Which Spiritual Book Helped You Understand Life Or Gave You Peace

My spiritual journey started when I read Autobiography of a yogi by Yogananda. I was mesmerised, in awe of this new world opened before me.

Before this , having grown up in middle class brahmin family, i was accustomed to daily rituals, prayers and poojas. But I was doing it seeing my parents do the same. Never had questions like why, or is there any god etc.

However, after I started reading spiritual books, I feel my prayers are having new meaning, giving me peace and I am finding meaning of life and I can handle situations in better or mature way.

Currently I am reading Gospels of Ramakrishna by Mr. M, book by Ramakrishna mission.

So, if you like any spiritual book or philosophy, pls share so that we all can help each other. Also information and suggestions about spiritual books in other religions are also welcome.

 

Yes. I also do naam japa. Helps a lot.
Bhagawad gita is really a great book
Will read bhagawat purana for sure in future

 

Yes. Understanding it took me 3-4 readings
.
I remembered in this connection that the serial Mahabharata which starred on star plus last year or so, had narration of Gita in very simple form. N quite delightful it was to see bhagwan shrikrishna too

 

'A search in secret India' by Paul Brunton is a nice read. It narrates author's spiritual journey through India ending in finding Guru Shri Raman Maharshi. Quite interesting.

 

I went to my neighbours home ysterday and they were reading Bhagawat Purana. So I was lucky to hear few pages with meaning from Bhagwat Purana.. what a great coincidence. Thank you ☺
