He [Yogananda], like Bhagavan Krishna, Jesus, and others, is another living Son of God, the true Living Reality we are all seeking. That which is an essential part of our own being is not an intermediary or separateness.
That which is realized is more alive out of the body than we are while still in this body! “That ” is the name of Reality in the Sanatana Dharma [Hinduism].
Yogananda says ” All credit for this great dispensation goes to my predecessors,” He never claimed to be the owner or originator of this great
Holy dispensation, even though through His direct agency millions of lives are being enhanced every day on this planet.
Paramahansa Yogananda was chosen by the great ones to be the interface with modern humanity for this truly great dispensation.
Yoganandaji is not an intermediary between man and God, He is literally , through the perfected union of Kriya Yoga, “That” (Brahman) which we are all seeking to know and love, the divine love and light which walks among us still through His living presence and love! That – which is the very core of our Being and life.

I make this declaration!
There has never been such a complete, detailed, reliable, and verifiable record of a True Prophet of this Stature [a true Avatar/Paramahansa] in the annals of human history. “By their fruits you shall know them.”..jc’

His divinity was witnessed first hand by millions in recent times as a constantly expressed enlightening and healing presence, both before and after His demise. This is the meaning of the term “Living Prophet.”
I have personally been a direct witness to His living presence and the divinity of His successors, some of whom I knew personally and can testify to their veracity and enlightenment as well.
He has saved me from some dire consequences as I struggled to iron out some of the karmic kinks of my consciousness. His protection never fails!
His clarification of spiritual principles and Kriya Yoga science was made
available to the most wide ranging audience imaginable and has never stopped growing. From the man in the street to the most erudite scholarly Yogis, Indologists, devotees and seekers world wide His presence is clearly changing this world from darkness to light!

Although He was not the first Yogi saint to inspire the west,
His vast wisdom corpus and overwhelming influence over 3 decades in America and the world is unmatched in modern annals.

His myriad prophecies and devotionally expressed range of teachings and healings touch our deepest sensitivities, and has refined our level of wisdom concerning the truth of both ancient and modern spirituality.

He was love divine incarnate! Free of all the isms of blind exclusivity and linear prophetics. Yoganandaji expressed the ideal life and wisdom legacy for the ages to come, a universally non-sectarian Guru appealing to all universal love, light, and peace loving pluralists. So far [as of 2023] his divine revelations have not suffered the distorting, petrifying ills of politicization. That limiting curse which in the past as misaligned so many other sects.
Being so recent in occurrence, His works and clear history have not suffered the ravages and the distortions of time, linguistic adjustments, translation errors or misdirected psychic imaginings. Although there are many wolves out there waiting and attempting to use His great legacy as their own undeserved stepping stone to undeserved fame. Beware of Them!

The history of His esteemed community of Self-Realization Fellowship /
Yogoda Sat Sangha shows an unparalleled succession of leadership by great souls who were/are totally devoid of personal ambitions.
Those who did not fully appreciate the value of divine selfless service established by Yoganandaji left the community long ago to pursue their own ambitions. That is another story.

His wide ranging corpus is now available to most of humanity in their native
languages [over 90% of the peoples of planet earth can now read about this great world teacher in their own languages,] and having originally been expressed in English, is now available in over 60 languages.
In the most spiritually enlightening and detailed expressions of spiritual lore include His translation and commentary of the Holy Bhagavad Gita for all of Humanity.
It is now published by his ever growing community of great devotees [ Self-Realization Fellowship/Yogoda Sat Sangha.] This Scripture of scriptures elucidates one of the most clarified spiritual revelations since the noble Veda Vyasa revealed Lord Krishna’s Holy Bhagavad Gita to the world. Lord Krishna’s actual date charted by the most accurate astronomical Indic scriptural records was circa 5525 BC.

I [Federico Parente] make this declaration from my personal experience!
and from my growing attunement with Yogananda’s ever Living spirit.
Paramahansa Yogananda has been personally directing my life growth and learning for many years, lifetimes even!
As the intuition grows in the constant vibrating AUM of my awareness it is the greatest of life’s assets to be protected and guided by a true savior/Guru.
He post humusly introduced Himself to me at the age of 23. This only resulted in a successful recognition by me while taking a rest from my incessant truth seeking! I was never intentionally seeking for a Guru!
The SRF Lessons course and His sublime writings, along with the endless inspirations of so many wise and saintly monastics of SRF/YSS are the greatest were my greatest mentors. Daya Mata’s personal darshan saved me from some dire consequences and follies of this worldly life.
As it says in the scriptures, “We know what we worship” …jc

These essays are for those who wish to move forward in their evolution,
we fully know that we may not know what path is the right path for all beings.
Proselytism is the way of the many, the rabid blind rush of the religious fanatics that Jesus warned all against – the misguided missionary class who
do not yet even understand the truth of their own proclaimed paths –
this blind fanaticism is “the way of the many.” It is the hallmark of all “Abrahamic” religions, who , since their inceptions are sadly out to outdo and/or destroy one another through a blind uninformed proselytism.
Will it ever stop?

But the Great Ones tell us “first change yourself and you have done your part in changing the world”…..PY
or “First remove the wood beam from your own eye, then you may say clearly to remove the speck from your brothers eye”….JC

Again, we cannot repeat these axioms often enough:
There was never ever only one savior for the whole world, except it be the universal Christ/Krishna consciousness.
There never was only one true path for all men for all time, except that universal Inner path of the few that knows no violence!
There never was only one completed and flawless Holy Book for the
world for all time, and academic training will never reveal the Reality of Brahman , who hardly dwells in dusty pages!
Although those same pages can be so inspiring when one learns how to read with insight and wisdom.
Academia, with its greed-blinded eyes ever hungry for more wealth and power, is one of the greatest servants of raw political power. Protected by all those weaponized goons in uniform, and worldly goals and degrees.
Politicization [the power structures of blind men and women] is the distortion and the adulteration of all true religion, and numbers do not reveal more truth. They may reveal instead the blind compliance of an ever growing slavery of the masses accelerated by far reaching sightless technology.
Read “Brave new World” (1935) and “Brave New World Revisited” (1954) By Aldous Huxley, who, like many of the worlds great luminaries, chose the Holy Bhagavad Gita as His sacred spiritual guidebook for life. This man of great insight and wisdom saw clearly where the god of technology was taking mankind, and also gave us some solutions to slow down our unthinking runaway madness of worshipping the science of profiteering.

When the great one [PY] arrived in America in Sept 1920, His first widely acclaimed talk was on the “Science of Religion.” As there was so much
blind fanaticism about the promise of technological change.
So He said to the world, “so, you are crazy about your tech sciences, try this one on for size, this [Sanatana Dharma] is the mother of all sciences, and this mother is the Divine Feminine within that was called the “holy spirit” by previous prophets.” [paraphrased by me]
What Sri Paramahansa Yogananda brought us was the highest teachings from two great prophets of the Gita and the Bible, finally depoliticizing the meaning of true religion, explained it all with wisdom and common sense, and above all, the true living demonstration of all these principles demonstrated in his own life in our modern times with endless reliable witnesses. He is still being witness and discussed by devotees and non devotees alike. This is just the beginning of this major divine dispensation!

This is a first in the history of spiritual world prophets, that history has managed avoided most of the time-worn confusions caused by time and translators, and politicization of a new message from Reality.
Of course we will never be rid of copy cat detractors and distorters that will inevitable rear their heads in future generations! Such is human nature..
