Thought Power Study
Here, we study the teachings of Sri Swami Sivananda Saraswati found in his book - Thought Power. The text within describes the process of changing one's thoughts to alleviate suffering and experience God realization. Thought Power provides a psychological framework and then practical guidance to change thoughts for the better.
The paperback version is available. eReader versions are also available either for free (ePub / PDF) or nearly free (Kindle).

"If you knew the power of your thought you would never think a negative thought again." ~ Peace Pilgrim
Peace is the prize that we seek (for with inner peace we know the happiness and love we have sought), and through seeing and uplifting our thought we may know and reside in peace. Thought is both what binds us to suffering and what frees us. That which binds is called "negative" thought and what which frees and uplifts us is called "positive".
