About Us

Crystal Clarity Publishers — and our audio/video branch, Clarity Sound & Light — are dedicated to teaching principles and practices that help individuals develop an expanded, divine awareness, and to demonstrate practically how to apply these principles to every facet of life: business, family, health, education, and spirituality. Our offerings, based on the spiritual teachings of Paramhansa Yogananda and our founder, Swami Kriyananda, strive to combine the highest insights of the East with the practical-mindedness of the West.

Crystal Clarity means to see oneself, and all things, as aspects of a greater reality; to seek to enter into conscious attunement with that reality; and to see all things as channels for the expression of that reality. It means to see truth in simplicity; to seek always to be guided by the simple truth, not by opinions; and by what is, not by one’s own desires or prejudices. It means striving to see things in relation to their broadest potential. In one’s association with other people, it means seeking always to include their realities in one’s own. (From Kriyananda’s book Cities of Light.)

One day when Swami Kriyananda was meditating, this unusual image came to him. After dozens of sketches he was able to capture the delicate curves on paper. The movement upward represents each of us, soaring in spirit. Coming down again, we are actively trying to bring that grace back into our lives. Whenever you see this symbol, it means “Joy is within you.”
