Summary: I don't think this is a beautiful book
Comment: This book is from a person who claims to be a disciple of a disciple of Paramahansa Yogananda ( and surely it is true... ). As the teachings given (in my opinion) seem to be 2nd hand ones; the worst thing of this book is that it contains a strange (and apparently wrong) form of kriya yoga which, I think, it may be either delusive (if it is a fake) or dangerous (if for some reason it really works). I think that kriya yoga is a holy science and maybe it should not be taught this way. Furthermore other techniques, mudras and so on are described, but as far as I know all these things do not belong to the kriya yoga tradition of Paramamhansa Yogananda.
I suggest you should read some book of Paramahansa Yogananda, Roy Eugene Davis or Swami Kriyananda instead of this one.

Summary: "Don't Judge A Book By Its Title"
Comment: Kriya Yoga refers to a specific meditation technique popularized in American by Paramahansa Yogananda in "Autbiography of A Yogi." Maddeningly, that book never reveals the technique, leaving the interested reader to send away to Yogananda's ashram for months of preliminary lessons before he is eligible for "initiation" into the core technique. I bought this book, "The Spiritual Science..." hoping the technique would be explained. It isn't. He explains pretty much everything else in Yoga, and does so quite well; the book is a good compendium of techniques. But the actual Kriya technique is only taught if you go visit his ashram in Chicago, according to a wispy-voiced woman I spoke to there. If you want to learn a straight version of the actual Kriya technique, buy The Sacred Science by Norman Paulsen. He's thrown in a lot of Christian theory and jargon, but the technique itself is what he learned from Yogananda, and he gives it to you in a clear and practical form.

Summary: Top Quality
Comment: Comprehensive coverage of yoga as a health-creating and sustaining system, as well as fulfilling practice. The author's warm humor and deep wisdom is evident throughout. The book contained practical and highly beneficial information that I was able to apply immediately to life improvement. This book tremendously impacted my life. Highly recommended.
