- The ancient science of yoga as a unifying force for our modern and often restless civilization;
- Ways Paramahansa Yogananda saw spirituality transcending differences in various religions and cultures;
- How meditation can bring inner peace and balance to those facing many challenges and daily stresses;
- A message for today’s youth as they look to improve their lives and the world.
