Video of Paramahansa Yogananda with the song "Nature Boy", which allegedly was written about him (by Eden Ahbez), performed by the World Jazz group "Dharma Buds" (David Vito Gregoli and David Joyce).
...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 is a sensitive and delicate but powerful rendition of a pretty well known song.
This is just so dreamy... The video transforms us into many other places in the world. Just beautiful.... thanks DharmaBuds!
