	Paramahansa Yogananda - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Yogananda met his guru, Swami Sri Yukteswar Giri, in 1910, at the age of 17.
		In 1917, Yogananda began his life's mission with the founding and running of a school for boys in a remote hamlet of Bengal, called Dihika, by the side of river Damodar, that combined modern educational techniques with yoga training and spiritual ideals.
		Yogananda, echoing traditional hindu teachings, taught that the entire universe was created for the entertainment of Brahman, that everything is simply God's cosmic "movie show", and that individuals are merely actors in the "divine play" who change "roles" through reincarnation.

	A short biography of Yogananda
		Yogananda's sister had complained to him that her husband was ridiculing her religious practice of maintaining pictures of saints in a meditation room in their home.
		Yogananda went to the temple to ask for the intercession of the "divine mother" to influence his brother-in-law to be more open and accepting of his sister's spiritual interests.
		Yogananda goes on to describe how only the goddess statue and the temple were enlarged, how his body seemed to be "composed of some ethereal substance", and how he could read his companions thoughts when he gazed at him through the now transparent temple walls.

		Self-Realization Fellowship was founded by Paramahansa Yogananda in 1920, and incorporated as a non-profit organization in California USA in 1925, as the instrument for the world wide dissemination of his teachings and the teachings of His divine lineage.
		Yogananda brought us a balanced view of life and the spiritual that is a more direct route to salvation, than the doubtful meandering labyrinths of theology hemmed in by the stictures of dogmatism.

	Yogananda Rediscovered - Karmic patterns - Reflections on the history of religion
		Yogananda made it clear that Jesus, in his original teachings, placed little emphasis on outer religion—that is to say, on church affiliation and church rituals.
		Yogananda, in saying that the teachings of Jesus have continued to be betrayed, was speaking from his realization of God; he was not speaking as a historian.
		Thus, Yogananda's statement that the churches have crucified the teachings of Christ by "churchifying" them cannot mean that he faulted them for acting according to their sincere understanding.

		But all books by Yogananda published before his passing in 1952 are in the public domain (His magazine articles and lessons published before 1943 are in that domain too).

		One of the problems with Yogananda is his diarrhoe-looking assertions that this and that (obscure) passage from this and that scripture, talks of kriya yoga or something similar in esoterical manner.

	[No title]
		Yogananda’s autobiography is replete with accounts of the mystical and miraculous, including his own ecstatic visions as well as his encounters with legendary Hindu “saints.” The latter allegedly displayed such powers as levitation, materialization of a second body, and the ability to live without such physical necessities as food and sleep.
