A Practicing Yogi in Brooklyn

By Richard Franza

This book is an invaluable book to possess for anyone who would like to develop themselves spiritually, have a wonderful life-changing experience, benefit in so many other ways, and would like to also be a practicing yogi. This book is of immense value especially to anyone who is a practitioner of a form of yoga. In this book there is not only a decent amount of information that pertains to spiritual matters, but also certain techniques that I have been practicing over the course of the last eight years. I feel that this book was well written and just about anyone who is of proper age should easily be able to comprehend the contents of it.

Richard Franza

I am a spiritualist who has been practicing certain techniques over the course of the last eight years. I am developing myself spiritually, had a wonderful life-changing experience, benefitting in so many other ways, and had come to a realization that I am a practicing yogi mainly because of practicing these techniques. I wish to share these techniques with others so that they can have an excellent opportunity to possibly experience what I am experiencing, a much better life, and become a practicing yogi if they are not one already.

‘Many of us humans wish for those things such as fortune and fame. These things will never be completely satisfying to us humans. It is becoming a yogi in life, this is what will bring to our lives much richness. There is hardly anything more refreshing in life than to be in the company of a yogi. A yogi is what I wish to be in life.’

Richard Franza

This book is dedicated to all of the great yogis that this world has ever known.

If You Are Truly Wise

A yogi tries to bring out the very best of themselves

As often as they can,

They do this without the intention of impressing others,

They do this in order to not only set a wonderful example for others

to follow,

But also to be a blessing unto others;

This I am certain that you can understand.

I am practicing to be a yogi as they,

This is what I wish to be in life,

Come what may,

I wish to be in my own heavenly world

And not a part of this world

With all of its many problems and much strife.

May I inspire you to also be a practicing yogi

If you are not one already,

May this book be of immense value to you;

Don’t settle for an earthly life,

Reach for the heavenly sky above

And be as bright as the brightest of shining stars;

Practice to become a yogi in life if you are truly wise.

Richard Franza
