A Gift of Love and Devotion - Several Copies of Kamala's Books

It was a special joy to learn that a website devoted to Kamala Silva, the great disciple and minister of Paramhansa Yogananda was created recently by loving devotees in the San Francisco area where Kamala conducted her long ministry and established the Blessed Master's work in that area. I was blessed to know Kamala through many years of personal correspondence. Also during the many years I lived in the Encinitas area and attended the SRF services and retreats there, almost all the lay disciples owned her books and loved her. Those books, The Flawless Mirror and Priceless Precepts have long been out of print. Kamala and her husband Edward at their own expense quietly printed and sold these books to share Kamala's long life and service to Paramhansaji, as one of his earliest and most advanced disciples. In particular, The Flawless Mirror is the first book ever written by a direct disciple about Paramhansa Yogananda and remains a spiritual treasure.
 
The Flawless Mirror, which tells the story of Kamala's many years as the Master's disciple, and Priceless Precepts, which was taken from her many lectures as his minister, have been a great inspiration to countless devotees. The hardback version of these books were first published in the 1960's and the last edition was published in 1987. Since Kamala's passing I have been purchasing and collecting "very fine" editions of The Flawless Mirror, knowing how difficult it is now to find an edition in excellent condition, and how rare these editions have become.
 
In the spirit of supporting this lovely website, I have donated a number of these fine quality editions to the "For the Love of Kamala" site to be sold to help fund the future work of this small group which is lovingly keeping her spirit and life of devotion and service to Paramhansaji alive. The purchase of these editions will serve to help these devotees in their future projects, and it is hoped that at some point in the future that lovely paperback editions of Kamala's books will be printed so that devotees everywhere will be able to feel the inspiration of her wonderful books, and at a very affordable price for all. Until then, the discerning devotee collector will find these fine editions a priceless addition to their spiritual library and know that the cost has gone to such a wonderful project. 
 
Very sincerely,  Anthony Plumer
 

From the Editors 

Our deepest thanks to this dear and generous friend. We will begin adding Anthony's contributions to the website this week.

1987 - 10/5

The joy of God entered my heart during meditation tonight - most wonderful.  In it the blessing of God, Master, and our Paramgurus.  God so tangible - such a special blessing.  Pure divine joy.

1985 - 6/28

Tonight around 9:30 I was thinking of Master and the OM came so loud - prevading me with such a great peace.  I was "still" and absorbed in it - then of the loved words of the OM song - then to think of the centers - and then to remember so many special times with Master and his words to me. The times also in the super conscious state [during sleep] so wonderful.  The peace fills my mind, feeling, body and thoughts.  Thank you Master so much for your great blessings that are still with me as I write.

1985 - 6/21

 Birthday

A spiritual blessing - all day was filled with great peace and withdrawn from all else, such contentment.  A most special inner stillness -   and as if part of great oneness in the peace of God - from Master in God. 

1985 - 4/19

Late this afternoon the OM is great and loud in my ears - so wonderful to be so blessed.  It had been almost faint for a couple of days - but now is here.

1985 - 4/13

Tonight the OM came resounding in my ears and through me - bringing a great thankfulness, peace and contentment - thoughts of God - Spirit and Master filling my mind. (my first words in this diary - 1985)

1982 - 12/29

In 3 hour meditation with Bernadette on the first part of Genesis (listening to OM - and seeing light and deeply absorbed in the words of Genesis - first lines)  God and the word (cosmic vibration) and the light.  I cried afterward - so filled with the beauty of attunement with God - in my heart.  A spiritual pervading of this Divine Blessing.

1982 - 3/9

A great spiritual peace - the whole night from midnight on and into whole morning.  Prefect Peace - in 9th meditation with Bernadette -  there was such stillness around me - in body, mind, room. Hours of greatest stillness pervading room and me. (no outside sounds either) But this was an inner stillness.  A rare and wonderful blessing.
