This exceptional book contains hundreds of stories of Paramhansa Yogananda and two of his closest disciples: Rajarshi Janakananda (James J. Lynn, a prominent businessman) and Durga Mata (Florina Darling, who came to Yogananda during his early years in America). Durga moved to Mt. Washington, Yogananda's headquarters in Los Angeles, in December 1929. Sharing with readers her twenty-two years of life with her Guru, she tells of activities at Mr. Washington during the Depression; of Yogananda's lecture campaigns across the U.S.; of various interactions between the Master and his disciples; of Yogananda's visions, healings, miracles, and more. In 1936, the Master asked Durga to move to his hermitage in Encinitas to assist Rajarshi Janakananda, Yogananda's most highly advanced disciple. For many years, Durga served Rajarshi on almost a daily basis, and from these close interactions she paints a rare portrait of this great saint and his deep meditations, his personal habits, and his contacts with Yogananda. Finally, in this book Durga shares her own life and devotion to her Guru. Coming to Yogananda as a young woman, she remained a devoted disciple until her death in 1993. Her book-when combined with writings shared by other disciples such as Swami Kriyananda-helps to present a well-rounded picture of what life was like with the great Master and world teacher, Paramhansa Yogananda.

Less than a week after he finished reading Autobiography of a Yogi, by Paramhansa Yogananda, Swami Kriyananda traveled from New York City to Los Angeles, California and was initiated by Yogananda himself as a disciple and a monk. It was September 12, 1948. James Donald Walters, as he was known then, was twenty-two years old."You have a great work to do," his Guru told him repeatedly. This was not a compliment; it was a sacred responsibility.When Yogananda died in 1952, he left a "blueprint in the ether," he said, for a worldwide spiritual awakening. For sixty-five years Kriyananda worked with prodigious creativity to turn that "blueprint" into a practical way of life. He founded communities, retreats, and schools for children. He wrote over four hundred pieces of music and dozens of books, available now in a hundred countries in thirty languages. He traveled the world, lecturing in five languages, and personally initiated thousands of people into Kriya Yoga.Asha Nayaswami met Kriyananda in 1969, when she was twenty-two. Recognition was immediate. "My Polestar," she called him. Soon he asked her to start taking notes for the book she would someday write about him. For 44 years she was in constant contact with Kriyananda as devotee, friend, personal assistant, and eventually spiritual leader in her own right.By every measure - spiritual and material - his was a triumphant life. Success, however, did not come easily. He was plagued by ill-health, financial challenges, and years of persecution from fellow disciples, including a massive lawsuit that took a dozen years to resolve. The lesson of Kriyananda's life is in the struggle as well as the triumph. This is a first-hand account of life with a great spiritual teacher, one who came not to show the world how great he is, but to awaken in everyone faith in their own spiritual potential.

Yogananda was one of the most significant spiritual teachers of the 20th century. Since his classic, Autobiography of a Yogi, was first published in 1946, its popularity has increased steadily throughout the world. The Essence of Self-Realization is filled with lessons and stories that Yogananda shared only with his closest disciples, this volume offers one of the most insightful and engaging glimpses into the life and lessons of a great sage. Much of the material presented here is not available anywhere else.

What happens as we grow spiritually? Is there a step-by-step process that everyone goes through―all spiritual seekers, including those of any or no religious persuasion―as they gradually work their way upward, until they achieve the highest state of Self-realization? About 2200 years ago, a great spiritual master of India named Patanjali described this process, and presented humanity with a clear-cut, step-by-step outline of how all truth seekers and saints achieve divine union. He called this universal inner experience and process “yoga” or “union.” His collection of profound aphorisms―a true world scripture―has been dubbed Patanjali's Yoga Sutras. Unfortunately, since that time many scholarly translators with little or no spiritual realization have written commentaries on Patanjali's writings that have succeeded only in burying his pithy insights in convoluted phrases like “becomes assimilated with transformations” and “the object alone shines without deliberation.” How can any reader understand Patanjali's original meaning when he or she has to wade through such bewildering terminology?Thankfully, a great modern yoga master―Paramhansa Yogananda, author of the classic Autobiography of a Yogi―has cut through the scholarly debris and resurrected Patanjali's original teachings and revelations. Now, in Demystifying Patanjali, Swami Kriyananda, a direct disciple of Yogananda, shares his guru's crystal clear and easy-to-grasp explanations of Patanjali's aphorisms.As Kriyananda writes in his introduction, “My Guru personally shared with me some of his most important insights into these sutras. During the three and a half years I lived with him, he also went with me at great length into the basic teachings of yoga. “I was able, moreover, to ask my Guru personally about many of the subjects covered by Patanjali. His explanations have lingered with me, and have been a priceless help in the [writing of this book].”
