Stories of Paramhansa Yogananda (With Swami Kriyananda)

http://www.swamikriyananda.org Swami Kriyananda reads and comments on his book "Conversations with Yogananda." The TV series "A Way to Awakening" was recorded in India. In this inspiring talk, Swami Kriyananda reflects on the nature of God as Brahma, Vishnu, and Shiva, explaining these as vibrational aspects of Aum rather than separate beings. He describes how his guru, Paramhansa Yogananda, embodied all three qualities: creativity, steadiness, and the fierce dismantling of delusion, while remaining the most perfect human he ever knew. Through personal anecdotes, including a vivid story about Yogananda's speed and humor, and a poignant reflection on a complicated relationship with a fellow disciple, Kriyananda explores subtleties of the guru-disciple bond. He explains that true spiritual guidance works through inner attunement rather than words alone. He recounts writing his own memoir partly to help readers separate his imperfect humanity from his guru's greatness and to make Yogananda's teachings feel alive. He invites us all, even when facing life's darkness, to cherish the sweetness, kindness, and beauty in others.
