Top Ten Spiritual Articles of the YearArticles on spirituality are always timely, based as they are on unchanging principles of timeless verities. So as the writings on spiritual life on this blog drop off of the blog’s front page, they yet remain valuable for spiritual aspirants. Here is a list of some of the best articles from the past year, which we hope will continue to be useful for readers of the Atma Jyoti Blog, whether old or new.

A useful article about the benefits of meditation. “Meditation is not an end in itself, but rather the means to an end–to the daily living out of the illumined consciousness produced by meditation. We go into meditation so we can come out of meditation more conscious and better equipped to live our life.”

This is one of the most popular articles on the Blog, as the wide range of web resources in it are exceptionally useful.

A practical analysis of the negative habits which can lead to a spiritual downfall and a miserable life.

An important article about remembering God at the moment of death. “The moment of death is perhaps the most important moment in our life, equalled only by the moment of birth.”

How our choices in this world determine our future births.

The first of a series of articles by Yogananda on happiness, written during his early years in America in East-West and Inner Culture magazines.

An understanding of the mind is essential in dealing with the mind in meditation. A very helpful article.

Swami Nirmalananda’s commentary on the Gita is a unique combination of exhaustive study and scholarship, and insight and wisdom gleaned from personal experience. It offers new gems that will enrich all true seekers.

This is a reprint of a remarkable article exploring the anatomical differences  in ­ teeth, jaws, and digestive systems between herbivores and meat-eaters. How do humans fit in the scheme of things? Read and find out!

This posting is actually from 2007, but is a valuable resource for students of meditation and spiritual life.
