A personal Experience with Covid 19.

After attending a meeting with a few friends in late 2024, contracted the respiratory infection covid 19 along with several other persons.
These other persons were tested to confirm that is was Covid 19.
Although I had in my possession a supply of “Ivermectin” pills, from India?
I decided to see if my immune system would heal the disease, so they never got used.

Seeing no improvement after 6 days i applied a simple inexpensive home remedy for 3 evenings which boosted my immune system and cleared my lungs, and left my immune system much Stronger than before !!!!!!!!!

I just celebrated my 90th birthday several months ago.
Kriya yoga and Yogoda exercises are effective and wonderful!

Also; please Read the article “was the vax ever needed?” x Fp

“Yogananda London Meditation Circle.” (established 1972)
Now over 50 years of weekly Meditation Readings services!
But now no longer affiliated with SRF Centres Department in the USA, Between their
mismanagement and my life challenges we no longer see eye to eye.

It only takes one incompetent novice monk to ruin years of good work by many others.!
Devotees and seekers all welcome to worship at masters shrine in London Ontario.
” but master once said ???”…..That was Then and This is Now, things change,
such as Yogananda’s mandates……
It is not unusual these days to find unaffiliated Paramahansa Yogananda meditation groups.
throughout the western world!
Yogis are sometimes a very independent bunch! fp

Meditation is the science of God‑realization which brings true light and happiness into our lives. It is the most practical lifestyle science in the world.

Whatever trauma or baggage is preventing you from reaching your full potential of a happy, successful and meaningful life, Self-Realization Kriya Yoga, and attunement with this Guru, will remove those barriers to success.

Most people would want to meditate if they understood its value & experienced its beneficial effects.

The ultimate object of meditation is to attain conscious awareness of God [the real Self within] – That one Reality that underlies this dream world of relativity, and the soul’s eternal oneness with Him [ The real part of our being.]
What achievement could be more purposeful and useful than to
harness the unlimited human faculties of the omnipresence and omnipotence of our Creator?
 God‑realization FROM MEDITATION bestows on the meditator
the blessings of true LIGHT, PEACE, LOVE, JOY, POWER, AND WISDOM.

NOTE;
FOR THOSE WHO HAVE NOT GAINED THE ABOVE RESULTS, you may have lacked proper study, understanding, methodology, practice, devotion, discipline, motives, patience, and Receptivity!
Don’t compare your life with any one else’s, we all start off from different levels with various skills, desires, challenges, and intentions.
As light brings illumination to darkness, so the Guru brings success to seeming failures.
A “Living Guru” works with or without being in a live physical body!
This will become evident as you follow these teachings with loyalty and devotion.
To the perfected Master the physical instrument is unnecessary once His work here is completed.
He then comes to the advancing devotee/seeker in vision or form when the time is right!

The techniques and practices of Kriya Yoga science are not complicated, but it is advanced, precise, and sophisticated, requiring and exactness of sustained regular serious practice as set up by the true God realized Master whose life is the first evidence of how effective His teaching is. 
One should contact SRF /YSS for the advanced kriya yoga course lessons {for a nominal fee}

“Kriya Yoga Science of Meditation is more than a set of instructions,” said Daya Mata.
Instructions are available from many sources – but what will you really get?
Many have been duped by copy cat beginners….

Through your relationship with SRF/YSS comes the Masters great blessings and help, with the true legacy of Paramahansa Yogananda and the great ones. I will assure you from my lifetime of experience with SRF/YSS Lessons course and His blessings, that if you work at this and understand what you are doing,
you will never need anything else to reach true Cosmic Consciousness. To know the God within!
It is a most complete and compassionate scientific Spiritual Path for the ages.

Our NEW “London Yogananda Meditation Circle” has weekly meditation services based upon  service readings format established by Paramahansa Yogananda.
Come and experience the expanding Awareness,  LIGHT , LOVE,  & PEACE, and proper group meditation with us. It will change your life and successes.
Please call 2269773008 OR 519 438 4744 for times and directions…permission to attend
as space may be limited at times. Essentially, all sincere serious devotees and seekers
are welcome.

This meditation circle is an advanced Yogoda spiritual community dedicated to individual Self-Realization and inner joy based upon the life and teaching of Paramahansa Yogananda, there are many such groups world wide that are unaffiliated with
a major organization.

Please note. This group is no longer under the
Management or Direction of SRF MC [Canada] Centers Dept.

Accelerate the expanding awareness of your consciousness and universal love in this uplifting environment. Change Yourself!

SRF is not a sub group of any other religion –
it is unique, transformative, balanced, pluralistic, and spiritually refreshing.
Free of old dogmas and non-functional rituals. This Yoga is truly scientific !
We have been meeting  here for many years and invite you to please call us at;  
226-977-3008 for times, directions, and other meeting details,
We are planning to have a mid-week Study group studying and meditating the inspiring writings of Paramahansa Yogananda at a future date.
Yogananda tells all devotees to always work with
His own Self-Realization Fellowship/YSS centres.

“Practice (SRF/YSS) Kriya Yoga, and you will surely succeed on the spiritual path. That is my own experience. The liberating power of Kriya Yoga sunders the prison bars of karma. I have never found in East or West such a great technique as this. Everyone who is a follower of Kriya and of this path of Self-Realization Fellowship will go far ahead. Meditate and see the results in yourself…” .
….said Paramahansa Yogananda.

GROUP MEDITATION will enrich your spiritual life, and was a most
 important recommendation by Yogananda for all serious YSS/SRF devotees.
Bring more peace and harmony into your personal life.
The meditation group is our community of Master’s SRF/YSS devotees world-wide. Your regular attendance will help you sustain a stronger personal practice of your spiritual sadhana.

Meeting together on a regular basis is one of the greatest aids in helping a new devotees personal growth and happiness. You will find that overcoming negative moods and addictions is easier.

By attending these sacred meetings you support Masters community and His great world wide work that is enhancing World Peace and the growth of Human consciousness.

Yogananda created the SRF/YSS as His premier authorized non-sectarian NRM to publish and disseminate the great Babaji’s teachings of Kriya Yoga as taught to Him by the great ones – Lahiri Mahasaya and Swami Sri Yukteswar.  Some persons  like to dispute which version of Kriya is most pure, but the fact remains that Yogananda has left us a thoroughly proven system that will take one all the way to cosmic consciousness.
Everything one will ever need is in the Lessons course and other published materials as taught by Paramahansa Yogananda through SRF. These advanced spiritual SRF Lessons are accompanied by ongoing personal counseling and Kriya Yoga initiations.

Essentially one does not absolutely need an organization when properly attuned to
the Gurus presence, with clear understanding and devotion to the Guru.
That was then = and this is now we have All made our mistakes and I am connected
to the Guru and the holy spirit. You won;t really know me unless you get to know me over a long long time, He is part of me and I am He now. So truth becomes clear.

Another major revelation shared by Paramahansa Yogananda was the Restoration of the True teachings and concommitance of the the Bible Gospels and the Bhagavad Gita from India. Few persons understand the powerful effect that Lord Krishna’s Gita [gospel] is having on the progress of human civilization for the last
many millennia of human history!

This chapter will be written at a later date, keep in touch.
By the way…..in contrast with a few comments I made on the net 30 years ago, I do not believe in woke ideologies of any form of Marxist delusions!

Read His “The Yoga of Jesus” and/or “The Yoga of the Bhagavad Gita” for a better idea of what His revelatory message is.
Also read, “Autobiography of a Yogi” (orange cover editions from SRF Publishers are the only up to date, complete, and accurate editions.)  Now available on Kindle or from other publishers, be sure to buy the “SRF Publishers” complete edition!)
I do not recommend someone else reading Yogananda’s books for you, through machine processes on the net, please read, feel and digest every word for yourself.
and digest and fell the master presence growing each day.
Hearing some of His words at a service is different then listening casually to such
wisdom half -heartedly while busy with something else;

The Master also authorized SRF/YSS Mother Center president in LA USA to approve all future qualified Kriya Yoga teachers/initiators and ministers on a yearly basis who would use Yogananda’s name and teachings to assist this great cause initiated by the great ones.
What has change in the last many years? that will be discussed in future essays;

WHAT IS SELF-REALIZATION ?

Paramahansa Yogananda tells us that;
“Self-Realization is the knowing-in body, mind and soul- that we are one with the omnipresence of God; that we do not have to pray that it come to us, that we are not merely near it at all times, but that God’s omnipresence is our omnipresence ; that we are just as much a part of Him now as we ever will be. All we have to do is improve our knowing.”

You can learn more about SRF Kriya Yoga meditation lessons course
by contacting SRF Mother Centre or visiting  www.yogananda.org
This web site will tell you much about Yogananda’s only organization
and offers free basic meditation instructions to all visitors…………
There are many inspiring – Self-Help talks and tips on the net , You Tube, etc
If you wish to learn more about the life and work of Paramahansa Yogananda,
see these links also: “The Yogananda Site” and “SRF Answers” .

SELF-REALIZATION FELLOWSHIP /YSS is the most Authentic, RELIABLE, ACCURATE, & COMPLETE SOURCE FOR TEACHINGS AND PUBLICATIONS ABOUT PARAMAHANSA YOGANANDA and KRIYA YOGA LESSONS .

KRIYA YOGA is more than a set of instructions. Unless you take some preliminary training, unless you understand the value and necessity of Surrender, Unless you take this course as the master has set it up,
You will not gain what should be gained when practicing Kriya Yoga. You will think that the method does not really work that well – but the real problem will normally lie in your attitudes to the Guru. Loyalty and attunement are needed!

SELF-REALIZATION FELLOWSHIP/YSS is NOT simply A NEW AGE TEACHING. SRF/YSS is similar to “New thought ” teachings, plus the science of KRIYA YOGA and Devotion……………..

With great emphasis on meditation and drug free, healthy, balanced living.
And a remarkable unblemished progressive history.

Self-Realization Fellowship/YSS IS NOT A SUB GROUP OF ANY OTHER RELIGION.
It is non-sectarian! It is uniquely original and new! It is one of a kind!
I only wish that those who write about it would learn more about it first!

SELF-REALIZATION FELLOWSHIP / Yogoda Sat Sangha is the only Kriya Yoga group recommended & founded by Paramahansa Yogananda.
SELF-REALIZATION FELLOWSHIP /YSS TEACHES THE COMPLETE KRIYA YOGA, including the higher Kriyas necessary to reach the highest levels of Divine awareness, [ often called by many “the kingdom of heaven” or “Salvation”].

Taking Kriya Yoga initiation via Yogananda’s SRF/YSS will give you all you will ever need to reach Cosmic Consciousness. As for those who imagine they have a better kriya yoga, or a so-called “original “Kriya Yoga etc, they have yet to learn there never was “only one way” for all.
Even Lahiri Mahasaya gave differing initiations to different devotees according to their needs.
But if you want to work with Yogananda’s way via SRF/YSS,  He is the last Guru and strongly recommended joining Self-Realization Fellowship, and taking the SRF Lessons course in order to gain all the benefits and blessings of these teachings.
These Living Masters give their direct help and protection to loyal SRF/YSS devotees.
They are more than a mediators between us and God. They are your goal of Union with reality.

MEDITATION AND STUDY GROUPS ARE OPEN TO ALL SINCERE SEEKERS / MEDITATORS.
These photos represent the true lineage of SRF/YSS.

Jesus the Christ            Mahavatar Babaji        Swami Sri Yukteswar /Paramahansa Yogananda/ Lahiri Mahasaya    Bhagavan Krishna

These  LIVING PROPHETS (Gurus) are the great examples that guide and protect the lives of all sincere Kriya Yoga devotees of the One Reality. The true Guru is more than a teacher, yet is now a mediator between you and God.
 These  manifestations of the Divine Reality represent our main inspiration and sources of  wisdom to awaken us from the worlds dream.

There Never was “only one Lifetime “for each Soul,
[the higher self.! Read your scriptures !!!
There Never Was – “ONLY ONE WAY.”
There Never Was – “ONLY ONE SAVOIR ”
There Never Was- “ONLY ONE HOLY BOOK” called God’s word!
The above popular traps of some religions are holdovers from darker ages.
You must learn how to read your own book!
You must learn the true morality and depth of these teachings!

If one makes a full and proper study of the Christian Gospels and the Holy Bhagavad Gita [Lord Krishna’s Gospel]., you may discover as I did ,
that although these two Avatars were thousands of years apart their teachings are exactly the same for the similar [[that he said after arriving back in Southern Judea
after 18 years away, “I came to save the lost sheep of Israel.”
That was then ;;;; now in world conflicts Israel is risking everything to save the world!
levels of different cultures which were ready for this most advanced level of spirituality so many years apart.
Each prophet did not necessarily bring a more advanced teaching for all of humanity, but often in more primitive times for a particular cultures needs.
Now that the world is so fully intermixing, India is bringing a truly universal teaching for a global upgrade……again!

The True picture of what ancient scriptures really means can only be intuitively ascertained by looking at the whole picture of thousands of years of all this worlds spiritual history. Anything less will only keep one bound to dogmatism and the narrowest views of life. Yogananda’s experience shows that He was able to see both into the future and the past to wisely discern exactly what was said there!
No one religion can honestly claim to be the “only way” to live and find salvation from this world of relativity. The “only way” slogan is no more than con.

True UNITY IN DIVERSITY only happens when one does not practice claims of exclusivism and abrogation of previous true Dispensations/scriptures. 
Group Meditation accelerates ones spiritual transformation and creates a healthy world community of freedom, light, joy, and peace.

The prime message and teachings of the Great Ones is ….
“Change yourself First, then you will see clearly to enlighten others.” pp

We also honor the SAINTS AND SAGES OF ALL TRUE PATHS  and do not abrogate their esoteric teachings.
This is a balanced non-sectarian scientific spiritual path that will enhance your awareness of the Divine regardless of your present affiliation. Narrowness and dogmatism must be left behind!

Yogananda’s Great Legacy explained 

Photos and quotes of Yogananda 1              cover autoyogi.gif

The orange covered edition [by Self-Realization Fellowship Publishers]
which is now on kindle at $1.99 [2014], is the only complete edition
 which clearly represents the final instructions for this SRF book
 by Yogananda – as He wanted it.
It is the only up to date and complete edition available anywhere, just as Yogananda had it revised to be. His personally trained editors were spiritually advanced souls who fully understood Yogananda’s directions for His great mission to the world.
SRF Editions give you the full story,  the best quality, for your money.
The best part of all this is that SRF edition comes with the Guru’s blessings and darshan.

I fully trust the quality and accuracy of SRF publishers on this book.
These were the people who truly understood these teachings
and remained loyal to Yogananda’s work since his passing in 1952.
Yogananda Himself made many changes to this book from the start…..
If he wanted it to be read as originally printed He wouldn’t have made any changes.
For persons who are “psychological antiques” it still remains a sacred cow!
The whole SRF editions  with orange cover has resulted in a spiritual masterpiece
that is changing the way people see spirituality in the world……
Now available from SRF/YSS in over 60 Languages world wide.
