Astral illness • What books are best to read? • Why is loyalty to a path helpful? • Suicide is the lack of desire for anything of this world - why is it not beneficial for the devotee? (Conversations with Yogananda: 110–112)

Why is Suicide Not a Helpful Solution to Great Suffering?

A collection of all talks by Nayaswami Asha, a lifelong disciple of Paramhansa Yogananda.
With warmth and wisdom, Asha weaves spiritual teaching into daily, ordinary life. She is a master teacher, considered by many to be one of the most nuanced and clear teachers of Yoga in the world today.
Asha studied and worked closely with Swami Kriyananda, a direct disciple of Paramhansa Yogananda, for 45 years.
Asha means “hope” in Sanskrit. Her teachings are non-sectarian — sharing the truths that underlie the great religions. She draws freely from both the Bible and the Bhagavad Gita in her teaching.
