Seeing God Everywhere: A Practical Guide to Spiritual Living

Swami Shraddhananda, Shraddhananda. Vedanta Press, $12.95 (0pp) ISBN 978-0-87481-052-3

At 89, Swami Shraddhananda is the self-effacing head of the Vedanta Society of Sacramento, a post he has held since 1970. While he has taught widely and worked to bring Vedanta to America, he has shunned the limelight. His many students revere his deep knowledge of the Vedanata, the philosophy taught by the ancient Hindu scriptures, the Vedas, which includes the disciplines of Bhakti Yoga, Jnana Yoga, Karma Yoga and Raja Yoga. Here at last are the scattered writings of this great teacher drawn together as a guide for the spiritual life. Even though the general reader may need more background on some of the Hindu teachings discussed here, the reader with some knowledge of Hindu lore and the legends of Kali, Vishnu and Krishna will find this a well-designed volume that opens out as a wonder of spiritual guidance.
