Paramhansa Yogananda delighted audiences, students, and friends with stories drawn from his own life experiences and the people he met in his native India, as well as during his global travels and cross-country teaching campaigns in the United States.\

Lovingly told by his direct disciple, Swami Kriyananda, his nephew, Hare Krishna Ghosh, and Yogananda himself, these stories are timeless in their relevance. Addressing the age-old challenges of society at large, as well as the individual human predicament, these stories often offer an impersonal perspective on our traits and tendencies.

Paramhansa Yogananda’s stories demonstrate an expanded worldview that includes everyone. While fully engaging in the modern world of his day, he never identified with its limitations or tantalizing, illusive promises. With courage and willingness to stand up for universal truths, he shows us that we have a choice in how we are going to live and in using our inherent soul ability we possess to adapt and change, even drastically, when called upon to do so.

Each story includes a “Gem of Wisdom” in Yogananda’s own words. By giving us a clear path to overcoming the limitations of ego, adjusting our attitudes, and expanding our hearts, he offers us a priceless and lasting gift that we can then share with receptive hearts of any age.

About the Author

Paramhansa Yogananda

Paramhansa Yogananda (often spelled 'Paramahansa' Yogananda) was born on January 5, 1893 in Gorakhpur, India. He was the first yoga master of India to permanently live and teach in the West.

Yogananda's initial impact was truly impressive. But his lasting impact has been even greater. Yogananda's Autobiography of a Yogi, first published in 1946, helped launch a spiritual revolution throughout the world. His message was nonsectarian and universal.

Yogananda brought clarity to hundreds of thousands of people regarding the ancient teachings of India. These teachings include the path of Kriya Yoga, which Yogananda called the 'jet-airplane' route to God, consisting of ancient yoga techniques to hasten the spiritual evolution of the student.

Excellent choice with examples of wisdom for all.

Many of the stories are not new, but some definitely are. They are presented clearly and flow into the cogent explanation, thoughtful reflection.

Disappointed

I was excited to get this book but after reading through it I had read many of them in previous publications from Crystal Clarity and SRF. I feel like I wasted my money on it.

Waiting or my book to arrive.

I have not yet received the book I ordered several weeks ago.

Stories from the Life of Yogananda

Every vignette is fun to read, very short, and includes a "wisdom gem." If you want to "learn how to learn" the lessons of life from your own life experience, note how Yogananda did so in his own life, through this book. It is a window on his self-reflection process. And it is full of wisdom for us, because we can surely identify with the stories of his life in our own histories. I also notice his forthright speech and courage as he interacts with others, unafraid to speak truth.
