very well with children, family members, coworkers and complete strangers including rude salespeople etc. The practice automatically shifts those who would be over familiar with us towards better behavior.

The author is best known in America for his award-winning 20 character one-man play "Forever Jung", based on the life Swiss psychologist Carl Gustav Jung, and "Crazy Wisdom", an acclaimed Broadway style epic musical based on the life of the controversial Russian mystic Gurdjieff. John Maxwell was a member of the Findorn Foundation, the pioneering spiritual community in Scotland, where he was a member of the performing arts group, developing Transformational Theater presentations. He is also a rock singer and musician who had a career as a pop star in France in the early 60s, later coming to Hollywood and working in recording studios with the great session musicians and producers of the time. He's currently working on a double CD of his latest songs.

Farther Shores: Exploring How Near Death, Kundalini and Mystical Experiences Can Transform Ordinary Lives
Yvonne Kason MD.
iUniverse, 2008. www.farthershores.com

Farther Shores Book Cover
Click to show larger image

Researching spiritual experiences and their after-effects

A guide to diverse types of spiritual experiences and long-term spiritual transformation of body, mind, and spirit. Written from a multi-faith and yogic perspective.

This inspirational book describes the moving story of how a 1979 airplane crash transformed author Dr. Yvonne Kason’s life forever. Her profound near-death experience launched her on a quest as a medical doctor, to research spiritual experiences that can transform our everyday lives.

The first US publication of this Canadian best-seller, Farther Shores is a synthesis of 25 years of Dr. Kason’s research, personal experiences and the experiences of the thousands of patients she has counseled. She has helped others understand and integrate their extraordinary states of consciousness and the long-term spiritual transformation that often follows. Written from a multi-faith perspective, the book draws deeply from yoga and Christian mystical traditions, along with modern medicine, psychiatry and psychology.

Topics include:

• Mystical experiences - a multifaith perspective
• Near Death Experiences
• NDE-like experiences: Facing-death, death-bed, and death-watch experiences
• Kundalini awakening / spiritual energy episodes / yogic model of consciousness
• Psychic awakenings including Past-Life Recall
• Spiritual Emergencies and Psychosis
• Grounding strategies
• Long-term spiritual transformation of consciousness/ the mystical path: physical, psychological and spiritual symptoms
• Promoting a balanced Spiritual Transformation / Self-realization / God-realization
  

Filled with inspiring case stories, Farther Shores is a practical guide, offering insight and support. Kason offers sound advice and practical suggestions on how to use these extraordinary occurrences for spiritual deepening and personal growth, and discusses the importance of "psycho-spiritual housecleaning".

Kason concludes that all types of spiritual experiences lead to the same conclusion, the same one truth: That we are all spiritual beings having a physical worldly experience; that we are all loved by a Higher Power, omnipresent loving force, or God; and that all true religions are leading us to this one same truth, albeit by slightly different paths.

Yvonne Kason MD is a recognized international expert and Canada‘s foremost authority on near-death and other spiritual experiences. She has been on numerous television and radio shows across Canada and the US. Retired as a family physician and transpersonal psychotherapist in Toronto in 2006, she was as an Assistant Professor in the Department of Family and Community Medicine at the University of Toronto. She was also the co-founder of the Spirituality in Health-Care Network, a founder of the Kundalini Research Network, and founder of the Spiritual Emergence Research and Referral Clinic. Dr. Kason is a kriyaban and long-time member of SRF.

Where Souls Dream God: Westerners’ Perceptions of Spiritual India

The 17 page glossary is an education in itself.

The book consists of 391 pages and nearly 100 photographs, including previously unreleased photos of Ammachi, Neem Karoli Baba, & Sri Anandamayi Ma. Contributors include kirtan singers, Krishna Das, Jai Uttal, & Vaiyasaki Das; Sri Daya Mata, president of Self-Realization Fellowship; Swami Atmarupananda, senior Vedanta Society minister; Swami Mangalananda, of the Sri Anandamayi Ma ashram in Omkareshwar; & many, many more. Also includes 3 wonderful poems about India by Paramahansa Yogananda.

A “seeker” and spiritual student since childhood, her quest culminated in the writing of her first best selling book God Made Easy. Hers is a miraculous story.

On the morning of November 11th, 1995, she was woken from a dream and an Inner voice “told her” to write her first book. She did it in an hour and signed a publishing deal 3 weeks later!

New Books

I would love to let other SRF devotees about my two very special children's books
The Invisible String and The Smile that Went Around the World.

These books have deep universal spiritual concepts for children.

The Invisible String explains to children how we are all connected by Invisible Strings made out of LOVE and has been a huge source of comfort when dealing with any sense of loss, fears, or separation issues. It is in it's 7th printing and is quickly becoming regarded as a classic children's book! Another cool thing is that adults are buying it for each other. ( spouses, adult children for their parents and vice verse!)

The Smile that Went Around the World - empowers children to realize just how important and inpactful a smile is. The little boy in the story does an act of kindness that sparks a chain reaction of Smiles that go around the world and come back to the same boy just when he needs it most. I am partnered with the huge global children's charity Operation Smile and a portion of all proceeds from this book go to support them in sending more smiles around the world!

I am so grateful to announce that I recieved a special blessing last summer at Convocation when I got permission to reprint the Prayer Before Food by Yogananda in the section of the book entitled "The Holistic Cookie Goes To India".

Little Wave and Old Swell
A Fable of Life and Its Passing
by Jim Ballard

This is to inform all devotees of a just-publlished book entitled "Little Wave and Old Swell." It is a hardback gift edition, beautifully illustrated, of a spiritual fable based on tParamahansa Yogananda's frequently-used metaphor of human life as a wave on the Ocean of God.

Among other themes, the story illustrates the guru-disciple relationship; dangers of competition, excitement, and negative friendships; meditation on the Om; the nature of delusion, and dealing with life's ending. There is much life learning involved in Little Wave's adventures. For busy people, Old Swell's wise counsel of "Don't hurry, don't stop" can be taken to heart. The story of how Little Wave faces death (going back into the Great Deep) has already proven to be of great help to children and families in bereavement.

The book will be on display in the Bonaventure Hotel gift shop during Convocation. I encourage you to visit www.littlewave.org to learn
more and/or to order copies.

The Return

The Return is a novel about two sisters who return to where their parents were murdered thirty years ago, to find out the truth of what happened. The perpetrator is dead, but will those who were with him talk? Lydia, a yoga teacher, and Margie, a new divorcee, are sometimes at odds. Lydia feels her mother's spirit asking 'why?' Margie abhors such notions. But as they get involved in the Quaker community surprising things happen.

The book can be purchased at www.thebooklink.com or directly from the author, Margaret Guthrie, 1411 Cedar Lane, Estes Park, CO 80517. Price is $15 plus $1.50 shipping.

SRF readers find this novel inspiring and easily recognize the SRF themes. Karma and reincarnation are given a prominent place, as well as a view of the after-life. There is some mystery, and thoughtful commentaries on war, concientious objectors, and truth. Some find the book hard to put down. At the same time others find the metaphysical themes disturbing. The Return would make a good bookclub discussion with its various themes.

Some of the feedback I've been getting include "I feel inspired by the interwoven spiritual thoughts, Master's themes and your energy which I feel. I'm intrigued by the mystery and an intelligent inquiry into war..." "I couldn't put the book down, and that was the problem."

http://thetwilightride.com/

Mind Like Water The 24 strategies in the book are for building a "mind like water"-or the ability, as Master says, to be "calmly active, actively calm." Like WHAT'S THE RUSH?, it is spiritually based and quotes the guru frequently.

Whale Done! It uses a story to help people (primarily leaders such as parents and business managers) value the strategy of "catching people doing things right."

What's the Rush? is in part a commentary on the speedup of life over almost 7 decades I had observed it, and a sort of survival handbook for approaching the 21st century.
Circletime, Why?

"Little Wave and Old Swell"

The story treats a variety of spiritual themes, including the guru-disciple relationship, reincarnation, meditation, hearing the Om, and confronting death. Children of all ages will enjoy and learn from this gentle tale; it also makes an appropriate gift to someone in bereavement.

http://www.trafford.com/robots/03-0067.html

by Lindsay Boyd

I have just self-published part three of my healing and reconciliation trilogy. Based on the premise that healing signifies new life, Thanks Be to the World details the story of Larry, a film actor from Scotland, who embarks on a yearlong trip during which he revisits some of the locations of the films he has made. www.trafford.com/07-1123 or contact the author direct.

Healing and reconciliation, Mayan lore, Eastern spiritual thought, civil strife in Guatemala and volunteering in the third world are some of the elements of Lindsay Boyd's The Unintentional Healing of Soul.

" Earlier this year I self-published a novel entitled The Unintentional Healing of Soul. Healing and reconciliation, Mayan lore, Eastern spirituality, civil strife in Latin America and volunteering in the third world are some of the elements of the book. Further information can be found at the following web page: www.trafford.com/robots/03-0067.html The novel can also be ordered online or, for those residing in the United States and Canada, direct from me. Please contact: (boysay@hotmail.com)"

The second part of a trilogy of novels dealing with the themes of healing and reconciliation, Proper Respect for a Wound examines the consequences that can arise when feelings of perceived hurt and woundedness are taken too far, thus leading to the inevitable rejection of offers of healing. Proper Respect for a Wound by Lindsay Boyd is available direct from the author or can be ordered online: www.trafford.com/robots/04-2547.html

Cooking With Swami Yogananda

When Paramahansa Yogananda first issued his Yogoda lessons, each lesson contained a delicious and yummy recipe. The lessons also contained extensive information about vitamins, nutrition, food for healing, and about food and their pranic energy. These Yogoda lessons were later used to create the current SRF lessons, however all this material and recipes were not included in the new lessons. Paramahansaji opened two cafes: the Encinitas Cafe, and the Hollywood Temple cafe, called India Hall (mentioned in the Autobiography of a Yogi). These two cafes cooked delicious meals using the recipes which were in the Yogoda lessons. Eventually, the Encinitas Cafe and India Hall cafe were closed. The Self-Realization Fellowship still uses the recipes today in their ashrams. If you have gone on a pilgrimage to the Temples during Convocation, you know how delicious and yummy the food is that they serve. Many devotees wish they could have a copy of these recipes to use at home.This is exactly what you will find here.

Atlantis Sinking
by Ed Sharrow

It was the end of the world. It felt like the end of time." Atlantis Sinking is a fantasy love story set in the end days of Atlantis. The setting is partially based on the concepts of the Yugas which have been mentioned by both Sri Yukteswar and Tara Mata.

There is a fun "Are you from Atlantis?" quiz page on the book website.

In the more distant future, I plan to write a philosophical book about the ages of mankind (the Yugas). I hope to share more about what we can manifest NOW in this Bronze Age (Dwapara Yuga).
