Paramahansa Yogananda on Autobiography of a Yogi

Yogoda Satsanga Society of India

Nov - Dec, 2016

Welcome to the November-December 2016 edition of the Yogoda Satsanga Society of India eNewsletter. In this edition we honour the 70th anniversary of the publication of the spiritual classic Autobiography of a Yogi.

Paramahansa Yogananda on
Autobiography of a Yogi

When I have left this world, this book will change the lives of millions. It will be my messenger when I am gone.

I have been intensely moved to receive letters from thousands of readers. Their comments, and the fact that the book has been translated into many languages, encourages me to believe that the West has found in these pages an affirmative answer to the question: "Has the ancient science of yoga any worthwhile place in the life of the modern man?"

“Sir, what passage in Autobiography of a Yogi do you consider the most inspiring for the average man?” a student asked. The Master reflected for a while, then said:
“These words of my guru, Sri Yukteswar: ‘Forget the past. Human conduct is ever unreliable until man is anchored in the Divine. Everything in future will improve if you are making a spiritual effort now.’”

We invite you to read more about the history and influence of this spiritual classic, including fascinating accounts from direct disciples of Paramahansa Yogananda

A Christmas Message From Sri Sri Mrinalini Mata

At the holy season of Christmas, the whole world is blessed more tangibly with the radiant love and joy of the Infinite Christ that suffuses all creation. I pray it may illumine your life with renewed hope, and with faith in the potency of God's goodness and love, which is ever exerting its uplifting, harmonizing influence upon receptive hearts. May our joyous celebration of the birth of Jesus, in whom the universal Christ Consciousness was fully manifested, rouse in us all the realization that we too are born of God's light, endowed with the capacity to reflect His limitless consciousness and power of love in this world.

We are happy to announce that, in 2017, the Janmotsav celebrations in the honour of our blessed Gurudeva Sri Sri Paramahansa Yogananda, will be held simultaneously at Hyderabad and Mumbai from January 5 – 8, and at Dakshineswar from January 1–5.
