Original Teachings of Swami Yogananda - Vol.1 (Praecepta Step 1 to 3 - Lessons 1 to 77)

Description

Evidences of Praeceptas that it has came from Master Himself !

God dedicated truths which Swami Yogananda writes as fast as he receives them from the Infinite.

I am organizing a correspondence course here, exactly like ours. Dick is working hard setting up the correspondence course of Praecepta Lessons like that in America. (1934)

An immortal work has been done. Besides, all our members, and specially real seekers, who cannot come in touch with me personally, unanimously agree how well pleased they are with the Lessons. I know from my experience in Europe and India that my Lessons are visible proof of the spreading of Lahari Mahasaya’s teachings.

Lectures evaporate from the minds of the many – but written Lessons stand as permanent proof of the depths and practicality of a teaching. We should never abandon the system of Lessons; that’s the only way of keeping our people steadily going on in this path.

This was one of my great wishes fulfilled. We will immortalize the work in the Praecepta. Those that are thirsty would come to me or drink from my written teachings impregnated from my soul’s perception.

There are thousands of testimonials about these weekly Heaven-uplifting instructions. They are all spiritual techniques which can be put into practice for step-by-step development in attaining God through Self-Realization.

About the Author

Paramhansa Yogananda was born as Mukund Lal Ghosh, on January 5, 1893 in Gorakhpur, India. Also Known as Swami Yogananda, until His Guru "SriYukteshwar Giri" gave him degree of "Paramhansa" in the year 1936. He was the first yoga master of India to permanently live and teach in the West. Yogananda arrived in America in 1920, and travelled throughout the United States on what he called his 'spiritual campaigns' to teach the Science of Kriya Yoga. His enthusiastic audiences filled the largest halls in America. Hundreds of thousands came to see the yogi from India. His teachings include the path of Kriya Yoga, which Yogananda called the 'Jet-Airplane' route to God, consisting of ancient yoga techniques to hasten the spiritual evolution of the disciple. He continued to lecture and write up to his passing (Maha-Samadhi) in 1952

Yogananda's initial impact was truly impressive. But his lasting impact has been even greater. Yogananda's Autobiography of a Yogi, first published in 1946, helped launch a spiritual revolution throughout the world. His message was non-sectarian and universal. Yogananda's Guru, Swami Sri Yukteswarji, sent him to the West with the admonition, "The West is high in material attainments, but lacking in spiritual understanding. It is God's will that you play a role in teaching mankind the value of balancing the material with an inner, spiritual life." Yogananda brought clarity to hundreds of thousands of people regarding the ancient teachings of India - previously shrouded in the cultural assumptions and terminology of an era long past.

"The true basis of religion is not belief, but intuitive experience. Intuition is the soul's power of knowing God. To know what religion is really all about, one must know God." He further wrote that "Self- Realization is the knowing in all parts of body, mind, and soul that you are now in possession of the kingdom of God; that you do not have to pray that it come to you; that God's omnipresence is your omnipresence; and that all that you need to do is improve your knowing."
