It took Swami Kriyananda more than 50 years to complete the assignment Paramahansa Yogananda gave him: he was to record what wisdom his master imparted to him, other disciples or visitors in conversations and publish these words. Swami Kriyananda devoted decades of meditation and deep reflection to his notes until he felt ready to write down conversations with Yogananda. The result is an incomparable collection of texts full of deep insights, not only into Yogananda's teachings, but also into his way of meeting people. Kriyananda brings the author of Autobiography of a Yogi up close and personal, bringing us closer to one of the most important spiritual teachers of the 20th century.
These last conversations and utterances provide countless inspirations for one's own spiritual life and essential insights into the path the soul travels from the perspective of yoga to ultimate liberation.
In 1920, Yogananda first set foot on Western soil in Boston and subsequently gave several lectures to sold-out audiences in major US cities. His yoga teachings on the subtle energies of the human being, and the effects of meditation on body, mind and soul fascinated thousands of people. Yogananda was the first master to bring a comprehensive understanding of the nature and purpose of yoga to the Western world.
