Last check: 2007-10-03) Fortunately, Kriyananda has a rare gift for universalizing the teachings he shares: for relating specific questions to those general principles of yoga that apply to all of us, and that point the way to the solutions we're seeking. Here's an amusing example of this aspect of Kriyananda's teaching: a couple of stories he tells on himself, relating a difficulty he faced as a new speaker, and presenting it in the broader context of the challenge all devotees face in finding the right balance between self-effort and reliance on God's grace. Kriyananda is a wonderful teacher, also, of other teachers, whom he's trained to speak in the intuitive way that Yogananda exemplified and taught to him. www.yoganandarediscovered.com /jaitruth/skFG.html   (1287 words)
