Description
Paramahansa Yogananda
Chosen by Mahavatar Babaji to go to the West and introduce the science of Kriya Yoga meditation and the similarities between the teachings of Bhagavan Krishna in the Bhagavad-Gita and Lord Jesus Christ from the New Testament.
He was the first great Yoga Master to spend over 40 years in America, tirelessly establishing Self -Realization Fellowship via the training of suitable disciples that could carry on the mission of disseminating his teachings.
Yogananda emphasized the Royal Path of Yoga, combining devotion to God, service to one's fellow man, and the daily dedicated practice of the consciousness evolving Kriya yoga meditation technique.
He worked countless quiet miracles in his life to help others. But many have agreed that one of his greatest written miracles was his bestselling spiritual classic “Autobiography of a Yogi”.
As a life-changing book, millions have been deeply surprised to find it's inspiring stories awaken an enthusiastic desire to change their life in such a way that pursues the needed self-development for attaining greater happiness.
Swami Sri Yukteswar was little known to the outside world until Paramahansa Yogananda introduced how his Guru trained him in the ancient yoga tradition from the pages of the “Autobiography of a Yogi”.
Below are several quotes associated with true anecdotal stories he tells to the young Yogananda in this popular spiritual classic.
“Look fear in the face and it will cease to trouble you’
“Attachment is blinding; it lends an imaginary halo of attractiveness to
the object of desire.”
“ Good and positive suggestions should instruct the sensitive ears of children. Their early ideas long remain sharply etched”
“ Tender inner weaknesses, revolting at mild touches of censure, are like diseased body parts, recoiling before even delicate handling”
“Some people try to be tall by cutting off the heads of others!”
“Everything in the future will improve if you make the spiritual effort now.”
