The Love That Remains: The Family, Disciples, and Spiritual Community of Paramhansa Yogananda

"This book is a masterpiece, capturing the stories of Paramhansa Yogananda’s beloved family members. No one else but Nayaswami Durga, who knew each of them personally, could have created such a work. Through letters, photos, and stories, this book offers for present and future generations a window onto the lives of those who incarnated around this great Master. The Love That Remains has a dual meaning—those who lived with Yogananda, and Durga’s loving effort to introduce them to all of us." –Nayaswami Devi

"This is unbelievably beautifully researched, compiled, and written. What a humongous task you have done, dearest Durga! I truly cherish the entire process you undertook painstakingly, because the outcome before my eyes is so very precious! Jai Guru. –Sukanya Bose Dey, Hare Krishna’s granddaughter

"As I read The Love that Remains, I found a hollowness in my discipleship to Yogananda being filled. Though I have never in this life been in India or met many of the master’s relatives, here in the pages of this book I have found Yogananda’s India coming alive, and – as though speaking directly to me, telling their personal stories – people intimately connected with Yoganandaji in his homeland, perhaps growing up with him, living near him, perhaps as members of his extended family, loving him generation after generation. Here, too, are images of relics sacred to our spiritual lineage, relics shared with all of us through the kindness of these lovely souls, their impact made sweeter for the spirit of shared discipleship that has brought them to us." –Nayaswami Prakash
