Burning sage benefits include a shift in the feeling of the space it is burned in from one of stressful or "bad vibes" to one that is very peaceful. The purifying smoky aroma of sage clears the air and helps one feel a sense of calm. It has a very earthy and botanical fragrance.

New to smudging? Begin by purchasing one of our botanicals. The two most popular are Palo Santo and White Sage. Hold a flame to the botanical until it begins to burn, then blow out and place it in the smudging bowl, abalone shell or incense holder.* Let the botanical smolder. The smoke that fills the air is what you use to smudge in your space. You can simply walk around the area that you want to smudge, carefully waving the botanical in the air and letting the smoke fill the space.

  None loves in the world;

  This world knows not how to love;

  My heart yearns, O Mother, to go there,

  Where love reigns supreme."

A Message from the Founder about Saris:

As I frequently visit temples and travel to India, I have worn saris for many years. I have a huge sari collection myself and adore every minute of sari shopping and sari wearing. I am a Western Woman so I always get comments when wearing a sari, how did I learn, where did I get them. At the end of the day, saris are just beautiful and don't let not knowing how to wear them properly stop you for getting one.

If you are intimidated by wearing them, don't be, I have included a video on how to wear them below. Enjoy! 

Autobiography of a Yogi is at once a beautifully written account of an exceptional life and a profound introduction to the ancient science of Yoga and its time-honored tradition of meditation. This acclaimed autobiography presents a fascinating portrait of one of the great spiritual figures of our time. With engaging candor, eloquence, and wit, Paramahansa Yogananda tells the inspiring chronicle of his life: the experiences of his remarkable childhood, encounter with many saints and sages during his youthful search throughout India for an illumined teacher, ten years of training in the hermitage of a revered yoga master, and the thirty years that he lived and taught in America.

Also recorded here are his meetings with Mahatma Gandhi, Rabindranath Tagore, Luther Burbank, the Catholic stigmatist Therese Neumann, and other celebrated spiritual personalities of East and West. The author clearly explains the subtle but definite laws behind both the ordinary events of everyday life and the extraordinary events commonly termed miracles. His absorbing life story becomes the background for a penetrating and unforgettable look at the ultimate mysteries of human existence.

Selected as "One of the 100 Best Spiritual Books of the Twentieth Century," Autobiography of a Yogi has been translated into 20 languages, and is regarded worldwide as a classic of religious literature. Several million copies have been sold, and it continues to appear on best-seller lists after more than sixty consecutive years in print. Profoundly inspiring, it is at the same time vastly entertaining, warmly humorous and filled with extraordinary personages. Self-Realization Fellowship’s editions, and none others, include extensive material added by the author after the first edition was published, including a final chapter on the closing years of his life.
