Swami Yogananda's East - West Magazines (Vol.21-2 thru Vol.25-6) [September 1949 to June 1954]

My blessings to all my students. I will talk to you all thru the columns of this magazine, and remember you each morning in my seven o'clock prayer, that you may persevere in your practice and know the supreme joy of absolute spiritual realization.

Swami Yogananda—with students who attended his class in Los Angeles on the science of Kriya Yoga, January 30, 1925. A newspaper account of his public lectures earlier that week in Los Angeles' Philharmonic Auditorium reported:

"The Philharmonic lobby looked like the New York subway Times Square station in the evening rush. By six-thirty every seat within the huge auditorium had been taken. Outside the total number drawn by the event was swelled to an easy 6,000. And the occasion? Not the coming of Christ but of another oriental, Swami Yogananda."
