The Ririan Project blog almost always has great tips on personal development, but today's post, Get Your Soul In Shape With These 11 Most Deeply Held Wisdoms, was fantastic. Many people only focus on how to have a nice looking outer appearance, but utterly fall short in terms of having a beautiful spirit as well.

Yoga Video: How to Sleep Correctly by Paramahansa Yogananda
Since there is very little video footage (that I've seen) of Paramahansa Yogananda, I guess we have to be grateful for the video footage that we do have.
