Conversations with Yogananda

0.0

Swami Kriyananda was often present when Paramhansa Yogananda spoke privately with other close disciples, when he received visitors and answered their questions, and when he was dictating and discussing his important writings. Paramhansa Yogananda put Swami Kriyananda in charge of the other monks, and gave him advice for their spiritual development. In all these situations, Swami Kriyananda recorded the words and guidance of his Guru, preserving for the ages wisdom that would otherwise have been lost. Here is an intimate glimpse of life with Paramhansa Yogananda never before shared by any other student. These conversations include not only the Guru’s words, but also the added insight of a direct disciple who has spentnearly 60 years reflecting on and practicing his teachings. Through these conversations Paramhansa Yoga- nanda comes alive.
