I have only seen the photo until this footage.. and have always wondered who the figure is that stands in the background. ha.. I do not know why I am so curious on such a mystery! Ah..but anyway, thank you for sharing the footage!
@omiswheretheheartis I understand that this was filmed at Sri Yukteswar's(Paramahansa's teacher's) ashram(hermatage) in India in the late 1920's. Sri Yukteswar is standing beside Yogananda(seated). The other people are students of Yuketeswar. The figure standing in the rear appears to be a female and may be Sri Ma(1896-1982).
@gemini16th ah..good one, Sri Ma! ..that could be! I have just always been drawn to the person standing there in the background, I mean, of course Yogananda & Sri Yukteswar as well!
The love between Guru and student is so apparent here... It lives on through time in this brief film clip. I am so grateful for this moment that graced my eyes.
I dont want to appear as something or anything,b ut i felt a heat and something so intense when the video began,now it stoped...it was a heat not from the screen...
The first I watched this I was blown away. I'm still amazed. I showed it to a friend and he felt the same way. Everyone that see this recieves a Darshan or holy sight. You can feel his vibration. How great a human being is this that you can be lifted by an 11 second video some 60 years later. Blessings from Sri Babaji DWB
You say you learned kriya from a real teacher. This is the correct way to learn kriya, from a real guru at the appropriate time. And now you have taken it upon yourself to disseminate the kriya technique to others via the internet. Can i ask, are you a real kriya teacher? Who are you to give this technique? It should be from Guru to a devotee only. Did your real Teacher give you permission to release the technique on the interenet?
If you are saying Paramahansa Yogananda is sitting on a pedestal, i would laugh out loud. He is more humble than you or I will ever be, or anyone else for that matter.
@ombabaji1 I agree with you! Yogananda realized and lived the ultimate truth that sets one free in this world- to selflesslly "love all people & help all people" regardless of race, religion, sex etc.
Swami Sivananda use to teach the Kriya Technique, sometime after his passing when Swami Chidanandaji for The Divine Life Society in Rishikesh became president, Swamiji stopped teaching the Kriya technique as it is too powerful and problems where happening. It is known that people were getting stuck in the astral plane and not being able to come back into the body. These are some of the risks by taking Kriya Lightly. Dont do it, for your own sake. Follow the right way, by the guru, not false guru
@nt109 All one has to do, is read a bit more about kriya yoga and realize there is alot more to this technique than what you mention above. Yogananda explains it well in chapter 26 of the Autobiography of a Yogi.
You wil find it is very scientific, and extremely magical! It is a powerful technique and the devotee will need guidance by a true guru (whether it be Yogananda or someone else) while they are still engrossed in maya, until they reach the final goal.
Please be aware of people posting Links to the Kriya Technique, this technique should not be messed with and needs proper guidance of the preliminary techniques for about 1 year followed by (if it is right for you) a Guru Disciple eternal connection (Diksha initiation).
Those who want to practice it will, those who wont wont. I learned Kriya from a real teacher actually. No one OWNS kriya. SRF doesn't own kriya, Some guru sitting on a pedestal doesn't own kriya, Who are you to say? Those who want to seek that path will practice it.
@nt109 Is there nothing sacred anymore?? There is an old saying easy come, easy go! Can u tell me how many people that you have given this technique too, will be still doing in 10 or 20 years? I can guarantee when there egos get ruffled by maya and they havent got a true satguru to inwardly tune in to and recieve guidance they will fall away. SRF doesnt own Kriya, i didnt say they did, however they have a true guru at the helm, which is why it has stood the test of time.
This is rare footage of Sri Yukteswar's hermitage in Puri, India, with Paramahansa and other disciples of the Kriya Yoga he taught- aprox. around 1927 or so. The figure in the back seems to be a female- another disciple or wife.
@msgroovytwoshoes Yes- In his "Autobiography Of A Yogi", Paramahansa included a chapter that described Sri Yukteswar appearing to him after his physical death. Yogananda described the experience as VERY real- he could even reach out and touch him!
@gemini16th Im Just reading that book. My dad bought it for 11 years ago and it meant so much to him he bought me a copy and I am finally reading it! It is quite fascinating! Do you have any suggestions on books I can read that might be related?
@msgroovytwoshoes Any of the other(numerous!) works by Yogananda. Start with "Man's Eternal Quest"(I'm currently reading- although it's a bit "deep"); "Journey To Self Realization"(my next project), and "The Divine Romance". There's much more than this. You can find them on Amazon & Ebay, or possibly Barnes & Noble. Happy reading!
If you want Kriya Yoga insructions from Yogananda ->> i posted a link in my channel with the original instructions given by Yogananda to his students in the early days before SRF was even formed.. Im not trying to get views on my channel. I just cant get the link to work if i post it in the comments section.
@sriduniv Dear Sriduniv, Kriya yoga is not something to be taken lightly, or to be done with out the preliminary techniques as taught in the self realization lessons. Paramahansa gave these lessons for good reason, the lessons are to prepare your body, mind and soul for the higher initiation (guru diksha) and the kriya technique. NT109's comments are a typical mentality of a westerner, wants every thing now.. instead of having patience and taking time to set a rock solid foundation on the path
@sriduniv If you really want to know about kriya and learn it as Yoganandaji has taught, contact the source. Here is a link to the home study lesson for Self realization fellowship yogananda-srf. Wish you well. Jaiguru
Wow. That was great! I am a Kriyaban, via Shankarananda Giri of Orissa. I am not qualified to be a teacher, but I am qualified to say that Kriya works. Been doing it for 12 years now. It is a fantastic practice. Sri Yukteswar had many disciples, not just Yogananda, who became popular in the west. Many of them remained secretive, and did not start big organizations. You can find them and their disciples if you go to India and seek them out.
I'm so thankful to have discovered this rare footage- something told me to search "Yogananda" here on youtube. I discovered his works about 3 years ago("Autobiography Of A Yogi"/"Man's Eternal Quest") and was simply BLOWN AWAY by what I was reading. The ENIGMA is that an Indian spritural teacher came to this country in the early 20th century to teach true Christian principals to a "Christian" nation. The light of his smile way truly beautiful.
I don't know how high up in the organization you are but I guarantee that like the Catholic church the "high priests" don't even believe what they're preaching. You just get sucked in and after so many years you just play the game. Devote your time to exposing the NWO, or use what I just told you to advance in SRF. Use your imagination to make up wild stories of teleportation. No one can prove your lying. Now you're the "Master".
When you have a guru avatar such as Paramhansa Yogananda and a paramguru such a Sri Yukteswar, egos will get ruffled on the path. So common. If you follow gurujis teachings & only take in the positive life is sweet. Most people who leave is due to politics which is in all organizations, there ego just cannot take it... no easy path, never the less the teachings & guru is truth.
You have the lingo down very well. You will be an excellent candidate for leadership. Keep going down "the path"--- the sooner you realize you have to sellout, the faster you will advance. Get out now! It's your huge ego that's telling you you're "spiritually advanced". Have you lost all ability to reason?
who said anything about spiritualy advanced? If anything my huge ego that once was, has deminished over the years, and now feel more loving, sharing and happy now than ever before. It may not be the path for you, but for many who love Guruji & SRF it is everything. Im sorry to hear you feel the way you do, and thats fine, you have your journey. Good luck, but show some respect to others by allowing them to make decisions for themselves.
I have a few questions i would love a direct yes or no answer if you can....How long where you with SRF? Did you practice the teachings as recommended by the guru daily with faith & devotion? Did you introduce any other teachings or where influenced by other paths in the time you were with SRF?
I can point out several ways that your ability to reason or use logic is gone. I'm trying to help you. Your mind is turning to mush. You have no concept of what is happening on this earth. The only thing you're ever going to do is help turn other minds to mush, exactly what the NWO wants. You prove to be a valiant defender of your doctrine, indeed a candidate for leadership.
Your inability to answer some simple questions shows that you are avoiding the fact that you didnt give it your all when in SRF, when you didnt get the results of peace and bliss you where after you went sour, hence your reason for feeling resentment, anger & a need to critisize SRF. Good luck to you. In fact it wouldnt surprise me if you werent in SRF and you from a cult like Scentology where you try and think you can help by telling people there mind is turning to mush! lol nice try
I never said I was In SRF. Yogananda had disciples not part of SRF teaching pretty much the same thing. Obviously you're going to try to tell me SRF has some mystery that is not revealed to anyone else. If you can say "diminishing" not "advancing"-- Thanks for the laugh! Your ego is bigger than when you started. Scientology---another cult that thinks you "advance spiritually". Spend that time in "meditation" researching instead lazy.
Actually im pretty curious to know what happened to you when you decided to leave SRF? If your open to tell me, would love to understand why you think its a cult etc... I know the path is not an easy one, why would it be when it could be your last incarnation.. all karma has to go!
You are assuming that the doctrine of reincarnation is true.
You are assuming that the doctrine of karma is true.
Are you really concerned with truth? You must use logic, reason and observation to make your conclusions. You will find that if you ever have an original thought that no one wants to listen to you.
I could easily play on your desire to believe that you have some redeeming value within yourself. The conned is a con who wants to be conned. There is nothing easier than to believe that you can be "spiritually advanced".
Look my friend, sitting in "meditation" for hours a day is not a discipline it is a sickness and I can out-sick you for years. Nothing you believe makes any sense. You have no clue as to the origin of your doctrine nor what is actually happening in reality.
Wow, someone has an axe to grind. I haplessly wander onto this page and decide to ask a simple question--and get a baseless, unfounded, knee-jerk response. You know what you know about me? Jack-shit. One wonders if there's something to mysticism, and upon hearing a negative testimony, one asks. But judging by your response, I think I know 'what went wrong,' and it wasn't SRF...
Way to use 'logic, reason and observation.' You're clearly a pro.
Sorry bro, it just sounded like by the lingo you used you were probably already deep into this stuff. I do hope you be 100% devoted to God but you're not going to meet him through this path. Start investigating the NWO and it will probably click as to the origin of this doctrine.
Actually it is easy when you know who it is that created both of us and his nature. Then you will know the true nature of man. People like me are known for being tortured to death before renouncing our faith that your only hope is not you -- it is the sacrifice He made for you. Simple, done,-- no "advancement", or eating a little cookie for that matter.
I'm a christian, and I have read every yogananda book and swami's "the holy science" these holy men have opened my eyes.
the lord himself (Jesus) according to the gospels reincarnated, so what is it that philoplatt is saying, he doubts jesus? Jesus was all about Karma, so again, contradicting himself.
Wow --- if you think spending years becoming "spiritually advanced" has anything to do with salvation through a sacrifice ---- mental problems my friend. Get out of this cult now!
@Polither -- You could easily teach the Baptists allot about the bible if you study it. One of the strategies of Yogananda and his followers is to totally misrepresent the Gospel or, they will build "straw men" arguments. Never addressing what it is for real -- just believe, done. No supporting some damn lazy "guru" for your "education".
I've studied the Bible, cover-to-cover. I used to be a fundamentalist Christian, an abortion-hating, pro-life Calvinist Christian. Studied Calvin, Spurgeon, A. W. Pink, Warfield, etc.,
Really, the only outcome of my 'practice' ended with my hating my neighbor and doubting the goodness in life. Asking Jesus into my 'heart' was not transformative, no matter how many times I did so, no matter how broken a 'sinner' I felt.
I have no interest in returning to fundamentalism.
I realize that Yogananda misrepresents the historical interpretation of the Bible. Centuries upon a millenium of debate about the nature of 'The Trinity' and burning heretics and elaborate systematic theologies--and Yogananda comes by in five seconds to say, "Oh, my spiritual insight says the Holy Trinity referred to tat, aum, sat., etc."
Basically, he divorces Christian scripture from Christian tradition. Nonetheless, I feel like his interpretation is more helpful...
....more help, as in, providing a more universalized, less divisive framework. Since I no longer subscribe to the idea of a 'personal' God (i.e., one with anthropomorphic characteristics with 'His' own feelings, plan, agenda and particular concerns, inserting Himself into world events bound to the finitude of particular times and spaces ) it is nevertheless easier to consider a 'God' that represents the tendency of things to strive for life...
....strive for life, consciousness, and seek happiness. That, for me, is sat chit ananda, simply a principle of harmony and organization which realizes itself ultimately in the expression of these things.
A world without consciousness would be utterly different from a world without one; no consciousness, no discussion, nothing. I intuitively feel that any ontology must regard 'consciousness' as fundamental.
So, I like to think of 'God' acting personally in the sense that all the conscious agents we know of have personality--and when this consciousness appreciates itself (in a broader social context, when humans recognize the essential unity of their existence, when they feel 'connected' one to another) that it does so in a personal, social context; thus, we project personal attributes onto the 'absolute' and there's nothing wrong with doing so...so far as we recognize that....
....so far as we recognize that our mythic image is spawned from our own sense of identity, first. Thus, the best bet (to me) seems to give voice to the most expansive sense of self that we can by choosing our images carefully, and allowing them to evolve as we do.
Anyway, I rarely 'open up' about my views as I've done so here, and would highly respect and appreciate your feedback. I feel as though I don't have a theology conforms to any known labels....
....but might loosely be considered a kind of 'spiritual humanism.' If I seem like a complete kook, fine. I hope for some unbiased evaluation and discussion, and if there's a surefire way to dispel my delusion, I am eager to depart with it.
@Pollther--So now you don't think humans in the womb are entitled to life? I have been "burned" by Christian churches that are just as religious as any "new age" sect. All I have is a relationship with our creator. These people that think you can "advance spiritually" are simply mislead. It's a man made doctrine that plays on your ego. It's about control.
But, surprise! It's always about control; centralizing power, conceded mental territory.
In order to evaluate the 'humans in the womb' issue, you have to consider that 'rights' and 'responsibilities' go hand in hand. A 'human in the womb' has no responsibility, what 'right' can you give it? If the 'rights' of the 'human in the womb' supercede, we end up with absurdities like criminalizing pregnant women who fall down stairs or smoke cigarettes.
I had to ask myself, how can two entities occupying the same physical space be given 'equal rights,' when one is wholly dependant upon the physical systems of the other, even sometimes to the host's detriment. How does the 'human in the womb' apply for individuality? It must be independant, it must stand by itself, intaking its own oxygen, in the space 'outside the womb' that we (individuals) all share.
How does a doctrine that all you have to do is believe lead to control? Everything else is what leads to control. The power elite that run this planet understand this. They are masters of creating different factions, divided into conflict -- chaos. Exposing them is what is worthwhile. They've been working for centuries...building different doctrines.
I have no interest in untested 'belief,' I think asking 'What is real?' is an important question. What, in reality, is a faction?
A group of people who all affirm their group exists and recognize each other as members, sharing their identity--simply a habit of energy and awareness in the body.
In reality, there are no 'Christians,' there are no 'atheists,' there is no 'SRF,' there are no muslims and no hindus, only humans bearing these token signatures.
The philosophy of St. Paul seems to indicate that salvation is a consequence of belief (Rom. 10:8,9, Eph. 2:8, etc.,), which I regard as a collection of thoughts one promises to house and entertain.
I say, distance oneself from these powers. They squander human energy and limit human potential.
Ok, let's say we nix the idea of 'spiritual advancement.'
How is one disempowered by living a directed, focused, simple, self-reliant life, a life of worshipping by wondering? If a person practices solitude and silence for the better part of the day, fasts, reads, writes, prays and sometimes sits still to regulate the breath, who stands to gain from it?
All those things are great. There are those though that have a serious interest in people being complacent and absorbed with themselves. I ask you to apply your mind to researching who they are and help expose them. I also can tell you there is someone inside of me that is not me. I call him the Holy Spirit. It's definitely not just a belief.
funny... If you truly followed this path you would have realised that it is about service to the guru and the world at large, how self centre is that! I too have spent 10 years serving SRF and i am filled daily with endless joy and bliss which in effect has a flow on effect to helping to heal the world. I have met true saints on this path that have attained the goal.. Really Spiritually Advanced. where is your Spiritual advancement that you have to come on here bag another religion!
You thinking your providing a service to the world is just your huge ego talking. If you think you can become spiritually advanced wouldn't that make Mother Teresa the most advanced person that ever lived? I tell you right now you can go coddle dying lepers right now without years of meditation. I'm glad you're in endless joy and bliss. If you truly want to heal the world I have some suggestions because its people like you that are the problem.
Do you think masters in india that sit all day in communion with god are doing no service to the world? im no-where near this level, but changing yourself is very important, as thoughts are vibration and effect every particle of the universe. If you havent had the patience to sit and meditate on these truths Im sorry to hear that. You are right , there are many external way s to heal the world, and how do you know i dont do that already? All the wise say, change yourself & you will change many!
You obviously dont believe in the law of karma, it is redeemer of man. True,it is terrible when people suffer, compassion and help is always needed & i do my bit. Why do some sufffer greater than others? The more i see people advancing on the spiritual path the less they suffer. It is a well known fact the more you turn away from the light the harder it gets, we suffer, and realise, then head back. P. Yogananda sais this world is just a show, painful one at times and thank god it is just a show
QUOTE - "If you truly want to heal the world I have some suggestions because its people like you that are the problem. "
This statement clearly shows your lack of understanding on the principles of creation, preservation & destruction. The law of the universe. This is not our real home. We keep reincarnating until we love god unending & then we merge back into him. Unending bliss & Joy. He is all loving, but has given us a choice, to love him or his gift! This is why we suffer, we choose gift
Q: Do you think masters in India that sit all day in communion with god are doing no service to the world? A: yes
"I'm no-where near this level"--if you learn the jargon and you believe in deception all you got to do is start telling people you are and soon you'll be calling the shots in the million dollar mansion.
"You obviously don't believe in the law of karma"---duh...it's not a law.
Get out of this cult while you still can! I'll be here to help you through.
you're attracted here for a reason. Since you said Christ is your master this is the man who is Christ reincarnation. If you pay attention to his light and his behaviour and ask yourself: is this really Christ that was reborn again? The answer is yes. He's coming frm the lightship where all the original saints came from.
@willoftheoz Only talking about water water water cannot satisfied your Thirst you have to drink it to feel. Kriyayog or Brahmgyan can make you understand all his teaching and Gita as well
SRF Thou art my life, Thou art my love, thou art the teachings which i do seek & follow... SRF is a beautiful organization, guruji is very happy with his chelas.... Do you really know how much good SRF has done? If you follow the SRF teachings you can meet guruji himself in the sanctuary of your soul, why do you hanker over some videos??? Will it really help you?
I had my first experience with Paramhansa Yogananda just last week, he appeared to me in a very lucid dream. I can't describe the love I felt when he hugged me! He is truely a Saint! I don't even practice SRF's teachings so his blessings are not reserved just for SRF members but to all who open their hearts.
there is no excuse for not sharing movies of Master. SRF mission is to share Master with the world, not to keep him for themselves, but people always create excuses to defend the organization
So you don't want to practice the teachings and Lessons but you wanna more movies and criticize Yogananda's organization, yes? Everyone can get to know Yogananda through his foundation SRF, I'm from argentina. There is no excuse to atack anything we don't know.
Who said to you I don't want to practice the teachings and Lessons? Is this what happened to you after practicing - judging others? I just said I wanted to watch the movies of Master, for he is not to be kept in a vault of any organization, you had not the need to criticize me personally.
Ok, surely I made a mistake. But a student shouldn't attack openly his guru's organization. There is a reason for everything. Maybe one day they will show to everybody all the videos of the Master. They released his version of the Gita and the Second Coming more than 40 and 50 years later. He is alive and takes a part in all decisions. But we don't have to wait so many years, we should practice the teachings and get to know him personally. This video was filmed by Daya Mata's brother.
SRF's mission is not sharing videos. It's to lead us to God. SRF shares many things with SRF members, not with everybody. Everybody can join. If you wanna get more from SRF, get the SRF lessons, practice more and more their techniques and get our gurus darshan.
É realmente muito gratificante, contemplar a figura de dois grandes mestres ainda no corpo físico... e poder seguir seus ensinamentos é estar sempre com Eles. Rui
Isnt there enough joy and inspiration from the teachings and what we already have.... In my opinion guruji wants us to go internal, meditate meditate meditate....
I find the images of the gurus uplifting. If you are content with the teachings & the practice & feel that the images of the gurus are no longer necessary for you, why did you watch these 10 seconds of footage? You found it a joy, did you not?
My issue is, if there is more footage, why hide it away and prevent others from enjoying it? If forms are not necessary, why do we have images of gurus on our shrines? Furthermore, one only transcends the attachment to form after reaching the Formless!
Saikriyaji, you are right. In my own personal opinion, I am content with the amount of footage that has been released, and really enjoy going to convocation, or monastic visits when they play other footage not in the public. Its a special time between the brothers & sisters of srf. People cry, people laugh and really feel masters love. For me it would not have the same impact if it could be easily seen on a day to day basis. I guess its up to the monastics, they know whats best. Jaiguru
Increíble video. Agradezco profundamente quie ha puesto este video ya que poder apreciar aunque sea unos instantes la presencia del GUNABATAR MAESTRO SRI YUKTESWARD me ha emocionado hasta las lágrimas. Ser de Luz inconmesurable , Santo amado. Brillará por siempre Tu Luz entre nosotros. Gracias.Laura.
Many years after he left his body, he came to the Convocation. In the flesh, he had a conversation witth a guy out on the sidewalk in front of the hotel.
One of the monks came out and the man said to the monk, "I just met the most wonderful man."
The monk was showing the man around the hotel lobby, and the man saw Yogananda's picture on the cover of Autobiography, and said, "That's the man I was talking to."
I saw Yogananada is vision one time and one time only. My breath was gone and he appeared with the Divine Mother. The Mother looked like Mary, with a white sari, but Her eyes looked like Goddess Durga. She held a blade in Her left hand ( like Kali ) and told me to use more discrimination in my life. Scared the hell out of me! Anyway, yes, the astral realm is very real and close!
Wonderful story about Him appearing at the convocation...
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
Why are you assuming that Vedic religion is limited to Bhagavad-Gita? Srila Prabhupada also mentions verses from other, related texts in his purports to Bhagavad-Gita. The difference is that Prabhupada doesn't water down what Krishna is saying with impersonalist philosophy, whereas Yogananda does.
Why can't you understand simple English? Where did I say that Vedic religion is limited to the Bhagavad Gita? You are accusing Sri Yogananda of adulterating the Bhagavad Gita when in fact it is your stupid spiritual master Prabhupada who keeps on injecting his silly mahamantra cult idea in the purports of his Gita, eventhough the said mahamantra is never mentioned in the Gita. Now, who is guilty of adulterating scripture?The so-called mahamantra cannot be found in any real Vedic scripture.
Jaya SenseiMojo! About the comment u made about Prabhupada.I think u don't have to insult a humble spiritual master because of an offensive comment from a person with little education. Yogananda absolutely does not want to hear it! And Srila Prabhupada never said that the Mahamantra was mentioned in the Gita. It was adopted by Chaitanya Mahaprabhu there 500 years ago. People have the right to choose which philosophical school they will take to reach the Ultimate Truth! Jaya Om Tat Sat __/|\__
ISKCON follower, instead of imposing what you "think" should and should not be said to others and assuming to know what Yogananda wants or doesn't want to hear, you should advice your fellow disciple to quit on his unsolicited preaching activity of your Kali Yuga cult to students and admirers of Premavatar Yogananda's teachings. You people don't have any etiquette. Thank you for admitting that it is Prabhupada who diluted the Gita by injecting a recently-fabricated "mantra" and not Yogananda.
Peace and Respect are valued by Paramahansa Yogananda. You know that. But, in the comments you made about Prabhupada and ISCKON, unfortunately, we can find offensive words. Why you felt the need to use these words? Why do you insult if you don't want to be insulted?
I have only seen the photo until this footage.. and have always wondered who the figure is that stands in the background. ha.. I do not know why I am so curious on such a mystery! Ah..but anyway, thank you for sharing the footage!

@omiswheretheheartis I understand that this was filmed at Sri Yukteswar's(Paramahansa's teacher's) ashram(hermatage) in India in the late 1920's. Sri Yukteswar is standing beside Yogananda(seated). The other people are students of Yuketeswar. The figure standing in the rear appears to be a female and may be Sri Ma(1896-1982).

You say you learned kriya from a real teacher. This is the correct way to learn kriya, from a real guru at the appropriate time. And now you have taken it upon yourself to disseminate the kriya technique to others via the internet. Can i ask, are you a real kriya teacher? Who are you to give this technique? It should be from Guru to a devotee only. Did your real Teacher give you permission to release the technique on the interenet?

Swami Sivananda use to teach the Kriya Technique, sometime after his passing when Swami Chidanandaji for The Divine Life Society in Rishikesh became president, Swamiji stopped teaching the Kriya technique as it is too powerful and problems where happening. It is known that people were getting stuck in the astral plane and not being able to come back into the body. These are some of the risks by taking Kriya Lightly. Dont do it, for your own sake. Follow the right way, by the guru, not false guru

Na, Kriya just seems to cause Polarity and allow the shakti to move up from the base of the spine to Kutashtha Chantya. Nothing magical about that.
nt109 1 year ago
@nt109 All one has to do, is read a bit more about kriya yoga and realize there is alot more to this technique than what you mention above. Yogananda explains it well in chapter 26 of the Autobiography of a Yogi.
You wil find it is very scientific, and extremely magical! It is a powerful technique and the devotee will need guidance by a true guru (whether it be Yogananda or someone else) while they are still engrossed in maya, until they reach the final goal.
ombabaji1 1 year ago
Please be aware of people posting Links to the Kriya Technique, this technique should not be messed with and needs proper guidance of the preliminary techniques for about 1 year followed by (if it is right for you) a Guru Disciple eternal connection (Diksha initiation).

@ombabaji1
Those who want to practice it will, those who wont wont. I learned Kriya from a real teacher actually. No one OWNS kriya. SRF doesn't own kriya, Some guru sitting on a pedestal doesn't own kriya, Who are you to say? Those who want to seek that path will practice it.
nt109 1 year ago
@nt109 Is there nothing sacred anymore?? There is an old saying easy come, easy go! Can u tell me how many people that you have given this technique too, will be still doing in 10 or 20 years? I can guarantee when there egos get ruffled by maya and they havent got a true satguru to inwardly tune in to and recieve guidance they will fall away. SRF doesnt own Kriya, i didnt say they did, however they have a true guru at the helm, which is why it has stood the test of time.

msgroovytwoshoes 1 year ago
@msgroovytwoshoes Any of the other(numerous!) works by Yogananda. Start with "Man's Eternal Quest"(I'm currently reading- although it's a bit "deep"); "Journey To Self Realization"(my next project), and "The Divine Romance". There's much more than this. You can find them on Amazon & Ebay, or possibly Barnes & Noble. Happy reading!

sriduniv 1 year ago
@sriduniv Dear Sriduniv, Kriya yoga is not something to be taken lightly, or to be done with out the preliminary techniques as taught in the self realization lessons. Paramahansa gave these lessons for good reason, the lessons are to prepare your body, mind and soul for the higher initiation (guru diksha) and the kriya technique. NT109's comments are a typical mentality of a westerner, wants every thing now.. instead of having patience and taking time to set a rock solid foundation on the path

Wow. That was great! I am a Kriyaban, via Shankarananda Giri of Orissa. I am not qualified to be a teacher, but I am qualified to say that Kriya works. Been doing it for 12 years now. It is a fantastic practice. Sri Yukteswar had many disciples, not just Yogananda, who became popular in the west. Many of them remained secretive, and did not start big organizations. You can find them and their disciples if you go to India and seek them out.

I'm so thankful to have discovered this rare footage- something told me to search "Yogananda" here on youtube. I discovered his works about 3 years ago("Autobiography Of A Yogi"/"Man's Eternal Quest") and was simply BLOWN AWAY by what I was reading. The ENIGMA is that an Indian spritural teacher came to this country in the early 20th century to teach true Christian principals to a "Christian" nation. The light of his smile way truly beautiful.

When you have a guru avatar such as Paramhansa Yogananda and a paramguru such a Sri Yukteswar, egos will get ruffled on the path. So common. If you follow gurujis teachings & only take in the positive life is sweet. Most people who leave is due to politics which is in all organizations, there ego just cannot take it... no easy path, never the less the teachings & guru is truth.
ombabaji1 1 year ago
You have the lingo down very well. You will be an excellent candidate for leadership. Keep going down "the path"--- the sooner you realize you have to sellout, the faster you will advance. Get out now! It's your huge ego that's telling you you're "spiritually advanced". Have you lost all ability to reason?

who said anything about spiritualy advanced? If anything my huge ego that once was, has deminished over the years, and now feel more loving, sharing and happy now than ever before. It may not be the path for you, but for many who love Guruji & SRF it is everything. Im sorry to hear you feel the way you do, and thats fine, you have your journey. Good luck, but show some respect to others by allowing them to make decisions for themselves.
ombabaji1 1 year ago
I have a few questions i would love a direct yes or no answer if you can....How long where you with SRF? Did you practice the teachings as recommended by the guru daily with faith & devotion? Did you introduce any other teachings or where influenced by other paths in the time you were with SRF?
ombabaji1 1 year ago
I can point out several ways that your ability to reason or use logic is gone. I'm trying to help you. Your mind is turning to mush. You have no concept of what is happening on this earth. The only thing you're ever going to do is help turn other minds to mush, exactly what the NWO wants. You prove to be a valiant defender of your doctrine, indeed a candidate for leadership.
philoplatt 1 year ago
Your inability to answer some simple questions shows that you are avoiding the fact that you didnt give it your all when in SRF, when you didnt get the results of peace and bliss you where after you went sour, hence your reason for feeling resentment, anger & a need to critisize SRF. Good luck to you. In fact it wouldnt surprise me if you werent in SRF and you from a cult like Scentology where you try and think you can help by telling people there mind is turning to mush! lol nice try
ombabaji1 1 year ago
I never said I was In SRF. Yogananda had disciples not part of SRF teaching pretty much the same thing. Obviously you're going to try to tell me SRF has some mystery that is not revealed to anyone else. If you can say "diminishing" not "advancing"-- Thanks for the laugh! Your ego is bigger than when you started. Scientology---another cult that thinks you "advance spiritually". Spend that time in "meditation" researching instead lazy.

I've studied the Bible, cover-to-cover. I used to be a fundamentalist Christian, an abortion-hating, pro-life Calvinist Christian. Studied Calvin, Spurgeon, A. W. Pink, Warfield, etc.,
Really, the only outcome of my 'practice' ended with my hating my neighbor and doubting the goodness in life. Asking Jesus into my 'heart' was not transformative, no matter how many times I did so, no matter how broken a 'sinner' I felt.
I have no interest in returning to fundamentalism.
Pollther 1 year ago
@Pollther
I realize that Yogananda misrepresents the historical interpretation of the Bible. Centuries upon a millenium of debate about the nature of 'The Trinity' and burning heretics and elaborate systematic theologies--and Yogananda comes by in five seconds to say, "Oh, my spiritual insight says the Holy Trinity referred to tat, aum, sat., etc."
Basically, he divorces Christian scripture from Christian tradition. Nonetheless, I feel like his interpretation is more helpful...
Pollther 1 year ago
cont'd...
....more help, as in, providing a more universalized, less divisive framework. Since I no longer subscribe to the idea of a 'personal' God (i.e., one with anthropomorphic characteristics with 'His' own feelings, plan, agenda and particular concerns, inserting Himself into world events bound to the finitude of particular times and spaces ) it is nevertheless easier to consider a 'God' that represents the tendency of things to strive for life...
Pollther 1 year ago
cont'd...
....strive for life, consciousness, and seek happiness. That, for me, is sat chit ananda, simply a principle of harmony and organization which realizes itself ultimately in the expression of these things.
A world without consciousness would be utterly different from a world without one; no consciousness, no discussion, nothing. I intuitively feel that any ontology must regard 'consciousness' as fundamental.
Pollther 1 year ago
cont'd
So, I like to think of 'God' acting personally in the sense that all the conscious agents we know of have personality--and when this consciousness appreciates itself (in a broader social context, when humans recognize the essential unity of their existence, when they feel 'connected' one to another) that it does so in a personal, social context; thus, we project personal attributes onto the 'absolute' and there's nothing wrong with doing so...so far as we recognize that....
Pollther 1 year ago

....so far as we recognize that our mythic image is spawned from our own sense of identity, first. Thus, the best bet (to me) seems to give voice to the most expansive sense of self that we can by choosing our images carefully, and allowing them to evolve as we do.
Anyway, I rarely 'open up' about my views as I've done so here, and would highly respect and appreciate your feedback. I feel as though I don't have a theology conforms to any known labels....

@Pollther--So now you don't think humans in the womb are entitled to life? I have been "burned" by Christian churches that are just as religious as any "new age" sect. All I have is a relationship with our creator. These people that think you can "advance spiritually" are simply mislead. It's a man made doctrine that plays on your ego. It's about control.
philoplatt 1 year ago
@philoplatt
But, surprise! It's always about control; centralizing power, conceded mental territory.
In order to evaluate the 'humans in the womb' issue, you have to consider that 'rights' and 'responsibilities' go hand in hand. A 'human in the womb' has no responsibility, what 'right' can you give it? If the 'rights' of the 'human in the womb' supercede, we end up with absurdities like criminalizing pregnant women who fall down stairs or smoke cigarettes.
Pollther 1 year ago
I had to ask myself, how can two entities occupying the same physical space be given 'equal rights,' when one is wholly dependant upon the physical systems of the other, even sometimes to the host's detriment. How does the 'human in the womb' apply for individuality? It must be independant, it must stand by itself, intaking its own oxygen, in the space 'outside the womb' that we (individuals) all share.
Pollther 1 year ago
How does a doctrine that all you have to do is believe lead to control? Everything else is what leads to control. The power elite that run this planet understand this. They are masters of creating different factions, divided into conflict -- chaos. Exposing them is what is worthwhile. They've been working for centuries...building different doctrines.
philoplatt 1 year ago
@philoplatt
I have no interest in untested 'belief,' I think asking 'What is real?' is an important question. What, in reality, is a faction?
A group of people who all affirm their group exists and recognize each other as members, sharing their identity--simply a habit of energy and awareness in the body.
In reality, there are no 'Christians,' there are no 'atheists,' there is no 'SRF,' there are no muslims and no hindus, only humans bearing these token signatures.
Pollther 1 year ago
@philoplatt
The philosophy of St. Paul seems to indicate that salvation is a consequence of belief (Rom. 10:8,9, Eph. 2:8, etc.,), which I regard as a collection of thoughts one promises to house and entertain.
I say, distance oneself from these powers. They squander human energy and limit human potential.
Pollther 1 year ago
Ok, let's say we nix the idea of 'spiritual advancement.'
How is one disempowered by living a directed, focused, simple, self-reliant life, a life of worshipping by wondering? If a person practices solitude and silence for the better part of the day, fasts, reads, writes, prays and sometimes sits still to regulate the breath, who stands to gain from it?
Pollther 1 year ago
All those things are great. There are those though that have a serious interest in people being complacent and absorbed with themselves. I ask you to apply your mind to researching who they are and help expose them. I also can tell you there is someone inside of me that is not me. I call him the Holy Spirit. It's definitely not just a belief.

This statement clearly shows your lack of understanding on the principles of creation, preservation & destruction. The law of the universe. This is not our real home. We keep reincarnating until we love god unending & then we merge back into him. Unending bliss & Joy. He is all loving, but has given us a choice, to love him or his gift!

adilson1893 2 years ago
Ok, surely I made a mistake. But a student shouldn't attack openly his guru's organization. There is a reason for everything. Maybe one day they will show to everybody all the videos of the Master. They released his version of the Gita and the Second Coming more than 40 and 50 years later. He is alive and takes a part in all decisions. But we don't have to wait so many years, we should practice the teachings and get to know him personally. This video was filmed by Daya Mata's brother.

I find the images of the gurus uplifting. If you are content with the teachings & the practice & feel that the images of the gurus are no longer necessary for you, why did you watch these 10 seconds of footage? You found it a joy, did you not?
My issue is, if there is more footage, why hide it away and prevent others from enjoying it? If forms are not necessary, why do we have images of gurus on our shrines? Furthermore, one only transcends the attachment to form after reaching the Formless!

Saikriyaji, you are right. In my own personal opinion, I am content with the amount of footage that has been released, and really enjoy going to convocation, or monastic visits when they play other footage not in the public. Its a special time between the brothers & sisters of srf. People cry, people laugh and really feel masters love.

May those who are uninitiated in Kriya Yoga visit Paramahansaji's grave?
ShadySidebury 3 years ago
Yes! In fact, it's encouraged. I am a member, but haven't completed my lessons.
Recently I did visit Master's grave. I'll never forget it.
Please do visit Him at Forrest Lawn/Glendale as soon as you can. :)

When a holy man dies and is buried, his place of burial is called his "samadhi" -- not grave. "Grave" is for ordinary materialistic man.

Is there more footage? Surely there must be more than 10 seconds. Would SRF have the complete film?

I visited Master's grave today in Glendale. I cried when I saw his crypt. I cried for sorrow that he is no longer with us in the flesh.
I wept for joy that such an amazing soul once walked among us. And, knowing that he still resides within us when we embrace his teachings.
Om peace to all.

Many years after he left his body, he came to the Convocation. In the flesh, he had a conversation witth a guy out on the sidewalk in front of the hotel.
One of the monks came out and the man said to the monk, "I just met the most wonderful man."
The monk was showing the man around the hotel lobby, and the man saw Yogananda's picture on the cover of Autobiography, and said, "That's the man I was talking to."
Don't think he's not here.

Dearest Bill,
What an amazing post you shared. I agree, the Master IS still with us.
I'd never heard that story before, but I totally believe it!
Blessings to you! :)

I saw Yogananada is vision one time and one time only. My breath was gone and he appeared with the Divine Mother. The Mother looked like Mary, with a white sari, but Her eyes looked like Goddess Durga. She held a blade in Her left hand ( like Kali ) and told me to use more discrimination in my life. Scared the hell out of me! Anyway, yes, the astral realm is very real and close!
Wonderful story about Him appearing at the convocation...

Why are you assuming that Vedic religion is limited to Bhagavad-Gita? Srila Prabhupada also mentions verses from other, related texts in his purports to Bhagavad-Gita. The difference is that Prabhupada doesn't water down what Krishna is saying with impersonalist philosophy, whereas Yogananda does.

Why can't you understand simple English? Where did I say that Vedic religion is limited to the Bhagavad Gita? You are accusing Sri Yogananda of adulterating the Bhagavad Gita when in fact it is your stupid spiritual master Prabhupada who keeps on injecting his silly mahamantra cult idea in the purports of his Gita, eventhough the said mahamantra is never mentioned in the Gita. Now, who is guilty of adulterating scripture?The so-called mahamantra cannot be found in any real Vedic scripture.

Jaya SenseiMojo! About the comment u made about Prabhupada.I think u don't have to insult a humble spiritual master because of an offensive comment from a person with little education. Yogananda absolutely does not want to hear it! And Srila Prabhupada never said that the Mahamantra was mentioned in the Gita. It was adopted by Chaitanya Mahaprabhu there 500 years ago. People have the right to choose which philosophical school they will take to reach the Ultimate Truth! Jaya Om Tat Sat __/|\__

ISKCON follower, instead of imposing what you "think" should and should not be said to others and assuming to know what Yogananda wants or doesn't want to hear, you should advice your fellow disciple to quit on his unsolicited preaching activity of your Kali Yuga cult to students and admirers of Premavatar Yogananda's teachings. You people don't have any etiquette. Thank you for admitting that it is Prabhupada who diluted the Gita by injecting a recently-fabricated "mantra" and not Yogananda.
SenseiMojo 3 years ago
Peace and Respect are valued by Paramahansa Yogananda. You know that. But, in the comments you made about Prabhupada and ISCKON, unfortunately, we can find offensive words. Why you felt the need to use these words? Why do you insult if you don't want to be insulted?
