The Golden Present: Daily Inspirational Readings by Sri Swami Satchidananda Kindle Edition

If I could, I would give this book 10 stars. It is made to be read every day for a boost in spirit and in mind, and I always have a sense of "hmmmmmm" after reading the golden present for the day. I will bw forever grateful for these beautiful pieces of knowledge and you will be, too. These daily devotions are written so simply but pack such a punch that you will be blown away. There have been days that I have missed the daily lesson, and when I go back to read them, it seems to coincide with what already happened and therefore sheds a brighter light on what I experienced. I totally recommend this book to everyone and will be using this every day until I can no longer.

I am on my second way through this daily devotional book. It is so encompassing and each message seems to hit just what I need. It was a gift from my son and I have given it as gifts to friends. I am a devout Christian and find these messages meaningful and most inspirational.

love the beautiful thought for a day, so calming, reassuring. Has set me on a path for true happiness and peace

Been giving these as gifts to fellow yoga teachers in training and to some of my mentors. Some great anecdotes, some not so great but overall I think is warrants 5 stars

I'm reading the passage that is outlined for each day. There is quite a few passages that have really made me stop and think. The interesting thing is that the passages I'm reading feel like they have so much bearing on the world today even though the book was written many years ago. I am finding it to be very inspirational.

Words of wisdom as serene as can be. Pure bliss, golden mantras and many a spiritually awakening moments one may have reading this book. I know it has been so for me (so far).

That is the most useful and interesting book on Yoga I have ever read! The bad feeling about myself, life problems, relationships with difficult people and dealing with annoying problems- that is all gone! The words are just magical! This book brings inner peace at once! Amazing!

I have the paperback version of this book and just recently down loaded the version for my Kindle as I'm traveling. I love the daily simple and easy to understand inspiration from Swami Satchidananda. The book is set up as a calendar and each page is a day of the year. The different topics relating to daily life help me to be inspired, encouraged, think, change, learn and stay in the present moment. This daily reading brings me back to source everyday and I can feel the peace and love from the text. A book that you'll want to read year after year. Om Shanti.

We have bought several copies of this book and always keep one spare to give to anyone who is going through a challenging time in their life. The spiritual (but not religious) messages it contains are frequently inspiring and always thought provoking. A very special book.

Nice wisdom to meditate on

Swami Satchidananda was someone who I had the joy of meeting personally, a long time ago, so was really pleased to be recommended this book by a friend. It rekindles childhood memories for me and I still love his simple, descriptive way of explaining things, so clearly. You cannot go wrong with his book!

Resourceful

Thank you so much!
