Dear Friends,

 

On the auspicious occasion of Diwali, I wish to present a gift to all

Members of this

Forum .Please visit the link given below to read the book

"Autobiography of a Yogi"

This book is for all whether Hindu,Moslem or Catholic.

every one will benefit from the same.

 

http://www.anandaindia.org/freeonline/books/ay/contents.html

 

The Essence of this Book in a small extract from Chapter 26.

"The astral system of a human being, with six (twelve by polarity)

inner constellations revolving around the sun of the omniscient

spiritual eye, is interrelated with the physical sun and the twelve

zodiacal signs. All men are thus affected by an inner and an outer

universe. The ancient rishis discovered that man's earthly and

heavenly environment, in twelve-year cycles, push him forward on his

natural path. The scriptures aver that man requires a million years

of normal, diseaseless evolution to perfect his human brain

sufficiently to express cosmic consciousness.

One thousand Kriya practiced in eight hours gives the yogi, in one

day, the equivalent of one thousand years of natural evolution:

365,000 years of evolution in one year. In three years, a Kriya Yogi

can thus accomplish by intelligent self-effort the same result which

nature brings to pass in a million years. The Kriya short cut, of

course, can be taken only by deeply developed yogis. With the

guidance of a guru, such yogis have carefully prepared their bodies

and brains to receive the power created by intensive practice.

 

The Kriya beginner employs his yogic exercise only fourteen to twenty-

eight times, twice daily. A number of yogis achieve emancipation in

six or twelve or twenty-four or forty-eight years. A yogi who dies

before achieving full realization carries with him the good karma of

his past Kriya effort; in his new life he is harmoniously propelled

toward his Infinite Goal. "

Thanks Bhaskar.....trust you have not only read this book but also joined

the YSS-Ranchi for regular study lessons. I read this book while I was

in 9th standard.....and changed my life since then......also a member of

YSS......an excellent MUST book for aspiring astrologers or members inclined

in spirituality.....there are many things written in this book.....for a

healthy discussion ....should anyone of you interested .....kindly mail be

privately / offline.....for it is now more than 25-28 years that i read this

book and every word & lines are still afresh in my mind......( in true

meaning of assimilation.....)...there are some interesting events which an

advanced or experienced astrologer might likely to do research on.....for it

indirectly relates to Indian renaisance and current history....

 

Example :

Year 1893 Sri Swami Vivekanandji gave his famous Chicago address at

World's Parliament of Religions ( 27th Sept. 1983)

Year 1893 Sri Parmahansa Yoganandaji was born 05th Jan 1893

Year 1902 Sri Parmahansa Yoganandaji...fell ill ( age of 8+ yrs due

to cholera - Chapter One)

Year 1902 Sri Swami Vivekanandji was preparing himself for his

mahasamdhi at Kanyakumari....( 4th July 1902 was the mahasamadhi day )

( there was a brief of illness prior to his

identifying the place Kanyakumari....etc...)

Year 1893-94 Sri Swami Vivekanandji meets Margaret Elizabeth Noble at her

death bed......gives her new life......on a personal promise of serving

humanity....

later she is given the name of Sister Nivedita....in

1896-97.....( 25th March 1898 )....Sister Nivedita was born in Ireland

20th October 1867

passed away on 13th Oct. 1911.

People who are interested in much more metaphysics

or communication in spiritual world....must read.....Memoirs of Cheiro ( the

famous palmist)

who foretold the death of Margaret Elizabeth Noble

and how it became true and how it was nullified by Swami Vivekanand's

spiritual power....

It is this Sister Nivedita....who later groomed the

famous enigmatic freedom fighter of India....Mr. Gosh to Sri Aurobindo Gosh

of Pondicherry

Infact 15th August also happens to be Sri

Aurobindo's birthday......

Read through the book "Autobiography of a Yogi " to

reveal in between words....how Sri Swami Vivekanand knew of Sri Yogananda's

coming

to United States of America

It is more akin to Moses ( Sri Swami Vivekanand )

of famous Ten Commandments, prophesing on Jesus Christ ( Sri Paramahansa

Yogananda )

There are many more things.....but better discussed private than in lists

.....unless others willing......trust this would incite some healthy

discussions.......thanks to Mr. Bhaskar.....

 

with regards,

sreeram srinivas

Dear Sreeramji,

 

Yes I have read the Book 3-4 times in last 15 years. I am also

member of Ranchi-YSS.

Swami Vivekanandji certainly knew about Yoganandas coming, which

he told a devotee clearly, describing about Yogananda to the

devotee and what gift he would recieve from Yogananda.

I have read this in one of Swamijis biographies, which one I dont

remember (Probably one purchased from Rameswaram or Gandhi ashram,I

dont remember). Because all this reading I did 10 years back.

I have read Cheiros autobiography but not 'Memoirs'

 

It is a pleasure to know You through this Forum.

 

regards,

Bhaskar.

Dear Mrs.Wendy,

 

I obtained my first copy in 1985.

I too have gifted this Book to a few.

And since last few years never had the time to re-read it.

If one has 3 things in life one has all. Good health,good

wealth and good time. Most of us have either or all of

these,less in our lives.

There was another Volume published by YSS. The Bhagavad Gita.

Here the author ParamHansa Yogananda attunes his mind

telephatically with Lord Krishna, Ved Vyasa and Arjun,

and then pens the meaning/translation as actually Krishna

meant it. That is the best reading in this world.

Do read it whenever You have the time. Do not think that

it is the Bible of the Hindus so one should not read.

This particular set of Bahagavad Gita is a scientific

book with descriptions of the gross physical body, ehtereal

body and the astral skies and description of all the planes

of existence above us, plus so many other secrets of the

Universe which normally one would never know from anywhere

but only through a Yogi.

 

One English lady wanted to read this Book, I had suggested

her through one of the Forums. I thought why not let others

also see the link. If at least 10 readers are able to make

their life better through this, then I am blessed in small

measures.

 

regards,

Bhaskar.

Dear Bhaskar,

 

Did you know there is a copy of the Gita on JyotishVidya.com. It can be

viewed here: http://jyotishvidya.com/gita1.htm

 

I have read several publications over the years and keep a pocket-sized copy

(from the 'International Gita Society') in my handbag... signed by the

author, Ramananda Prasad, Ph.D.

 

I also have Maharishi Mahesh Yogi's translation and commentary on audio

cassettes which I enjoy very much: http://mumpress.com/p_l41.html

 

Best Wishes,

Mrs. Wendy

Re: DIWALI GIFT

 

 

Dear Mrs.Wendy,

 

I obtained my first copy in 1985.

I too have gifted this Book to a few.

And since last few years never had the time to re-read it.

If one has 3 things in life one has all. Good health,good

wealth and good time. Most of us have either or all of

these,less in our lives.

There was another Volume published by YSS. The Bhagavad Gita.

Here the author ParamHansa Yogananda attunes his mind

telephatically with Lord Krishna, Ved Vyasa and Arjun,

and then pens the meaning/translation as actually Krishna

meant it. That is the best reading in this world.

Do read it whenever You have the time. Do not think that

it is the Bible of the Hindus so one should not read.

This particular set of Bahagavad Gita is a scientific

book with descriptions of the gross physical body, ehtereal

body and the astral skies and description of all the planes

of existence above us, plus so many other secrets of the

Universe which normally one would never know from anywhere

but only through a Yogi.

 

One English lady wanted to read this Book, I had suggested

her through one of the Forums. I thought why not let others

also see the link. If at least 10 readers are able to make

their life better through this, then I am blessed in small

measures.

 

regards,

Bhaskar.

Dear Mrs.Wendy,

 

That is great to hear. I have read a few translations among them one

by Shri parbhupad founder of ISCKON, and another by Gita

press,Gorakhpur India. The one I was talking of, ie.by

Paramhansa Yogananda is different in the sense that here the author

has connected his mind by a Yogic Kriya with the Speaker

Lord Krishna himself and the listener Arjuna himself (AS they are

still there in Spirit)and thus able to give the readers the exact

purport what was meant to be said and understood by

the sayer and listener both.No meanings as understood by a normal

human being have been presented in this translation ,no

interpretations made by self analysis, but the exact truth as

supposed to be is only mentioned.

 

Whenevr You have the time, please get one copy of 2 Volumes, or else,

if not available I will be pleased to present You the same.

 

regards,

Bhaskar.

dear bhaskar

i saved your mail the other day as i wanted to read in leisure.

i found some time to do now.

i realised that today is the true deepavali day for me.

i have read 5 chapters from this divine book which i have never ever had the chance to set my eyes upon.

i had read many times the lives and teachings of swami vivekananda but not swami yogananda so far.

my teacher gopal used to mention a certain swami yogananda often and i wonder whether it is this same person.

words of thanks to you will not suffice what i felt while reading those 5 chapters.

i am glad you shared something very spiritual on the festival of lights. may the divine light spread far and wide and deep to awaken the positive and god in us all.

thank you ever so much.

Dear Friends,

 

On the auspicious occasion of Diwali, I wish to present a gift to all

Members of this

"Autobiography of a Yogi"

This book is for all whether Hindu,Moslem or Catholic.

every one will benefit from the same.

 

http://www.anandaindia.org/freeonline/books/ay/contents.html

 

The Essence of this Book in a small extract from Chapter 26.

"The astral system of a human being, with six (twelve by polarity)

inner constellations revolving around the sun of the omniscient

spiritual eye, is interrelated with the physical sun and the twelve

zodiacal signs. All men are thus affected by an inner and an outer

universe. The ancient rishis discovered that man's earthly and

heavenly environment, in twelve-year cycles, push him forward on his

natural path. The scriptures aver that man requires a million years

of normal, diseaseless evolution to perfect his human brain

sufficiently to express cosmic consciousness.

One thousand Kriya practiced in eight hours gives the yogi, in one

day, the equivalent of one thousand years of natural evolution:

365,000 years of evolution in one year. In three years, a Kriya Yogi

can thus accomplish by intelligent self-effort the same result which

nature brings to pass in a million years. The Kriya short cut, of

course, can be taken only by deeply developed yogis. With the

guidance of a guru, such yogis have carefully prepared their bodies

and brains to receive the power created by intensive practice.

 

The Kriya beginner employs his yogic exercise only fourteen to twenty-

eight times, twice daily. A number of yogis achieve emancipation in

six or twelve or twenty-four or forty-eight years. A yogi who dies

before achieving full realization carries with him the good karma of

his past Kriya effort; in his new life he is harmoniously propelled

toward his Infinite Goal. "

Dear MahaLakshmiji,

 

You are very fortunate to be able to read this Book.

Not all those who stay near the pure Ganges get opportunity

or inclination to have a dip daily morning in the Holy Water.

neither all those who have spent whole their life at Kashi

remain there when their last breath comes,to attain Mukti.

You and me and many others have been fortunate to go through

this spiritrual adventure just like a story book, but full of

real miracles and not fantasy.

I remember that when I first purchased this book at some

railway station , where I had gone to see someone off,

once I started this book, I could not sit back without

finishing it. That was 15 years back. And after that

I have re-read it many times. Though I may not be a good student,

but at least Photo of ParamHansa Yogananda adorns the wall of my

Room where I sit for the major part of the day.That way I am

unable to forget him and feel safe under his secure Gaze.

 

Thank You for reverting back and making my efforts a success.

 

regards,

Bhaskar.

dear bhaskar

i am yet to finish the e-book. but i will do it in a day or two as i am comparatively free now.

after i saw hardwar and rishikesh in 2003 just by chance upon the insistence of my sister-in-law who used to live in delhi things have not been the same with me. the sight of the mountains and the ganges flowing, the idols of shiv, all keep coming back time and again. i feel i am there many times. my wish is to make it to manasarovar some day, but i have seen a dvd from the rk math and i felt the divinity of the place. when i read about the yogi and his obsession with hardwar i could understand. i am a samsaari and i know i cannot reach even .00001 % in terms of gyan of these yogis yet i enjoy when i read about these spiritual greats of india.

yes you are right about people staying in these holy places not fully knowing what they are missing. perhaps its the close proximity which makes us take things and people for granted.

i was meant to read about this great yogi only now while you and sreeram were lucky to read the same 15 years back itself.

take care

mahalakshmi
