"Why Did God Create Us?" - The Essence of the Bhagavad Gita with Swami Kriyananda

Part 40 - Chapter 2, Stanza 17. http://www.crystalclarity.com/product.php?code=BEBPB The Essence of the Bhagavad Gita Explained by Paramhansa Yogananda as remembered by his disciple, Swami Kriyananda. This book shares the profound insights of Paramhansa Yogananda, author of Autobiography of a Yogi, as remembered by one of his few remaining direct disciples, Swami Kriyananda.

This revelation of India's best-loved scripture approaches it from an entirely fresh perspective, showing its deep allegorical meaning and also its down-to-earth practicality. The themes presented are universal: how to achieve victory in life in union with the divine; how to prepare for life's "final exam," death, and what happens afterward; how to triumph over all pain and suffering.

Swami Kriyananda worked with Paramhansa Yogananda in 1950 while the Master completed his commentary of the Bhagavad Gita. At that time Yogananda commissioned him to disseminate his teachings world-wide. Kriyananda has in his lifetime lectured, taught, and written over one hundred books based on Yogananda's teachings.

The Essence of the Bhagavad Gita is available from Crystal Clarity Publishers.

Beautifully said!

great thanks for sharing the divine

[Etsihcrana]

This was a very good sermon, and you are a very wise man, thus I appreciate your sharing of wisdom. I am a new believer, having recently denied myself, taken up the cross, and made the decision to follow Christ. Though the words I use to describe God are different from the words you use, the basic truths you share are the same as those taught by Jesus. God will touch the hearts of those who let him. Peace be with you brother, and may you achieve the purpose you've been given!

Liked your unaswered question! If everthing will go back into God eventually then doesn't that make the search a little less apealing? what happens when we are all free-are there an infinate number of souls? what makes us fall from divine union at first as it seems like an unwise choice! Do the spiritual worlds dissolve as well or just the 7 heavens and the 7 hells?

I look forward to your talks. Thanks again, and take care!
