Release date: January 5, 2027 | Pre-order for a 20% discount
Still the mind. Awaken the soul.
More than two thousand years ago, the sage Patanjali distilled the path to enlightenment into fewer than two hundred aphorisms. His Yoga Sutras remain the definitive guide to meditation, prized for their clarity and power. But how do you turn these ancient teachings into a daily practice that transforms your life?
Farther Away Than the Stars bridges that gap. Drawing on the teachings of Paramhansa Yogananda, author of Autobiography of a Yogi, and his disciple Swami Kriyananda, this book turns Patanjali’s wisdom into dozens of practical meditations you can begin today. Among them:
- Antidote meditations for restlessness, worry, and difficult moods
- Chakra meditations built on Patanjali’s Eightfold Path
- Classic breathing techniques, including the Hong-Sau concentration practice
- Guidance for hearing the sacred sound of AUM and seeing the spiritual eye
- Meditations for pain, attachment, harmful emotions, and intuition
Whether you’re new to meditation or a longtime practitioner looking to go deeper, this book offers a clear, warm, and reliable guide to the stillness where true meditation begins.
About the Author
Nayaswami Hriman
Nayaswami Hriman McGilloway was raised in a devout Catholic family and environment, with sixteen years of Catholic education, including two years at a preparatory high school seminary for the priesthood, Hriman has retained his love and respect for the core values and teachings of traditional Christianity. It was during his college years at the University of Santa Clara (a Jesuit college in the Bay Area of California), that the teachings of India and the practice of meditation came into his life.
He traveled, in his mid-twenties, from Europe to India in search of India’s timeless wisdom. Upon returning after over a year of travel, he found the Autobiography of a Yogi, Paramhansa Yogananda’s now classic life story. Thereafter meeting Swami Kriyananda, founder of the Ananda Community in northern California and a direct disciple of Yogananda, Hriman was personally trained by Kriyananda.
For the last forty-five years, Hriman has practiced the Kriya Yoga taught by Yogananda and shared with many hundreds the precepts and practices of meditation. Since 1993 he and his wife, Padma, have served as the spiritual directors of Ananda Sangha in Washington State.
