   Paramahansa Yogananda's Blurbs
About me:
 

I, Paramahansa Yogananda, was born Mukunda Lal Ghosh in Gorakhpur, Uttar Pradesh, India into a devout Bengali family on January 5, 1893. From my earliest years, my awareness and experience of the spiritual was far beyond the ordinary. In my youth I sought out many of India's Hindu sages and saints, hoping to find an illumined teacher to guide me in my spiritual quest.

I met my guru, Swami Sri Yukteswar Giri, in 1910, at the age of 17. After passing my Intermediate Examination in Arts from the Scottish Church College, Calcutta, I did my graduation in religious studies from the Serampore College, a constituent college of the University of Calcutta and in 1915, I took formal vows into the monastic Swami Order and became Swami Yogananda. In 1917, I began my life's mission with the founding and running of a school for boys in Ranchi, India that combined modern educational techniques with yoga training and spiritual ideals. This school would later become Yogoda Satsanga Society of India, the Indian branch of my American Organization.

In 1920, I went to the United States as India's delegate to an International Congress of Religious Liberals convening in Boston. That same year I founded Self-Realization Fellowship to disseminate worldwide my teachings on India's ancient practices and philosophy of Yoga and its tradition of meditation. For the next several years, I lectured and taught on the East coast and in 1924 embarked on a cross-continental speaking tour. The following year, I established in Los Angeles an international headquarters for Self-Realization Fellowship, which became the spiritual and administrative heart of my growing work. After fifteen years of my services in the West, Sri Yukteswar conferred upon me the title Paramhansa, which means "supreme swan."

In 1946, I published my life story, Autobiography of a Yogi, which was instrumental in introducing vedic philosophy to the West. It has since been translated into eighteen languages and remains a best seller. It includes my and Sri Yukteswar's attempts to explain certain verses and events of the Bible such as the Garden of Eden story, and descriptions of my encounters with leading spiritual figures such as Therese Neumann, the Hindu saint Sri Anandamoyi Ma, Mohandas Gandhi, Nobel laureate in literature Rabindranath Tagore, famous Indian scientist Sir Jagadish Chandra Bose and Nobel Prize winning physicist Sir C. V. Raman.

On March 7, 1952, I entered mahasamadhi, a master's final conscious exit from the body. My passing was marked by an extraordinary phenomenon: a notarized statement signed by the Director of Forest Lawn Memorial Park testified: "No physical disintegration was visible in his body even twenty days after death....This state of perfect preservation of a body is, so far as we know from mortuary annals, an unparalleled one....Yogananda's body was apparently in a phenomenal state of immutability."

This photo, commonly known as "The Last Smile," is the last known photo of me, taken shortly before I left my body.

My guru lineage was responsible for providing me with the central discipline of my teachings. Sri Yukteswar was the disciple of Lahiri Mahasaya, in turn the disciple of the ageless guru Mahavatar Babaji, who had revived and—through his disciples—begun the spread of Kriya Yoga, described as a "spiritual science of Self Realization." It was through me that Kriya Yoga was brought to the West.

Divinity has one ultimate secret, which it will also whisper in your ear if your mind becomes quieter than the fog at sunset: the God of this world is found within, and you know it is found within: in those hushed silent times when the mind becomes still, the body relaxes into infinity, the senses expand to become one with the world- in those glistening times, a subtle luminosity, a serene radiance, a brilliantly transparent clarity shimmers as the true nature of all manifestation, erupting every now and then in a compassionate Radiance before whom all idols retreat, a love so fierce it adoringly embraces both light and dark, both good and evil, both pleasure and pain equally....

"A myriad of clouds cannot extinguish the sun.  Remember this through the overcast of worry, stress, or anger.  In form, these thoughts seem to obstruct the Light of Love.  Deluges of tears surely fall.  Yet, despite ominous shrouds of uncertainty or storms upon the heart, the Light of Truth shines strong and sure far above all temporal impediments.  Trust beyond appearances and radiate in the unchanging skies of Love."  ~Pamela Silberman~

"From within or from behind, a light shines through us upon things and makes us aware that we are nothing, but the light is all."  ~Ralph Waldo Emerson~

"Candle light, moon light, star light, the brightest glow is from love light."  ~Grey Livingston~

Peace, Love...
Always, Michelle

I love this beautiful poem.

I died from the mineral and became a plant.
I died from the plant, and re-appeared in the animal.
I died from the animal, and became a man.
Wherefore, then, should I fear?
When did I grow less by dying?
Next time I shall die from the man,
That I may grow the wings of an angel.
From the angel, too, must I seek advance: all
Things shall perish save God’s face.
Once more shall I wing my way above the angels;
I shall become that which entereth not the imagination.
Then let me become naught, naught.For the harpstring
Crieth unto me: ‘Verily, unto God shall we return.’

Tengo el aroma maravilloso de en una encarnación anterior, tengo un sueño que late por una encarnación futura. Siento que nuestra vida se pierde en una linea eterna, desde el origen a la eternidad. Quiero ser responsable de como camina el mundo y cuanto aporté en otras encarnaciones y detener mi paso y reconciliarme con mis hermanos con los cuales me une el Karma bendito que corrige mi andar. sembré libremente y cosecho obligadamente de mis actos pasados.
A todo aquel que se le enciende la luz de la eternidad no se le apaga jamas, aun en la duda y la negación Una sencilla reflexión, de un humilde hermano Claudio González
