...Jesus was most definitely a 'nature boy' too.... He calmed the waves & the storm... what more awesome evidence would you need... than to see that the elements themselves responded to his command... if you had seen this display of mastery? He, ~Jesus~, told us we could do the same & more ... He also said... "The Kingdom of God is within you"
....Compassion, wise stewardship & raising of the Kundalini, transcending Karma & Reincarnation.... and "How to LOVE (God ... & god or the divine within others)and be LOVED (by God) in return...." Is there anything more important than that one simple statement? "The Autobiography of A Yogi" will fill in the rest of the blanks.
...he wandered very far over land & sea to a new land... America, to teach us about the eternal Truths & secrets of the Universe, the Divine Mother as well as the Father & the All~Wise, All~Seeing God hidden as a bud inside each one of us... waiting for aeons to burst open & blossom forth... Truths known & taught by the Sages of India, Tibet & the mystics of the Near & Far East for millennia... now shared by Yogananda with us. "When the chela (student) is ready the Guru (teacher) appears..."
Eden Ahbez was a small, delicately built man. He told me that when he visited Yogananda in Encinitas, the Master asked him to "come sit on my lap". And when
Eden did so, Yougananda spoke to the disciples in the room and said,"You are looking at a man who has no earthly karma left." Then, Eden continued, "I don't know how that could be, because sometimes, my life is so full of pain". And yet,
he went on to say, he fully believed it to be true because it was spoken by Yogananda.
This video is very sensitively done, David is a grammy award winner, and this was done very hauntingly, very beautifully, by someone who is an old pro. It is not easy to pay tribute to such a great one as Sri Paramahansa Yogananda, but this rendition moves the soul.
Awesome! Thank you, David as this song has touched me since I was a small child and my father would sing it to me.
No matter whom it was written about, Guruji or not, it still is so wonderfully and hauntingly beautiful. It shall always have a special place in my heart and soul! Thank you for your rendition.
This video creation is beautiful. . .Paramahansa Yogananda is beautiful. . .but it is untrue that "Nature Boy" was written about him. Songwriter eden ahbez wrote this about himself and his son. He was, for many years, a member of a group called "Nature Boys" in Los Angeles (Gypsy Boots was also a member and people used to say the song was about him—wrong!).
Such beautiful creations do not need false stories to impress us with their beauty. They stand alone, as does the Guru.
Would you please tell me where to find the source of your information in which Eden Ahbez says the song was autobiographical? I'd like to check it out. Thanks.
