Publishers’ Note
Sri Swami Sivanandaji’s writings are characteristic in being free from the rigid technical nomenclature and the austere logic usually met with in texts dealing with super-mundane matters and in thus being accessible even to the most non-intellectual type of aspirants.
These priceless precepts have already been made available to seekers of Truth all over the world through "My Magazine of India" for over twenty-five years.
A point worth mentioning here is that most of the earliest disciples of the Master (e.g., Sri Swami Paramanandaji, Sri Swami Narayananandaji, Sri Swami Chidanandaji came into contact with Sri Gurudev and His message through the pages of "My Magazine of India".
For the benefit of the devotees, these precepts were brought out in a book form in the year 1958.
This beautiful production is a joyous hand-book to one and all in their daily life, which instructs like a philosopher, coaxes like a mother, and makes merry like a friend. A page from this book cannot go without seriously benefiting its reader. We have no doubt that it will illumine many a soul that seeks Light.
—THE DIVINE LIFE SOCIETY
