Handbook on Discipleship
explains why a guru is needed, what a true guru is, and how to follow the guru. It also clears up many common misunderstandings on the subject that are prevalent in current spiritual thinking. These lessons offer a rare opportunity to learn about discipleship from a lifelong disciple of a fully realized Master. Swami Kriyananda has been a disciple of Paramhansa Yogananda for over sixty years. For all of the extraordinary accomplishments of Swami Kriyananda's life - over one hundred books, over four hundred pieces of music, successful spiritual communities all over the world, and more - he gives full credit to Yogananda and to what he has gained as his disciple.
