How to Find Happiness (Paperback)

In Yoga, you don't need to get something to make yourself happy. You are only to realize that you already are happiness personified. Swami Satchidananda explores the core teaching of yoga that our natural state needs only to be uncovered in order to experience life as total joy. Topics include purity of heart, how to succeed in yoga, selflessness and karma yoga, self surrender, a courageous mind, a better world, the safest simplest and happiest life, and the necessity for a guide. First, know who you are. Then, all the other knowledge will have a magnified effect. Know that you are That. Be silent and find inner knowledge. To realize, go into deep, deep silence.

Swami Satchidananda is the founder of Integral Yoga® International, Satchidananda Ashram Yogaville, and the Light Of Truth Universal Shrine. He was one of the first Yoga masters to bring the Yoga tradition to the West and he was welcomed as a truly universal spiritual teacher. The distinctive teachings he brought with him blend six branches of classical Yoga and the nondual philosophy of India, as well as the interfaith ideals he pioneered. These techniques and concepts influenced a generation and gave rise to Yoga culture that is flourishing today. There are now 20 Integral Yoga centers and thousands of Integral Yoga teachers around the globe. Integral Yoga is the foundation of Dr. Dean Ornish’s landmark work in reversing heart disease, Patricia Kerr’s Big Yoga, Sonia Sumar’s Yoga for the Special Child, and many other trailblazing programs. He is the author of Integral Yoga Hatha, To Know Your Self, The Yoga Sutras of Patanjali, Beyond Words, The Living Gita, and The Golden Present, among other titles. He is also the subject of the documentary, Living Yoga: The Life and Teachings of Swami Satchidananda. He received many honors for his humanitarian service including the Juliet Hollister Interfaith Award presented at the United Nations, the U Thant Peace Award and a posthumous honor during his centenary in 2014, the James P. Morton Interfaith Award. In addition, he served on the advisory boards of many world peace and interfaith organizations. For more information, please visit: swamisatchidananda.org and integralyoga.org
