Endorsements of Pathways To Joy

 Dave DeLuca's excellent new compilation, Pathways To Joy, has made accessible to the West some of Swami Vivekananda's most important teachings. Dave has culled from the nine volumes of Swami Vivekananda's works Swamiji's finest commentaries on the Vedanta philosophy and spiritual practice as revealed and taught in our most sacred scriptures. And he has also included a wonderful account of Vivekananda's spiritual triumph in Chicago at the 1893 Parliament of Religions along with a biography chronicling his blessed life and saintly work. This edition brings the invaluable teachings of Swami Vivekananda and his spiritual power and purity to the modern world in a most accessable format. I enthusiastically recommend this book to all sincere seekers of Truth.

Dave DeLuca's wonderful book, Pathways To Joy, is a clear and concise compilation of commentaries on India's spiritual treasures by Swami Vivekananda, the Indian master who first introduced these treasures to the West at the 1893 World Parliament of Religions in Chicago. Dave's book is a great reference book for all sincere seekers of truth, and it is perfect for those who wish to understand Science of Mind's mystical foundation from the world's oldest religion. I believe Vivekananda: Lessons In Classical Yoga should be required reading for all Religious Science students.
-Reverend Patrick Cameron, Pastor, Edmonton Church of Religious Science


No library of Yoga study would be complete without the revered teachings of Swami Vivekananda, and no edition of his teachings brings them to us more beautifully than Dave DeLuca's Pathways To Joy.
-Midwest Book Review


Swami Vivekananda was a spiritual pioneer, the first major figure to bring the priceless wisdom of Ancient India to the modern world. In this age of materialism, we ignore his message at our peril. Dave DeLuca has done us all a service with this accessible and attractive anthology of Swamiji's writings.
-Michael Nagler, Author of "The Search For a Non-Violent Future"


The beauty of DeLuca's edition is that it enables both the casual seeker and the serious aspirant from any background or walk in life to gain a deeper insight into and a profound understanding of the wisdom of this great master almost immediately, which cannot help but translate into meaningful and lasting inner change. I highly recommend this beautiful collection of Vivekananda's revered writings as a vital addition to any spiritual library and as a wonderful gift for seekers of all religions.

Pathways To Joy is one of 3 books that I always keep by my bedside.
-Rev. Jim Lockard, Pastor, Fort Lauderdale Church of Religious Science


The great Yoga wisdom and pathways taught in the Upanishads, the Bhagavad Gita, and the Yoga Sutras were unavailable to the West until translated into English less than 250 years ago. It was Swami Vivekananda who first presented them to the United States and the modern world at the Parliament of Religions in Chicago in 1893. Today Swami Vivekananda's teachings are revered by millions in India. Dave DeLuca has recently re-introduced the spiritual treasures of Swami Vivekananda's Vedanta teachings to the Western World in a new and inspired collection from Swamiji's writings and lectures. No sincere student of Yoga should be without Vivekananda's great wisdom and guidance, and for this reason I highly recommend Pathways To Joy.
-Swami Swahananda, Senior Minister, Ramakrishna Order, India


Dave DeLuca's book, Pathways To Joy, has taken me to a whole new level of spirituality, and set me on fire with love for the teachings of Swami Vivekananda. This book is a jewel, and I highly recommend it to every serious student of Truth.

Dave DeLuca's Pathways To Joy, is a triumph. Vivekananda's teachings, of course, are masterpieces. But this edition, this particular compilation has brought Vivekananda to me anew, with greater vitality than ever before. What a joy!
