This book contains the basis of the teachings of the holy fathers, in which the Jesus prayer is most important. It contains quotations from the 3rd edition of Philokalia published in Moscow in 1913 by a Russian cloister founded in the name of Saint Panteleimon on Athos.. The novel describes the experiences of many saints and includes the prayer exercises which helped them to reach God. This book tries to help those seeking God in these modern times. Though the world is full of God's grace, to manage contemplation of Him with so many temptations is not easy, and we can well use the protection and experience of the saints, which goes back almost two thousand years. Besides the methods of contemplation, also especially useful is the breathing technique from the tradition of Kriya yoga combined with prayer which allows the practitioner to advance on the spiritual Path without going into seclusion and renouncing family and public life.
