Awakening intuition is greatly effected by Kriya yoga Meditation techniques, this process is the key to going beyond academia when opening the true meanings of scriptural wisdom. Will power and discipline were also a great asset in this process! The greatest mental conflict (cognitive dissonance) to understanding what you are reading will fall away most quickly by cleansing the consciousness of old entrenched concepts of your earlier indoctrination. You must really be seeking those truths that defy the comfortable route of mutual agreement that supports your limiting social preferences.
Now you will be able to make the great decision! Do you wish to be “one of the many?” or do you wish to become “one of the Few? “ To understand what this is all about, read the Bhagavad Gita translation by Paramahansa Yogananda entitled “The Yoga of the Bhagavad Gita”. or the “Yoga of Jesus”, by the same renowned author. Specifically where the gospel of Matthew speaks of a “way of the many” in Matthew 7:13-14, where he describes the wide gate and broad road that leads to destruction and that “many” enter through it. This contrasts with the narrow gate and narrow way that leads to life, which “few” find. Stop fooling your ego! this does not refer to the size of your denomination of specific church! It refers to where you stand in that specific church, temple, or belief system.
Otherwise, anyone can start a new cult of 100 gullible followers and say to the world. “now we are ones of the few, so we are the greater church – better to put your head back in the sand! If you are still one of the many, you may be very comfortable in the back row with your “blind leading the blind ” friends, but you are clearly one of the “Many”!
On average, it seems that if there are about 100 worshippers in that congregation, you are lucky if 5 of them rank as the few! Now you can finally reread that saying of Jesus again without fooling yourself while pleasing your ego. We are usually indoctrinated into a system that got caught up in “gaining the world while losing the soul of your congregation ! You are most likely not one of the few!
One of the few is a lonely position to hold while truly changing yourself to the true wisdom of what is really required to change yourself while loving the Reality……Brahman ! /////////////////////////////////////////////////// more to come///////////fp
Step # 1 –LEARNING TO READ, ABSORB AND LISTEN !
To begin with, make a serious decision based on this [or any ] scripture. “wide is the gate and wide is the way that leads to destruction, and most persons and paths will take that way! Narrow is the gate and narrow is the way that leads to life, [Salvation/ Self-Realization etc] that leads to life, and the few [very few] will find it.” KJV ,verses ///////////////////////////////////
A simple accurate interpretation ; Wherever you go, your own or any other temple. mosque, church. about 90% of the attendees there will follow blindly the way of the “many.” the way that is popular, fearful, and blind led by the blind, the way of the many is usually comfortable for sheep!
Most persons are lazy and go the popular, easier way. Just so everyone will accept them! This way is the excitement of changing everyone else to all that which you don’t yet understand. The way of the few is usually the way of changing yourself, the way of effort in the here and now, which most members fear , yet is leads to salvation and self-realization. Every person, believer or atheist must make this clear and simple life challenging decision about all things. Which path do you wish to take, do you have the courage to take the higher path?
Do you want to be one of the “few “, or one or the “Many”? It is the choice in most things we do in life, the common way of the many is usually low quality and greatly flawed, or even harmful. Only after much rewarding and revealing effort and honest searching will you find the better ways in most things in this life! If your church, your culture or your friends tell you that you have the worlds only true way – they will soon discover there is little accuracy or truth in that way. Popular food , music , medicine etc is mostly low quality! Or even harmful. designed to please your senses and indoctrinated ego rather than to heal and grow your awareness!
This is an established principle of life in this world! Do you want noise or peace? do you want flavors or health? do you want truth or convenience? Do you want company or self-realization? etc etc.. this particular scripture is a major decision point of all devotees, are you striving to become one of the MaNY? or are you striving to become one of the FEW – the way that the master says leads to LIFE? It is a very learn 180 degree choice , with this courageous choice you will end up with more joy, success, light, and life, or you will go to your own destruction seeking to please the many -lifetime after lifetime !
There are certain revelations, such as recent newer historical facts and fresh approaches into heretofore unfamiliar tracts that alone can give you the full picture to awaken your outdated restricted ideas. I still find it sad by amusing when is see writers and film makers touting their “all encompassing ” documentaries and research about the world when they have no knowledge of what was and is going on in 75% of world cultures.
It is the unfortunate process of being educated by those who did not fully understand what they were teaching. only rarely does great truth come from Academia. Universities are corporations that will teach in ways that brings in the most profit! So unless you do a lot of personal inner meditation and searching, on your graduation day you may not be fully prepared for life in this world! Paramahansa Yogananda is one of the greatest educators for this 3rd millennium. It was he who quietly encouraged me to leave the education system half way through grade 12 and educate myself, a long and miraculous story, as I happened to be a top student!
Worse yet, for political, profitability, and other expediencies they were afraid to teach us the worlds best known truths. Beware of the agendas of the Many! Even the most professional of teachers can get so comfortable that maintaining a profitable and secure position in society becomes a trap to which many well intended souls get caught!
Many professors in seminaries are under oath to teach only to teach the well established ancient doctrines/dogmas of their institutions instead of what they presently know to be the “truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth”. I learned this at an early age in my searching while interviewing several seminary professors.
They admitted that they were under oath to teach only the established doctrines of their church, and could not share a higher wisdom they acquired since they graduated from earlier years.
This became one of my eye opening revelations from seminary priest-professors during my earlier search. Alas, no harm was done as I had already decided to leave Churchianity and the education system, and opted for home schooling at all education academic levels at an earlier date. Years later I had the great and good fortune of being personally tutored by one of the 20th centuries greatest teachers. I followed my heart and everything worked out the best possible way!
Paramahansa Yogananda introduced Himself to me in a most powerful way, 6 years after his demise [the great Mahasamadhi of March 7, 1952.] He has been teaching me ever since 1958, Not by any psychic illusions, but personally via His everliving presence.
Once we know our destined Guru, and become properly attuned to His omnipresence, success in all avenues of life become more and more manifested. This and many other essay on this site are being updated, so please reread them from time to time. Then you may get to really see how the master is working in my life, as meditation burns my Karma away with the grace of a true Guru.
All under copywrite by Federico Parente of London , ontario , Canada. Facilitator of one or Yogananda’s many world wide independent Meditation groups, not under the auspices of SRF centers dept./ revised March 22/2026
The following, copied from Yogananda’s “The Yoga of the Bhagavad Gita” from Self-Realization Fellowship publishers preface; Frawley states the following-“
David Frawley & Subbash Kuk had successfully debunked the AIT circa 1970.[Aryan Invasion theory] Dr David Frawley says of Yogananda’s World mission that, “Yogananda is best known for His Autobiography of a Yogi, but his “Gita translation and commentary is a work of equal stature. “What the Autobiography of a Yogi achieves in the realm of human experience, “God Talks with Arjuna” achieves as a complete teaching of the spiritual life. “
“In His Gita, Yogananda appears as a spiritual scientist, an Avatar of Yoga for the coming world civilization. The mark of His work will no doubt endure through the ages.”
An Essay by Federico Parente, to whom Yoganandaji introduced Himself in 1958. Although the great Master left his body on March 7, 1952, as a true living Guru, He continues to work with and through many serious devotees around the world, as many are reporting in their genuine and unique personal experiences.
Paramahansa Yogananda and some devotees and early students ……..
Never before has the world witnessed such a complete and verified record of an Avatar of this stature. He walked among us for many years and the technology that existed along with the the great souls who worked with Him made the record of His life and works an incomparable message and inspiration. This may be the most outstanding and moving of the many films of the life and podcasts about Yogananda that are now available.
The most reliable and accurate records of Yogananda’s life and teachings will be found in the teachings and publications of His Self-Realization Fellowship/Yogoda Sat Sangha society. Find the true lessons of Kriya Yoga by going to yogananda.org for detailed instructions and personal guidance on all of the Master’s teachings and wisdom….. there are also many talks on the net.
The Miracle on Sunset Blvd La, USA 2025 Fire storm and the survival of SRF Lake Shrine in early January…2025..
A number of years ago, someone had the foresight to keep a service barge on the Santa-Ynez Lake at the SRF Lake shrine. With the lake as safe water supply, and a gas driven pump with fire hoses, a family of devotees was able to extinguish most of the flying embers that landed on the Lake Shrine property. Keeping the damage to LS at a minimum. Saving wild life and plants, the famous horticultural gardens, and many sacred/historical artifacts from the devastating firestorm of 2025. Blessings and congratulations to all those who took part in this great and courageous effort at the world renowned Self-Realization Fellowship Lake Shrine located in the Pacific Palisades area of Orange county, SoCal, USA. This is one of Masters’ most sacred sites in America. For those who are not aware. This Spiritual and horticultural 13 acre jewel was intuitively visualized by Paramahansa Yogananda since His early years. Through a number of divinely arranged situations was purchased by the great Guru in 1949 for just a few dollars.
The tireless Avatar-Yogi and many monastics over the Years were able to bring it to its’ present status as a well know place of spiritual pilgrimage, continually visited by thousands persons far and near each year. It also serves as a local park in Pacific Palisades area. Members and persons of all [or no] religion are welcome to come to this unique gardens around the Lake for peace, healing and deep Yoga Meditation. There is free parking available at the site. One can find many documentaries and data about the amazing history of SRF Lake Shrine on various places on the net. I was blessed with several inspiring visits to the LS in recent years! Every visit was life enhancing and memorable over the years…Fp
Starting your day with Energization EE, Meditation, and devotional readings from the Masters Sacred works of Autobiography of a Yogi and Whispers From Eternity, etc.
A devotee relates his experiences with Yoganandaji’s sacred scriptures, and how this book is changing the world. Autobiography of a Yogi is just the beginning of this advanced Revelation for the third millennium. Yogananda called this holy book His “ambassador.” Now available in over 50 languages and updated to where the master requested it to be. The SRF editions are the most accurate, complete, and up to date editions of the Masters’ works! You won’t find this anywhere else!
This inspiring corpus of Paramahansa Yogananda’s Revelatory dispensations are revolutionizing the worlds understanding of religion, spirituality, and consciousness over the last century.
Adding to this Avatars latest Divine Revelation [The Life and Legacy of Paramahansa Yogananda], the world is also gaining so many further clarifications via discoveries and research that are now resulting in the verification of the wisdom of the Sanatana Dharma and other previous revelations!
Because we now know more truth about the worlds spirituality/religions? Regarding Origins, Avatars, history, linguistic corrections for translating, etc. The divine plan is showing us all the differences between blind belief and the intuitive mystical wisdom of India’s timeless Kriya Yoga. This Yoga of all Yogas, is an integral part of those Dharmic faith systems which represent and were born out of the Holy Sanatana Dharma.[tr. “the Eternal Religion”] These ancient wisdom traditions represent the “democracy” of Spirituality for humanity in the modern ages, and are producing and endless succession of “Sons of God;” as it says in the Rev of John.////////////////////////////// Great and dedicated Yogi/Yoginis are those who have found that Kingdom of Heaven is within. The Various other systems of unscientific blind belief are more tyrannical and fixed in nature, and represent more primitive power structures of politicized religion. Many of which have been the main causes of global bloody conflicts [mostly regional] in recent times and long ago. The creator of conflicts against most other non-believers! There are none so confused and insecure who promote a faith system whose very foundation rests only on blind consensus! Those who emphasize terror and death unless others agree with or join them are not messengers of peace and love!
Simply put, as long as anyone/any group believes their way is the only valid way, that is not spiritual. It is clearly a set of politicized beliefs masquerading as religious concepts.
Such rigid, dogmatic, systems eventually create massive, inflexible, limited blinding power structures that are self-defeating and popular, comfortable, and misdirected. Leaving a trail of endless misdirection and blindness that ties our consciousness to this world of illusion. That is why so many leaders of the religious organizations which have been created by unrealized persons hate transparency, fain humility, confuse fables with facts, and eventually lose morality altogether while covering up their multiple errors. Power structures are built on the unstable sands of primitive, immoral mayic worshipping ideals. Like all empires, over time, they eventually crumble in their own cruel feebleness. This is the story of “the blind leading the blind”.///////////////////
The main difference in todays techno world is that these politized power structures are now mainly engaged in pouring billions of US dollars into the attempted conversion of millions of new victims of their darker understandings of their own teachings and history.
Both Paramahansa Yogananda, Jeshua, Govinda [lord Krishna] all give dire warnings about the dangers and harms of missionary work performed by those who have yet to understand the lofty principles they espouse. Many true prophets all give the same wisdom advice to “change yourself first.” //////////////////////////////////////////// This is of course the quick and easy way to capture the youthful, desperate, and poorly informed populations of isolated or third world nations and areas even today that are still falling prey to those who preach that everyone else must change. As they have no true foundation or full knowledge how get beyond the illusion of the mayic world. For starters, watch and study some of the many videos of or about Yogananda. The fortunate citizens of America were able to observe and interact with a modern living Christ [Avatar] in real time within the last hundred years or so. “His truth is marching on!” See the following video on utube about a recent publication on “The Life of Yogananda.” https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6lzilw96ysc
Or, also see the full length documentary feature film “Awake, The Life of Yogananda” on line, or on DVD available through Self-Realization Fellowship, there is also an online trailer for free viewing. This beautiful award winning film was released in 2014 and ran for several weeks where I live.
The following wisdom gems are now becoming clearly established with serious seekers of truth in this radiant light glowing 21st century! Watch light of Kriya Yoga closely as the tenacious stubborn darkness of previous generations slowly fades away with great resistance! Even if all that you read in your sacred books is true or accurate, the greater problem for you [the believer] is the inability to break through your indoctrinated egotism and fear to a place where you correctly decipher the true meanings of those sacred texts. This is just the first step! When I said that Jesus and Krishna taught the same wisdom 6K years apart, this clarity is what Yogananda also brought to America in the last century. For Kriya Yoga and its refreshing wisdom from the Sanatana Dharma can only be seen clearly if you go beyond shallow popularity teachings of Churchianity [ PY’s term]. Are you ready and/or willing to be different, since most human progress in any field of endeavor has rarely been the result of “consensus.” The Master said seclusion (individuality) is the price of greatness.”
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6lzilw96ysc go to the start of this podcast ////// It has usually the light from true barrier breakers, and creative, disciplined souls, both in spirituality, religion, and the scientific community that create real wisdom of Kriya Yoga and other reliable Technology! This winding road though many lifetimes can be long and lonely -as the song says.
Alas, so many of the dangers are removed if you can be guided by a true enlightened teacher known as the Guru. Although the true Guru serves many purposes, teaching is only one of His gifts to the loyal dedicated devotee. For such a one does not die in the common way, such a Great One leave the body for the final exit as a pure omnipresent unlimited Consciousness. And has mastered the enigmas of this illusionary world. Nothing in time space and duality seems flawless, but working with a true Master, may appear the closest to it in this world. Self-Realization (Salvation) takes place mostly before death, and even that is not the end? Every moment of your beautiful or challenging life is so precious, when Mother brings wisdom or opportunities into your life, don’t get lost in the jungles of theology and academia. JUST DO IT ! Every wisdom nugget life drops in your lap, absorb it, work with it, cherish it! Don’t get lost in the maddening crowds that are slipping into the hopeless Abyss of sheepish oblivion! By following the wisdom, truth modern living examples of the Great Ones you can overcome every challenge in your life, and reach your fullest potential.
Chew on these ideas for a while and reread the history of your own path: and may come to understand that; As a rule, the worlds Avatars [saviors] never return for second public debuts, why not? the main reasons that come to my attention are first, because it would contradict the purpose of their original Revelations and legacy. and even create in the minds of many follower confusion of spiritual understandings about the direction and purpose of His long awaited originally ordained and prophesied mission and purpose. To think clearly about this matter, one must have some understanding what that mission is. The second problem is the fact that all those who attempted to predict or calculate such a “second public return” are always totally contradicted by a clear picture of history! The next problem is the face of history we now have regarding the many Sons of God [These perfected spiritual masters] in the stunning fact that they [not one] has ever returned for a second public debut. To gel all the above situations there is the most embarrassing fact that when they speak of returning – they make it ever so clear that that “returning “will take place for only those devotees who understand the truth of their work and presence eventually becoming one with them and the Father. In English the word father simply means “originator”! And by the way this is all explained in the gospel of John ch 14.
However, if you reread the holy Bhagavad Gita and St. Johns chapter 14 for a few more years, You might understand that Jesus tells us His true second coming will definitely happen to those devotees who truly love Him and reach the consciousness of the true unity of being. Omnipresence! Lord Krishna also says that same thing in His Bhagavad Gita The details of the scientific formulae of the science of Kriya Yoga are all shown in the Holy Gita. They are mostly missing from the Gospels as Jeshua clearly ordered his devotees “not to throw your pearls of wisdom to the swines, or they will tear you apart.
Why do so many churches persist in the hopeless hope that Messiah needs to make a second public debut to finish His great work? He already tells you that “Heaven and earth may pass away, but his words will not!” The fact is that this concept is a false hope-hook, and many pseudo religious entrepreneurs’ have exposed themselves as false prophets pretending they had the power to tell you the future. Such as, follow our way, and when He comes the world will see that only our understanding of these teachings was the correct one! Those years have gone by and over and over again with those who have embarrassed themselves, and these pretenses of false claims are well recorded in history. No, Avatars do not simply return to the Masses for second public debuts. It would serve little purpose to expose oneself to those narrow minded masses who prefer comfort over truth!
Now that we clearly know what to do – JUST DO IT ! Finally, it was Yogananda, the great avatar from India, who showed us the true meaning of that “second coming” promise and many other truths! How did the leaders and even His own apostles get so many things wrong? Whatever He told them, they were teaching to all that His second coming would take place within their own lifetimes – eg by the year 90CE. This was only one of several areas of His teaching they failed to grasp. They were indoctrinated into a primitive tradition that had some limiting concepts about humanity, salvation, meditation, culture and the mystical path to true salvation. Just imagine, even after three and a half years of a lot of personal time in His presence, being taught many advanced mystical Yoga skills. Along with this higher concept of Dharmic advanced religion, they were still only baptizing persons in His name if they were born as Hebrews (Jews). Peter experienced a Second Coming for further Instruction. Read your gospels, connect the dots, and meditate on these things. Just remember, when He returned to Judea after 18yrs [much of it spent near the Temple of Jagannath on India’s SE Coast, what did He tell that Samaritan woman? I came to save the lost sheep of Israel ! He did not stay in India to save the Hindus, He did not return to save the Greeks. Romans, Egyptians or Pagans or the Heathens, or the Romans. He emphasized that the Jews [his own people] needed saving -Why? Have you been asking this serious question, all you who think and follow the old testament more than the New Testament? He is also speaking to you who today falsely promote the Easter bunny lie to keep you in their controlled grip. Don’t you see the pattern, one dark concept they had in those times in Judea was that the were waiting for some messianic Warrior to save them from the occupation of Rome. And the dead will be raise with new bodies etc. When He was teaching misinformation such as love those who offend you and quietly give to Caesar that which is his [Taxes], and to God that which is His [your love]. They wanted him out of the way! which they finally did. They above all wanted to get rid of their “Great Embarrassment.”
Another item was:
Their primitive idea that there was only one lifetime and the a judgement, followed by new bodies being resurrected for everyone[who stays in line]. This is what the Rabbis promised if you paid your dues, etc, etc. They believed they had a good racket going -“just don’t ask me to change myself!” “It is so much more exciting and egocentric to change others.” So, they found it very different to adapt to a new teaching that did not keep them at the top of all races as the favored ones. When the Romans came along, down went 3000 years of the great myth. Those who maintain the special power and status amongst the less educated and privileged of society just can’t stand it when their lies find them out in the presence of a great soul! The only thing on their mind was, “How do we get rid of the Romans so we can look honest and proud again ?” So in those days only maintaining the “great Lie” important to those leaders, not “how can we change ourselves to become honest leaders.? This would require changing themselves first, not very easy or very exciting, you see, its always more exciting and pompous to be changing others. That way you never need to admit you were wrong, lazy, greedy, and dishonest. Why do so many persons [the sheeple] trust leaders would kill and abuse their own so easily. It’s about fear insecurity and being poorly informed,///////////////////This essay is being revised and updated………………….authors notes 9/2024

“There never was only one way to discover ones own divinity” ”There never was only one living savior for all mankind.” ” There never was only one final sacred work for all seekers.” There never was “ONLY ONE LIFETIME FOR EVERY LIVING SOUL” “Reincarnation and Karma and Yoga are the true paths to salvation.” This is what a great soul does for his students, Chelas and devotees ! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UmcdnCeA980
Who and what was Paramahansa Yogananda ? use above link.
How could modern and ancient leaders of the Abrahamic traditions make so many errors when interpreting their own scripture? The Master did clearly state “the majority would seek the way of destruction, and the Few would find the narrow gate and narrow way that leads to life. “pp This is the whole story of much of human history, consensus worships power and hides the truth, it’s more profitable and pompous that way for the ego!

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”, master had not yet introduced Himself to me! 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 colleague showed me an ad with the cover of “Autobiography of a Yogi”. I was impressed but not looking for a teacher at that time. My great need at that moment was to have a rest.
However, about 10 months later in 1958, 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.] Upon arriving home from work she dropped it in my lap. A few minutes later His unmistakable presence swept over my consciousness and I became aware that He was ever guiding my life!
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. It was Sept 1958. 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.
NOTE : i AM EDITING AND SLOWLY REDOING MANY ESSAYS ON THIS SITE SO THINGS WILL BE OCCAISIONALLY CHANGING ON A REGULAR BASIS.
Kriya Yoga is the greatest!
Also met SRF monastics at MC Who are so inspiring and dedicated. (many years ago)
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. Eventually is became clear to me that it was the Sanatana Dharma the Jesus brought back after all those years, and for which He was murdered. 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. They were facing “the great embarrassment.” Not only were they a conquered colony of the Romans for over 100 years, they had been telling the world that they were the greatest in every way and favored by some god!
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 Sanatana Dharma of the Bhagavad Gita [Lord Krishna’s gospel] is amazing, unique, and undogmatic. It’s 700 verses contains the whole science (in brief), of the amazing Kriya Yoga methodology, and all the mystical wisdom that was left out of the NT Gospels of Jesus. 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, as acclaimed by many of the worlds great saints and philosophers.
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? Try educating yourself at a deeper level!
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 reread 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. Sadly, so many persons find it impossible to get past the SCS. the Santa Claus Syndrome(fp). indoctrination is part of our ego and does not die easily, only through time and meditation does in fade!
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.
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!
How amazing is the Sanskriti and its endless wisdom of the Sanatana Dharma, which has preserved Kriya Yoga for all humanity through so many thousands upon thousands of eons.
In the Christian tradition and scriptures the Holy AUM [Ommm] vibration is called “the holy spirit” and “the holy Ghost“. Whom we really know as “the Divine Mother in almost every culture of the world. Why did some primitive cultures have so much difficulty in openly recognizing the divine feminine?
Two great Sons of God [Jeshua and Bhagavan Krishna] both tell us that the holy spirit will lead us to all truth! She really comes to life in Yogananda’s memoirs in a way rarely related in this world. This may only happen when you have risen beyond the darkness of your ego and your earlier indoctrinations. “The Kingdom of God is within you.” ……”Change yourself!”
Just listening to this eternal omnipresent vibration throughout and beyond all Creation will enhance one’s sadhana. [spiritual path] With every breath and heartbeat, with every loving expression of gratitude and devotion, you too can live each moment of your day in the living presence of the Divine Mother…That same Mother that is recognized by every culture in the world. The One who is the seeming “other”, the feminine partner of “Elohim” of the Jews.
It is a Sacred practice that will eventually result in your consciousness becoming totally aware that your whole Sadhana is guided by her love. Then you will hear this vibration in every sacred in your days and nights.
Most strongly heard in your quietest interiorized moments. Your hearts intuition Awakens with this love song! It is a most pleasing and soothing vibe that one never tires of! Think of it this way – speaking the holy word AUM, which begins as a deep vibration and ends in a very fine vibration from the chest to the lips before you express your conscious expressions into infinite space.
You are exercising your inner being from the course attachment from gross matter to the finer energies of light and consciousness, from matter to spirit, from dogmatic belief to free thinking of Yoga sciences, again – from crude to fine, darkness to light, from your egos point in space to infinity. From violence to peace, from suffering to joy! This is how Ommmmm (AUM) transforms our consciousness.
The repetition of this exercise will eventually change your whole being, and if you practice this verbally, feelingly, and then mentally according to the special instructions in SRF/YSS lessons course, She will guide every aspect of your life just as she did the great Yoganandaji. Of one thing you may be assured, when you hear this divine sound, you will know that it is not a “ringing in the ears,” or any form of Tinnitus. It is sweetly unique vibration from the core of your intuition! Your unruly mind is like a dog with fur full of ticks and knots [the trauma of Karma of past experiences]. Brush the dog of your mind with the brush of Oommmm and the peace of deep meditation and eventually everything in life will become smoother, refined, and full of light. There is more than one way to become aware of your connection with the living presence of the divine mother. And Yoganandaji also speaks of these. No doubt His boundless devotion and depth of concentration also a great effect on His deep guidance, protection and awareness of Her presence in his life and work. He is not an intermediary, He is the divine presence of union that you are seeking. There is no separation! There are many chapters in the “Autobiography of a Yogi” where we see her at work. This is one of the worlds most sacred scriptures, as pure as the master wanted it to be, in perfect English and His presence is in every word. The evidence of all those pages have many modern witnesses. Especially the amazing chapter 22, where Guruji was at the Dakshineswar temple and she appeared to Him to grant Him the prayer to help his sisters sad marriage. And this soon came to be so! This is how we know that a spiritual experience is not an hallucination, but soon manifests as a living genuine real experience in our relative world. Practice listening to this sacred vibration and become aware that your existence is the same everliving spiritual part of this divine ocean. “OM Guru, OM Guru, OM Guru “= He told us this is the most powerful mantra………….. When reading Yogananda’s works, you will gain more from a real book than you will reading from a screen!

More evidence on Vaxxene harms to our immune systems.
Cleveland Clinic confirms that covid jabs systematically DESTROY the immune system, jab after jab, year after year,
This article may contain statements that reflect the opinion of the author, Please note : As of may 2025, there is an official report on the internet from recent studies that: Covid 19 vaccinated persons have a 27 % higher death rate from all causes than the unvaccinated public, by allowing your natural immune system to fight that virus, it became stranger when dealing with a range of disease. This takes great insight and courage, but the rewards continue to be great every day. Just look what India’s state medical officer accomplished with Ivermectin and a few vitamins! A State of over 200,000,000 persons . God bless Dr …….Dubey….
Bypass censorship by sharing this link: This report originates from one o f Americas largest Health Maintenance corporations. The question arises , why the fear campaign and job losses and lockdowns? Why all the false and misdirected PCR tests? Was that vaccine ever needed? The result for Canada’s covid mandate was severe tyranny against all in the medical professions, as of may 2025, Canadas health system has not yet recovered. The true policy of our prime minister was “We follow the science, ” he failed to mention that they were really following the science of Tyranny and profiteering!…….pyislove…..
(Natural News) Consistently ranked as one of the top health care providers in the United States, the Cleveland Clinic is sitting on data showing that the more a person gets “vaccinated” for covid, the worse off his or her immune function.
One of the first official sources to produce solid data about covid jab (in)effectiveness, the Cleveland Clinic is also one of the few health care providers that did not require its staff members to take the shots, which were always voluntary rather than mandatory.
Some 65,000 people work for the Cleveland Clinic, so internal company data on covid jab uptake and resulting health constitutes a case study all on its own. The outcomes of natural immunity versus jab-induced immunity are easy to see when looking at Cleveland Clinic employees as clinical trial subjects and comparing the health of unvaccinated employees to that of vaccinated employees.
Based on this, it is clear that those who got jabbed for covid are less protected against covid infection than those who left their natural immune system intact. Further, the more covid jabs you take, based on the data, the less protected you are.
The Cleveland Clinic produced a study on all this showing that the original covid injection series is not only ineffective, it is anti-effective – meaning one is better off not getting injected at all.
“It is therefore not a vaccine against the present strain of Covid,” reported The Exposé. “It is an antivaccine. It damages your immune system in a dose-dependent manner. The more shots you took, the more damage you will have done to your immune system.”
(Related: On the same day in 2018 when Merck pulled a “promising” Alzheimer’s drug from trials, the Cleveland Clinic was erroneously hailing the drug’s “success”.)
Everyone who got “vaccinated” for covid is now effectively anti-vaxxed
If boosted immunity is what the “fully vaccinated” were going for by participating in the Operation Warp Speed scam, then they failed miserably to achieve that goal. The fully jabbed now have anti-protection against covid and likely many other health conditions now that their immune systems are shot.
“Ironically, all those who are vaccinated against Covid are antivaxxed,” reported The Exposé. “And all the anti-vaxxers are NOT antivaxxed. Work that one out!”
Just as the Cleveland Clinic is releasing this damning information about the jabs, emergency ambulance services in the United Kingdom are reportedly being suspended, leaving people to die in pain without proper health care.
Much like how the relatives of sick people during covid were not allowed by the authorities to visit and provide comfort, the covid-jabbed today are suffering immune failures and finding that there is no one available to help them, leaving them to suffer and die alone in excruciating pain.
What these so-called “vaccines” are doing, we now know, is giving people vaccine-induced AIDS, or VAIDS. In the months and years to come, everyone who participated in Operation Warp Speed will learn the hard way that you can never trust Big Pharma or the government with your health, especially in the midst of a contrived “emergency” or “pandemic.”
“‘The Science’ has now been established by the Cleveland Clinic,” reports explain. “Genetic vaccines damage your immune system and make you not less likely but more likely to be infected with Covid.”
“Not only that but they have horrendous side effects on the cardiovascular, neurological and reproductive systems as well. They are nothing short of mandatory progressive euthanasia. Dr. Evil would be proud of these results.”
Time goes on, and the news gets worse about Covid 19 vax//// !
It is now reported by scientists that people who are vaxxd with mRNA have weaker immune systems and are experiencing a 27% higher death rate than unvaxxed persons. Why is it that the UP state in India ( with over 200M people), had one of the very lowest death rates while they were mostly taking vitamin C, Zinc, D3, and Ivermectin during the pandemic? Was India the only country in the world that did not sign a waiver to let Pfizer off the hook for harmful side effects caused by this improperly tested vax ? Maybe too many good doctors just got fed up with Politicians trying to tell them how to practice medicine? God bless Barbara Eddy! One of the few honest scientists who the politician shut down forever! Look it up ????????????!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Also see this following report from SW health district of Idaho October 2024
Dear patients,
The Southwest Idaho Health District will stop offering COVID vaccines at all of its clinics — because 300 people, backed up by doctors, asked them to.
It’s yet another sign that the dominoes are falling …. and time is running out for the big COVID vaccine lie.
Time is also running out for you to get in on our Million Match campaign. This message was published by Children’s Health Defense,USA
It has been shown that by detoxing the body by various means. as with soaking feet or body in warm water and Epson salts for several minutes, this procedure can boost the immune system Thus kill the covid 19 virus. That is what happened to me! xfp ……..Just do it!…… Other methods still have value, it all comes from the same infinite source! …..xfp
Paramahansa Yogananda rediscovered, .................Kriya Yoga & Self-Realization Works Wonders for life !
