A Renunciate Order for the New Age
By Nayaswami Kriyananda

“I have a soul-tingling feeling that this new Order is the watershed of a new era of spirituality on earth — perhaps difficult to see en masse during our time, but a clear demarcation from the perspective of those in the future.”

—Nayaswami Kriyananda
