“WE LIVE IN AN AGE of social, moral, ideational, and spiritual confusion. Values are often dismissed as ‘merely relative’ and therefore lacking in objective validity. Our basest instincts are paraded before us as the essence of who we really are….
“My hope is, by avoiding unrealistic ‘solutions’ … to show that a way may indeed be found out of the dark labyrinth of cynicism into a sunny world of promise.” – Swami Kriyananda
Swami Kriyananda and Paramhansa Yogananda
Out of the Labyrinth is for anyone who wants to understand the meaning of life without blind belief or rigid dogmas. It presents an approach to values that is crystal-clear, unflinchingly honest, and replaces nihilism with hope and inspiration. “This book is wonderful — wonderful, I tell you! It is completely in harmony with the findings of modern science, yet it provides them with deep meaning. This message must be spread everywhere!” — Leon Kolb, PhD, Professor of Physiology, Emeritus, Stanford University Medical School; noted Jewish scholar
