Original Kriya Yoga Volume I: Step-by-step Guide to Salvation


Rangin Mukherjee - 2017
    Through a combination of mis-communication and intentional alteration, however, most of what is taught as Kriya Yoga today is far from what was originally taught, often to the detriment of sincere practitioners. In this short, but practical and experiential guide, Sri Mukherjee reveals the techniques of Kriya Yoga, as originally taught by Lahiri Mahasaya. Sri Mukherjee is the disciple of Sri Gyanendranath Mukhopadhyay (Mukherjee) who compiled the Pranab Gita from the teachings of his Guru, Swami Pranabanandaji. Swami Pranabanandaji is well known as the main disciple of Lahiri Mahasaya, and so what is made available here has not been altered through the distorting effect of formal organizations (which Mahasaya and Pranabanandaji both eschewed), but has been kept intact through the age-old method of direct guru-to-disciple transmission. Fearing the loss of the original Kriya Yoga as taught by Lahiri Mahasaya, Sri Mukherjee has generously written this book in order to record and share this most valuable of all human knowledge.

Chesapeake Cool (Mid Atlantic Adventure Series, #1)


Don Rich - 2017
    He knew he’d have his hands full just renovating the defunct waterfront hotel and marina. However, there was something about Sally, the airport manager, that captured his attention and he wanted to find out more about her. But he’d really need to focus on his new property because the internet auction neglected to mention that it came with its own drug smuggling murderer. Paulie Sawyer was determined to keep the place for himself, and he was the most ruthless and resourceful squatter that Casey had ever faced in his real estate investing career. Even after discovering all this, Casey Shaw still saw the property as an opportunity for a fresh start, and maybe Sally Hudgins could fit into it as well. If the drug runner wasn't enough of a hurdle, the area itself came with some big challenges including a crooked building inspector, and a reputation for the locals giving outsiders the cold shoulder. Casey is what the Shore locals call a 'Come Here' instead of a 'Born Here' which can be a huge handicap for anyone who moves in. However, having had enough of the congestion and crime of southeast Florida, Casey still wants out and he is determined to make this project work. He was a 'Born Here' back in South Florida, before it was overrun with its own 'Come Here's' that bought into Florida's new, modern look, the one that Casey despises. For quite a while Casey had been struggling with his conscience. He made a fortune buying and selling properties in his native Palm Beach County. Unfortunately, he had to watch as many of the properties he renovated and cared for were bulldozed and replaced by his buyers. Concrete and glass canyons now stand where the quaint downtown of his childhood had once stood. Even though he wasn't the developer, he still felt guilty about playing a part in erasing the old Florida culture that had once been the soul of West Palm Beach. And the Florida real estate juggernaut would continue to roll, with or without him. He'd prefer the latter, as it was time to go. Except for leaving behind his best friend and mentor, Dave Chauncey, moving out is the easy part. Casey and his Golden Retriever, Bimini, live aboard an older 58' Hatteras yacht-fisherman. Leaving is as simple as untying the dock-lines and heading North to the Chesapeake. Moving in, however, turns out to be not so easy. Casey has brought along his friend and now business partner, Michael "Murph" Murphy, and together they discover they have purchased more than just real estate on the Chesapeake Bay. It turns out they bought into a boatload of trouble as well. The characters that Casey and Murph run into on the Eastern Shore rival some they thought they were leaving behind in Florida. Even though they are both newcomers, Casey and Murph assemble a unique group of friends, including a gorgeous young redhead, a matchmaking Sheriff, and even a Washington lobbyist. So, can Casey and Murph make the business a success while finding love among two of the Eastern Shore's natives? Only if they can learn to dodge bullets and get along with the natives, and they’ll need to learn fast. So download this page turner today! Its FREE with your Kindle Unlimited subscription.
