Self-realization is the oldest yet most radical journey of humankind—the discovery of the divine within. Paramahansa Yogananda called self-realization the “new religion” for a new age, where dogma dissolves and unity reigns.
India must stop seeking external approval for her gurus and saints and start listening to her own soul. Only when Indians recognise the value of their gurus not because the world applauds them, but because they are grounded in dharma, will we mature spiritually.
By reviving Kriya Yoga and presenting meditation as both a science and a sacred art, Paramhansa Yogananda made accessible the eternal truths of yoga to all, irrespective of caste, class or creed. Yogananda’s teachings on meditation indicate that the bliss experienced in meditation is not the prerogative of one exclusive group, but a path open to all.
A living example of the transformative power of yoga, Vivekananda, a bridge between East and West, is a revolutionary force who continues to guide humanity towards a more holistic and interconnected existence.
“There is so much inspiration, deep insight, and devotion to Paramhansa Yogananda,” in Beyond Autobiography of a Yogi, says NAYASWAMI DEVI, Spiritual Director, Ananda Sangha, Worldwide, adding “the clarity in writing makes this a great book.”
Oswald Pereira has brought alive the yogi who inspired many. After painstaking research, he shares his insights into Yogananda’s legacy that has touched millions. A valuable book, both for reading and reference, written in an engaging style.
