"""I dwell in a make-believe world of shadows that I pretend to bring to life. Narayani, on the other hand, swims in oceans of love and is washed ashore time after time in cycles of rebirth that brings her a fulfilment that only very few special atmans have the good fortune to live and experience. In this marvelous little book she has written, Narayani entices you to swim with her and share in her joys and happiness, but at the end we are left lost at sea, in awe of a girl who dropped in to inhabit our shores and brought comfort and peace to those who needed her most. My Heart Remembers is an endearing, unashamed, and humble testimony to love and worship of a ""King."" -Victor Banerjee, actor who portrays Paramhansa Yogananda in Swami Kriyananda's film The Answer ""This book is a beautiful gift of love to Swami Kriyananda and to all of its readers. Through the clear window of an open heart, it offers a personal glimpse of the last years of Swamiji's life."" -Nayaswami Devi, Spiritual Codirector, Ananda Worldwide, author of the Touch of Light series ""Seeing Swami Kriyananda through Narayani's eyes will help you better understand his spiritual greatness, whether you knew him or not. Narayani's own struggles-and growth-are also very interesting and enlightening. It was quite hard to put the book down once I began!"" -Nayaswami Devarshi, Director, Ananda Kriya Ministry, author of Kriya Yoga ""A wonderful and charming account of a devotee's awakening to the spiritual path! Narayani lovingly served as Swami Kriyananda's personal assistant and caregiver during the last years of his life, and through her eyes we glimpse the greatness of Swamiji's spirit, his wisdom, and his all-embracing kindness. Her journey is ours and conveys what many of us have felt but have been unable to express."" -Nayaswami Jaya, Spiritual Codirector, Ananda India"
