Paramahansa Yogananda
From Babaji and Jesus to Lahiri Mahasaya and then to Swami Sri Yukteswar, Paramahansa Yogananda was given the tremendous task of disseminating Kriya Yoga to the West, indeed to the whole world. Though he left his body in 1952, he continues to lead countless souls into ever-deepening levels of God-communion. Yogananda is very present to all sincere devotees. From personal experience, I can attest to the power of his grace-filled presence. He is and will forever be the Sat-Guru of the Assisi Institute. Yogananda’s blessing inspires us in every way, and his teachings are a perfect guide for modern men and women who desire to know God intimately. It should be noted that shortly before he left his body, Yogananda said that he was the last guru in the Kriya lineage. There are and will be inspired teachers to represent our lineage, but no more gurus.
Guruji,
You told us,
“If you think me near,
I am near.”
