How a Living Master works silently in the
in the background of our lives.
Another true Story of the worlds
Great most Recent Avatar.

At about 15 yrs of age, a neighbor got me interested in physical fitness, decades before it became so trendy.
There was a spare room in our large home that I was later allowed to use as a personal weightlifting gym. While saving up for a set of barbells, I was creating a course and making the equipment for the new home gym.

Soon procured some weightlifting mags and a couple of books on anatomy to better understand how to work on this growing machine,….the human body is an interesting instrument to live with. This was the beginning of my health education that in recent years gave me the wonderful blessing of avoiding the Covid 19 Vaxx trap. (it was never fully tested) nor is it the best treatment!

Great day when the weights arrived!

Faithfully following a program and keeping careful records, progress was very steady and confidence building. Changing ones diet is also recommended?
Gaining so many benefits from this activity, since as I started off as a pretty skinny kid with a lower than normal IQ…
After about 30 months of faithful practice this body was more like magazine weight lifting models (not too bulky though), and my school marks went to the top 10% of the class.
Waking up ones brain at puberty is an amazing experience, master is always pointing us in the best direction at every moment of life’s journey! Seize those precious opportunities! Hesitate no longer friends and Masters devotees!

Around this time an unknown genius (Paul D Frank) moved into my neighborhood.
The mothers timing is impeccable and precise, stay alert!
This noble man became a mentor to me for a year or two. Also became a great lifelong friend.
Little did I know at the time that he had studied the Self-Realization Fellowship Lessons course.
Although I don’t believe he ever received Kriya Yoga initiation. He later told me that he had read the “Autobiography of a Yogi” shortly before meeting me!
As brilliant as he was, his heart was still slightly enshrouded by the dark childhood indoctrinations of the Orthodoxy of the RC church which was the culture he was raised in.

This otherwise talented genius (of many academic fields , health and music) never mentioned Yogananda’s name to me until 30 years later, but he did have a copy of the energization exercises (Yogoda) that he had typed out and presented to me in 1953.

Being impressed with my progress in the health and fitness area, he asked me to stop the weights and try this isometric (EE) Yogoda program for a while.
“Try this for a while and let me know what the results are !” said Paul.

Master is always working in the background of our lives!
As I found out several years later, even before you open a new door in life most entertaining adventure, your next step to learn and grow is already awaiting your curious and open mind!
I ceased the weight lifting program and started the EE’s (Yogoda) program every day….From then until now, still doing them every day!
They are truly youth sustaining and meditation enhancing!

Well, after a few months of the enjoying the “Yogoda exercise system”,
I sold my weights and gym equipment to a family friend, as I was getting similar results without using any equipment! This same friend used to tease me about how my body was changing! Now, he wanted the results he saw happening before his eyes..

The logic was obvious to me. Eventually, I also learned Hatha Yoga postures. Becoming a yoga instructor years later as well. Did you know that even the original martial arts schools from millennia ago (before the arts moved Eastward) are still functioning in south India!

After several years of intensive study of World religions with some yoga and meditations, I took a much needed rest from academia (I was home schooling myself in Comp religions).

Less than two weeks later a collogue showed me an ad with the cover of “Autobiography of a Yogi”. I was impressed but not looking for a teacher at that time.

However about 10 months later my wife found a book about Master that someone had left on a table a the local library in Niagara Falls. [the Sayings of Yogananda.]

After a much needed rest from my academic adventures I immediately felt Yogananda’s overwhelming presence upon touching that book, and the fact that it was He that was orchestrating/guiding my life and all its directions and insights in those previous years became absolutely, overwhelmingly clear to me.
Actually – this was the third time that He attempted to introduce Himself to me.
Taking the odd short rest will at times produce the results you really need!
It takes you past the clouds of interfering desires.

Within days, I sent for the “Self-Realization fellowship ” Lessons course, and soon after read the world’s great book, “Autobiography of a Yogi.” Through following years I have seen Yogananda in visions as well. This initially happened 6 years after his passing!
He Lives and works for all of us still – just as He clearly promised long ago.
About 1975 I stopped teaching hatha yoga as it was time to concentrate more fully on my hearts true Sadhana with SRF/YSS meditation and Yogoda workouts.

//////////////////////////////////////////////////////////

Kriya Yoga is the greatest!

Also met SRF monastics at MC Who are so inspiring and dedicated.

After establishing my routine with the Energization exercises, this same mentor encouraged me to study the new testament and other works. It was a study I found to be both enlightening and fascinating. As wonderful as I found these biblical writings, I felt no personal connection with Jesus as a Guru figure or personal teacher. Being my own teacher in those early years on this adventure of amazing discoveries, had not imagined there were still such great ones wandering the planet.
This led to and expanded study of comparative religion following my introduction to the Holy Bhagavad Gita. Then the sacred scriptures of other various religions for a few more years. It was clear to me early on that my heart was always with the Sanatana Dharma, [Hinduism and Yoga]
I was deeply impressed with the correlation between the Bhagavad Gita of Krishna and New Testament concepts.
Whatever the Gospels were brief about, Lord Krishna explained in precise scientific detail, when Jesus explained other matters in detail, Lord Krishna [circa 5500 BC] was very brief about those same matters. Yet it was all at the same level of teaching.

It took the Hebrew tribes another six thousand years to be ready for that same lofty mystical teaching of the science of Yoga and universal unconditional divine love….And even in this age of science and electronics the science of Kriya Yoga, the East [India] is still millennia ahead of Western social, psychological, and spiritual awareness!

When I found the Holy Bhagavad Gita and it supported the unorthodox interpretations that I had been making from the Gospels, I soon left the family church and went on from there to research more of the worlds faiths.
It is a sad thing that so many seekers I met who have read the Gita, failed to continue searching out its great spiritual treasures. This takes a dedication and persistence that few persons are willing to invest in. So many are in the habit of “just show me another book to entertain me!”

This amazing correlation between these two scriptures is especially unique when we discover that the dispensations of these two avatars delivered their teachings six thousand years apart. After 3k years from Abrahams time the Hebrews were finally ready to know the wisdom of the Sanatana Dharma.
Lord Bhagavan Krishna’s date is accurately recorded as 6,550 BC. [there are other estimates not far off that date]
This brings into question that meme that these Avatars arrive with Progressive Revelations for the whole world.
Progressive for who exactly? It has been mainly for specific cultures till the 20th Century, that might be different now with this planet being so integrated socially and technologically.

.
Until recent decades most cultures were progressing at their own disparaging pace! In 3,000 BC the Hebrews were quite primitive. When Jesus came much later they should have been ready for a serious upgrade, but for their heavy concerns about becoming free of Roman occupation was their major preoccupation.
Their main problems were the rigid power structure they created and the intense preoccupation with overturning the Roman colonization after a long period of time!
Many centuries later, Mahatma Ghandi (a devotee of Paramahansa Yogananda), did not make the same mistakes when He successfully lead his country out of British occupation. More on this later!/////////////////////////////////////// It was all about the timing!

The Gita of Santana Dharma is amazing, unique, and undogmatic and contains the whole science (in brief), of the amazing Kriya Yoga methodology.
Everything that JC mentions briefly, Lord Krishna explains in detail,
including comments on the science of Kriya Yoga.
It was and still is one of my favorite spiritual guidebooks to live by.

It is praised by great souls around the world. It is “the word of God”.
It is the foundation of a true Religion of Peace! As well as India’s most beloved scripture available in most of the worlds languages. The Jewel of the Sanatana Dharma of Hindus. It is an encapsulation of all Indian sacred writ. A masterwork on Reincarnation and the science of Yoga Meditation.
(As the New testament is to the Christian Bible – so the Bhagavad Gita is to the Vedas.)
Hindu history bears this out very clearly, as the Sanatana Dharma [Hinduism] is the democracy of all religious thought, and in spite of millenniums of the misguided work of so many fanatical missionaries from the West, India [the holy land] is still 80% Hindu]. and there are now well over a billion followers world wide of the sacred ancient Sanatana Dharma!
This “democracy of world religions “, this is was most well informed citizens of the world are turning towards!
This advanced culture is being adopted by true seekers of all lands!
You don’t think so?

This year attendees of India’s colossal “Maha Kumbh Mela “is estimated to attract 700,000,000 serious and curious devotees of Self -realization. It is happening now over 46 astronomically significant days…..with persons of every spiritual attitude showing up.

It was not until 6 yrs later of deep study of world religions that our own sacred Avatar (Paramahansa Yogananda) posthumously introduced himself to me [for the 3rd time,] that I finally got the whole picture right as in that moment I felt His overwhelming presence!
I knew then that is was He, the worlds most recent major Avatar -Paramahansa Yogananda – had been teaching me and guiding me for more than one lifetime. I knew it was He, who is always with me.
I never previously had any clear awareness of this amazing process of the immortal Guru-Disciple process. But from the moment someone dear to me placed his book (“the sayings of Yogananda”) into my hands, the strangely orchestrated happenings of all the previous years became absolutely clear to me!
Each life does have a great progressive plan and purpose.
The Guru-Disciple relationship is the Way the truth and the life!
I now know this as I am living that life!

The Autobiography of a Yogi and the SRF Lessons elevated me to a whole new dimension of learning, Consciousness, and transformative awareness.

Since that momentous day in 1958, I have been intimately and gratefully aware that I am a personal and direct disciple of one of the 20th centuries greatest teachers/saviors.
Jai to the Gurus and saintly leaders of Yogoda Sat Sangha/Self-Realization Fellowship, and all those who serve this Dharmic way.

I knew I was finally Home. When the pupil is ready the master appears!
This is the beginning of true freedom and real spiritual progress.
Obedience to a true Guru is the beginning of the souls ascent to psychological and spiritual enlightenment.
This obedience results in an accelerated expanding freedom of thought and awareness, literally dissolving ones previous indoctrinations and false belief’s. Opening the doors of heaven, creativity, and a joyful peace.

Many years later I was visiting this same mentor (PD Frank) in Red Deer Alberta, Canada.

Our ensuing conversations over a 3 day visit caused him to finally mention that he had read Yogananda’s “Autobiography of a Yogi ” shortly before meeting me at Niagara those many years ago….and he wished to read it again!

Finally I knew where those amazing EE Yogoda exercises came from years earlier, but my mentor never once mentioned Guruji’s name till about those 35 years later. Someone gave me his number and we were able to meet again after those many years, resulting in a completion of our understanding of how Master was working in our lives.
He soon read the Autobiography of a Yogi again just before he passed on in 2021.

I find it so interesting that he would ask me for a copy of the worlds most sacred book “Autobiography of a Yogi “, after so many years of not mentioning the Paramahansaji’s name. And just before His beautiful life came to a close as PDF.
He read it again and passed on a few years later, another angelic friend from our divine Mother! I have had the blessing of introducing Master to several persons just before the great demise. Persons who became very serious devotees!
Apparently near the end of his life he had overcome the dark indoctrinations of churchianity and was ready to move into the higher teaching of the science of Yoga. Although he did mention various things about Yogis many years previous, he was not yet ready to pursue that science.
Master sent me to him as a youth to accelerate my search[a great blessing].
Master later sent me back to help him when we were older, returning the service!
He was then able to appreciate the true value of Autobiography of a Yogi after seeing what it did for my life over many years. As an older an wiser seeker he could deeply appreciate the wisdom and divine presence of Paramahansa Yogananda. He passed on several years later.

In recent years I am still meeting so many sincere souls that are hungry for a true revelations found in Paramahansa Yogananda’s presence and teachings.


Yogananda’s YOGODA EXERCISES ////////// Finally …..

As it now turns out, over the years , a number of research programs have proven Yogananda’s isometric [Yogoda] system to be one of the worlds superior exercise regimens in many ways. If you want to know my sources —–Look it up yourself !

These exercises can be done anywhere sans equipment or expense!
Working so directly with this pranic system, one gains the benefits of self-healing, phycological letting go, with the attunement of the consciousness within this life force, and many other benefits as described below.

The EEs (the Yogoda System) were created by Yoganandaji for His new school in India before coming to America (circa 1917).
These are tension, relaxing, resistance movements.
They work on every joint, muscle, nerve and sinew. It is rare that a uniquely different fitness system comes into the world. Even more rare than new religions!

Everything He brought us was effectively unique and life enhancing!
Mostly based upon divinely scientific Yoga principles!
Paramahansa Yogananda is this worlds most recent major living Savior / Avatar.
It is such a blessing to be personally taught by one of the worlds greatest educators!

1. “Yogoda system” exercises muscle groups and is based upon Yoga principles.
It is a form of Pranayam [energy control]. Working with the life force and gives you control over it.
One does become more and more attuned to the cellular intelligence and prana.
Knowing more and more how to be aware of and then heal your own body.

2. It gives greater normalization of blood pressure than any other system.
Dr Mercola notes; “Exercise regularly — Exercise is well-known for its ability to normalize blood pressure, but all forms of exercise are not the same in this regard. A recent investigation revealed that isometric exercise[EE], where your muscles are in static contraction, is the most effective for lowering blood pressure, while aerobic exercise is next to last in terms of effectiveness.“

3. The EE [ Yogoda] not only tones the Muscles but results in nerve toning as well.
Thus saving one in later life from the dangers of neuropathic diseases and early aging.

4. The EE is also a form of pranayama and effectively prepares the devotee for Yoga meditation by giving him/her greater conscious control of every body cell/muscle/nerve and the very energy [prana] that sustains them.

5. These Yogoda exercises act as an ideal pump for the lymphatic system, accelerating the cleansing of waste materials from tour system by circulating waste to the organs that purify the blood and lymph.
Read about the dangers of Lymphoma pathologies and cancer;

Keeping the fluids in the body tissues clean and refreshed while assisting the functions of other organs.

6. The very nature of Yogoda exercises with the repetitive actions of “letting go” and the very simple discipline of regular exercise regimen forms a very rewarding disciplinary lifestyle practice. The mind begins to copy these patterns/skills of letting go of the unreal world.

The power of “letting go” is a most valuable skill in staying free of stress and mastering techniques of meditation! So much stress is the result of not being able to “let go” of things and situations in the mind and heart!

7.The concentration on recharging body areas and your aura gives increasing inner and outer spacial awareness to ones consciousness, great meditation prepping!

8. These resistance exercises no doubt will recharge the telomeres of every bodily cell, sustaining lasting youthfulness by refreshing the DNA memory of that cell and its functions.
Parts of our DNA structures are always experience various wear, tear and rebuilding processes. That’s why Master Paramahansa Yogananda for a time referred to these EE’s as “Tissue memory rebuilding.”


Healing in all manner of ways untold persons of mental in harmony, Physical diseases and Spiritual Ignorance, with untold witnesses and records left behind.
I have Personally interviewed or heard from some of these reliable witnesses first hand of the many miraculous incidents that transformed and enhanced their lives and fortunes.

I hereby add testimony to millions of other devotees of a truly great Soul in our modern era, whose history is sound and unexaggerated or misrepresented by the shifting sands of time and memory.
He still is a true “Living Master” working through His sincere devotees who are attuned to Him.

Yogananda Himself did these Yogoda exercises every day till He left the body in March 7,1952. Does this seem like a short life for one who has mastered time and space and all human morals and the human consciousness? Not really! You have to see the whole picture and what He genetically started off with. Some of His ancestors suffered generations of near starvation and poverty as a result of bandits and colonizers and other invaders. Know your history!

Paramahansa Yogananda’s life achievements by any measure was extraordinary and beyond genius. The life of this Avatar is an impeccable example of the divine plan in living form. Most significantly it is all recorded in recent time and the worlds most popular language. If you will ever take the trouble to fully study this amazing life in our modern times you will find out That;

Never before in Human recorded History on this amazing planet has a prophet, savior, Son of God of this stature ever left the world such a complete, verifiable, life enhancing, and spiritually transforming corpus of “The word of God” for our future burgeoning and rapidly expanding global civilizations.

This is a fully Self-Realized yogi saint out India’s Sanatana Dharmic wisdom who, less than 100 years ago was walking and talking on the streets of America [and other parts of the modern world].
He was/is a walking, talking, living example of the ideal life for the third millennium.
Just like the life of Jesus that we read about in the Gospels. This time we now have the recent, advanced and most verifiable narrative.

After the publication of Paramahansa Yogananda’s acclaimed commentary on the Holy Bhagavad Gita “God Talks With Arjuna,” the renowned Indologist and Sanskrit scholar Dr. David Frawley commented as follows:
“The book is a veritable encyclopedia of the spiritual life, Yogananda is best known for His known for His “Autobiography of a Yogi,” but his Gita work is of equal stature and importance. What the autobiography achieves in the realm of human experience, “God talks with Arjuna” achieves as a complete teaching for the spiritual life..” Yogananda appears as a sage of the highest order and a spiritual scientist, and Avatar of Yoga for the coming world civilization. The mark of His work will no doubt endure through the ages.”

Let it also be noted that Dr. David Frawley and co writer Dr. Sabbash Kuk, were the first of many Scholars and yogis to fully debunk the “Aryan Invasion Theory”.
This theory was the misguided and misinformed effort by many Westerners to degrade the significance and truths of Indian wisdom and science, to serve the purposes of European colonization and theft of others. We now know that much of the worlds civilized and scientific knowledge emigrated from East to the West!

This is my personal declaration!…….Fp
