_CONFIG I have read a lot of spiritual books but this much book reading is not essential or advisable for Spiritual growth. Reading good books is important but daily spiritual practice is more important. I have kept Yogananda-related books and other books on programming, design, and other topics, together on this page. This is actually strange because there is no comparison between how a spiritual book can affect you and how a book on programming, design or other such topics can affect you. Yogananda's books have affected me at a much deeper level. It feels as if their effect reaches the soul. But other normal books affect the mind at an outer level. So, there can not be any comparison between the two. Having said that, there was no good way for me to present these books other than keeping both spiritual and non-spiritual books together. Also, it is difficult to compare one Yogananda-related book with another, because they all present the same divine thoughts and spirit. I have kept my favourite spiritual books in the upper sections, but I have also created a separate section for Yogananda books because they all affect me deeply.
