World in Transition : Finding Spiritual Security in Times of Change (99 Edition)

With acute insight, A World in Transition shows how we can use the power of meditation and prayer for world peace, and effect lasting spiritual transformation for ourselves, our communities, and our planet.

By identifying the universal principles and world cycles that influence the evolution of civilizations and individuals, the authors help us develop those life skills we will need to chart our course in the times ahead.

WHERE ARE WE HEADED as a new millennium dawns? Will we continue to be tossed on the waves of change, or will we discover a deeper meaning? A World in Transition reminds us that behind the outward tumult life has a profound purpose — that in the larger view we are on a universal journey that will ultimately reveal who we are and why we are here.

In these pages, the visionary wisdom of one of the most revered spiritual leaders of our time sheds a clarifying light on present and future global concerns. Paramahansa Yogananda's farseeing guidance for these times of change, first articulated by him more than fifty years ago, along with contemporary discussions of his vision by his foremost living disciple, Sri Daya Mata, and other longtime monks and nuns of his Self-Realization Order, reframes the problems we face in a spiritual context of reassuring hope and encouragement.

By identifying the universal principles and world cycles that influence the evolution of civilizations and individuals, A World in Transition helps us develop those life skills we will need to chart our course in the times ahead.
