Scientific Healing Affirmations

First published in 1924, 'Scientific Healing Affirmations' is a handbook to optimistic and potent thought by Paramahansa Yogananda, an Indian Hindu monk, yogi, and guru who presented millions to the teachings of meditation and Kriya Yoga through his organization Self-Realization Fellowship/Yogoda Satsanga Society of India, and who lived his last 32 years in America.

This work was far ahead of its time in demonstrating how influential and useful positive affirmations can be in one’s daily life. Now a mainstream tradition and embraced by the medical and scientific community for how affirmations can significantly improve one’s psychological and physical state, Yogananda was one of the first to bring this ancient Eastern spiritual practice to America and the West. Thorough, extensive, hopeful, and available, this guides readers in integrating affirmations into their lives and continues to be one of the most important books ever written on this powerful and life-changing practice.

Paramahansa Yogananda was born in as Mukunda Lal Ghosh. He was an Indian yogi and guru.

Some of the books written by him are Karma and Reincarnation, How To Have Courage, Calmness, And Confidence: The Wisdom Of Yogananda 1st Edition, The Bhagavad Gita 1st Edition, and Whispers From Eternity 1st Edition.

At the age of 17, in the year 1910, he found his guru Swami Yukteswar Giri. Yogananda graduated with a B.A. from the Serampore College, and in 1915 took vows to join the Swami Order. Here, he was given the name Swami Yogananda Giri. The Yogi established the Yogoda Satsanga Society of India in Ranchi. In 1920, he was sent to Boston to attend the International Congress of Religious Liberals. He lived in America for the next thirty years (1920-1952), and taught the soul-awakening techniques of Kriya Yoga to many people. Yogananda visited India in 1935, where he was given the monastic title of Paramahansa, which represents the highest spiritual attainment. The Yogi passed away in 1952, and his funeral service was attended by with hundreds of people in Los Angeles. On his twenty-fifth death anniversary, the Indian government issued a special commemorative stamp in his honour.
