20th-century Indian yogi and guru
POPULARITY
Paramhansa Yogananda said that a yogi should be able to stand unshaken amidst the crash of breaking worlds. In celebrating the centennial of Swami Kriyananda's birth, I want to share a few episodes from his life that illustrate exactly this quality. During Ananda's first years, Swamiji's classes were Ananda's primary source of income, funding the purchase of property and the construction of its first buildings. He taught classes every weeknight throughout the San Francisco Bay Area, and led programs at the Meditation (now Seclusion) Retreat on weekends. Few people could sustain such a schedule, but so determined was he to serve his guru that he found the strength to continue for several years.

Cosa sta succedendo nel mondo ? Guerre. Crisi climatica. Intelligenza artificiale. Il crollo delle certezze. Guardando il mondo di oggi, una domanda sorge spontanea: dove stiamo andando? In questo episodio rispondo a questa domanda attingendo a una fonte inaspettata e straordinaria: i Vangeli Apocrifi — testi ritrovati nel 1945 a Nag Hammadi, in Egitto, sepolti nella sabbia per quasi duemila anni. Il Vangelo di Tommaso, il Vangelo di Filippo, il Vangelo di Maria Maddalena parlano al nostro tempo con una lucidità che lascia senza parole. Scopriremo insieme perché il caos che stiamo vivendo non è la fine — ma uno svelamento. Perché la parola greca apokalypsis non significa "fine del mondo", ma rivelazione. E perché il futuro dell'umanità non si decide nelle stanze del potere, ma nella qualità della tua presenza interiore.

Have you ever read a book that changed your life? Let me tell you about the book that not only changed my life, it continues to change my life each year. In today's encore episode, I share a book review of Autobiography of a Yogi by Paramhansa Yogananda, the book that has influenced George Harrison of the Beatles, Steve Jobs and even Gene Roddenberry, creator of Star Trek. This book is infused with Yogananda's vibrations, which is why it is so influential. If you haven't read it yet, I hope to inspire you to do so. If you have read it, I hope to inspire you to read it again! Key Learnings: 1) To Magnify Your Miracles, it's a good practice to keep your mind filled with true stories of miraculous occurrences. This book has miracles in every chapter, no joke! 2) Even if you don't feel drawn to Yogananda as your teacher, if you call on him to help you, he promises to help you find your true teacher. I can vouch for this myself. 3) The chapter on The Law of Miracles explains, from a scientific AND spiritual perspective, exactly how miracles occur. Read this chapter over and over to deepen your understanding of miracles. "Autobiography of a Yogi is the only book I know that continues to change your life, even long after you read it."

Here are some parts of the chapter, “The Science Behind Service,” a subject of interest to many. It's remarkable how often the teachings of Paramhansa Yogananda anticipated scientific discoveries made decades later.

Have you been feeling unsettled, worried or troubled the past few weeks? As a highly sensitive soul, living a world that feels increasingly unsettled, it is more important than ever that you take excellent care of yourself! One of the best forms of self-care is taking care of your MIND. Keeping your mind calm and focused on spiritual truths is key! I have been re-reading the writings of Paramahansa Yogananda to help me find peace during these times. What does he recommend? Meditation. In this episode, I share a passage from Yogananda's book, To Be Victorious in Life, to help you remember how to respond to the external world, AND how not to. I also share some simple tips you can start doing today to help you feel better. And if you want to learn more about the upcoming training, Meditate Like a Mystic, click here to find out more. Key Learnings: Highly sensitive souls need to take better care of themselves during turbulent times like these.

That is why his teachings are SO helpful for the times we are experiencing now. If his students could meditate in a bomb shelter in England during the Blitz, you KNOW they are powerful teachings! Some simple things you can do to take care of yourself: a) Limit your intake of sensationalized news b) increase your time out in nature c) increase time reading and studying spiritual truths d) take inspired action from a place of peace and calmness “Meditation is the key to inner peace, especially in troubling times like these.” Click here to register for Mother Mary's Meditate Like a Mystic Program Click here to purchase To Be Victorious in Life by Paramahansa Yogananda Click here to join the Magnify Your Miracles Membership If you love the image on the wall behind me of Mother Mary Blessing the World, you can order your own museum quality copy at www.deepaliu.com
One of the most useful truths taught by Paramhansa Yogananda is: “The greater the will, the greater the flow of energy.” By pouring our energy into everything we do, we draw even more energy to accomplish it. Over time we discover that this increased energy flow comes from a higher source and enables us to succeed at whatever we're doing.

EVEN MORE about this episode!Author and spiritual explorer Joseph Selbie joins us to uncover the connections between spirituality and modern science, exploring how saints, sages, and quantum physicists may all describe the same reality in different ways. Joseph discusses M-theory, proposing our universe as a holographic projection from an energy-based realm, echoing spiritual teachings. Together, we delve into the intersection of mysticism and scientific skepticism, drawing insights from figures like St. Teresa of Avila, and questioning if modern education has dulled our spiritual perceptions.

Keys to Understanding Our Hidden Past, Emerging Energy Age, and Enlightened FutureAuthors, Joseph Selbie and David Steinmetz — Foreword by Swami KriyanandaRead sample — Buy: Paperback, Kindle, or Audio Book“An amazing, mind-expanding investigation of the hidden cycles underlying the rise and fall of civilizations. Despite the dark signs of the times we live in there is hope here for all of us.“—Graham Hancock, author of Fingerprints of the GodsToday's view of history cannot account for ancient anomalies, such as the Pyramids and advanced knowledge contained in India's Vedas, but in 1894 an Indian sage gave us an explanation not only for our hidden past, but for the trends of today, and for our future enlightenment — the 24,000 year yuga cycle.Millions are wonder if we are due for a world-changing global shift, and what the future holds for mankind. Paramhansa Yogananda (author of the classic Autobiography of a Yogi) and his teacher, Sri Yukteswar, offered key insights into this subject nearly a century ago. They presented a fascinating explanation of the rising and falling eras that our planet cycles through every 24,000 years.According to their teachings, we have recently passed through the low ebb in that cycle and are moving forward to a higher age — an Energy Age that will continue to revolutionize the world. They declared that we would live in a time of great social and spiritual change, and that much of what we believe to be fixed and true — our entire way of looking at the world — would ultimately be transformed and uplifted. In The Yugas, Joseph Selbie and David Steinmetz present substantial and intriguing evidence from the findings of historians and scientists that demonstrate the truth of Yukteswar's and Yogananda's revelations.Testimonials“An amazing, mind-expanding investigation of the hidden cycles underlying the rise and fall of civilizations.

“Man is essentially and eternally made in the image of God; the sins of a million lives cannot erase the perfection of his soul.” The all-forgivingness of divine love was demonstrated time and again in those who made themselves devotionally receptive to the Christ in Jesus. His words to the woman of sinful repute gave voice to the redeeming compassion of God that responds in full measure to a devotee's heart-offering that is singularly replete with love. This freely given grace is similarly expressed by the Lord in the Bhagavad Gita: “Even a consummate evildoer who turns away from all else to worship Me exclusively may be counted among the good, because of his righteous resolve. He will fast become a virtuous man and obtain unending peace.” Reigning over every action of an individual is the law of karma. Good begets good results; evil begets evil consequences. An evil action against society is a crime; an evil action against the welfare of the soul is a sin. The operation of cosmic law in regard to human actions differs from the operation of human law. A criminal is punished by the human law if and when detected and properly convicted; but if undetected he is able to go free. But the law of karma works unfailingly; it knows all and metes out its judgment accordingly. “Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap.” The topics that Yogananda covers are Biblical Concept of Sin Has Been Misunderstood for Centuries Realization of the Soul's Divinity Frees One From Effects of All Past Wrongs How Pure Love for God Brings Forgiveness of Sins Jesus' Compassion and Wisdom in Dealing With the Woman Taken in Adultery A Forgiving Attitude Toward Others Attracts God's Forgiveness for Oneself When One Forgives a Hurt, Does It Free the Offender From Karmic Consequences?

Casting out devils is not an antiquated superstition. The art of casting out devils and healing the spiritually sick of evil obsessions has been largely forgotten due to the lack in all religions of God-tuned apostles who know the subtle workings of the good and evil forces in the world. On many occasions Jesus drove evil spirits from the afflicted, as in this present verse, and as once he commanded the entities to take leave of a tormented man and enter into the bodies of pigs, who then perished in the sea. And also in the case of the woman of Canaan and her daughter, who was “grievously vexed with a devil,” and whom Jesus healed through the mother's great faith in him. Each time, he distinctly called forth the evil spirit and the victim was then made whole. Jesus, with his perfect integrity and divine knowledge, would not have referred to such cases as possession by evil spirits if they had instead been psychological, as in hysteria or lunacy. By long successful practice of meditation, a devotee can transfer his will and attention beyond the portals of the conscious and the subconscious minds into the superconscious. When he can go deeper and project his concentration consciously from superconsciousness felt within his body into the light of Christ Intelligence hidden beyond the state of wakefulness, dreams, subconsciousness, and superconsciousness, he can then behold the vast astral universe of luminous vibratory planets and vibratory spheres peopled with millions of disincarnate souls. The inhabitants of the astral world are garbed in forms made of energy and light, and are confined to higher or lower astral spheres according to their karma. There are, however, a few astral beings known as “tramp souls.” They are earthbound because of strong material urges and attachments. They roam in the ether, desirous of reentering a physical form to satisfy their need for sense enjoyments. Such beings are usually harmless, invisible “ghosts,” and have no power to affect the ordinary person. However, tramp souls do occasionally take possession of someone's body and mind, but only such vulnerable persons who are mentally unstable or have weakened their mind by keeping it often blank or unthinking. Owing to their mental emptiness, and karmic attraction, they unwittingly invite the advent of vagrant spirits within their bodies. If one leaves his car unlocked with the key in the ignition, any uncouth character may get in and drive off. Tramp souls, having lost their own physical-body vehicle to which they were inordinately attached, are on the watch for such unattended conveyances.

So excited to finally read some Paramahansa Yogananda. He was an amazing teacher writer and guru who fundamentally altered the wests understanding of spirituality on a variety of levels. Yogananda is at the same level as Neville Goddard and Joseph Murphy. He talks with a deep level of knowledge about mystical subjects. He is authentic, rationale and surprisingly talks about a variety of interesting subjects. In his book The Second Coming Of Christ: The Resurrection Of The Christ WIthin You, Yogananda goes deep and talks about Jesus in a powerful manner that really resonates and upgrades the level of thoughtful discussion about this subject. I plan on covering several of these teaching. He has 75 discourses that cover everything you can think of regarding Jesus and the new testament. He goes into the scripture itself and adds amazing revelations about what is really going on in these teachings. In the 7th Discourse Yogananda talks abou the role of Satan In God's Creation. If found his discussion, informative, fascinating and mindblowing. Here he discussesThe Role of Satan in God's CreationThe Nature and Origin of EvilWhy Evil Has a Place in God's PlanThe Origin of Satan, the Creative Power That Rebelled Against GodThe Conflict in Creation Between Christ Consciousness and SatanHow Satan Caused the Fall of Man From Divine ConsciousnessMan's Place in the Conflict Between God's Goodness and Satan's TemptationsPerceiving the Taintless Spirit by Transcending the Dualities of Delusion You will find this an provocative and really interesting expansion of the teaching of good and evil and helps to further answer the question.
