Through her counseling, lectures, and written works, Asha Praver has helped thousands of seekers around the world to a deeper understanding of themselves and the spiritual path. She is a disciple of Paramhansa Yogananda (author of the classic Autobiography of a Yogi), a lifelong meditator, a meditation teacher and mentor for over 40 years, and a spiritual director of the Ananda Community and Temple of Palo Alto, California. She is also the author of Swami Kriyananda As We Have Known Him and Loved and Protected: Stories of Miracles and Answered Prayers.
From early in her spiritual life, Asha's teacher, Swami Kriyananda, asked her to give spiritual counsel to new seekers. It is obvious why. She is a wise soul with a talent for putting deep teachings into words everyone can understand. This book is a gift to anyone searching for truth. -- Richard Salva Forty years ago, when I first met Asha at Ananda Village, I felt immediately that here was a wise sister I could go to for guidance... Often over the years, when a question has arisen about Yogananda's teachings or Kriyananda's writings, I have heard someone say, "Let's ask Asha." And so when her new book-Ask Asha-appeared in my mailbox, my first thought was, "Of course, that's what we've been doing all along." The letters [in this book]-each one an answer to a specific call for help-are masterpieces of clarity, wisdom, and compassion. Hers is a beautiful mind, and the reader experiences an expanding universe of understanding growing from one central seed thought into a flowering tree, one that ultimately bears fruit not only of comprehension but also of inspiration and motivation to do something real about the challenges we all face. Her writing is always graceful, often entrancing-one emerges feeling understood, cleansed, and committed to useful spiritual action... The help that we ... receive through these wonderful letters is not only for our own growth toward God, but that we might help all in our orbit likewise grow toward their own Self-realization. -- Nayaswami Prakash Clarity Magazine
