Paramhansa Yogananda: reminiscences by his direct disciples

Stories from Yogananda’s family members, Hare Krishna Ghosh and Meera Ghosh, who became disciples as teenagers, take the reader on a pilgrimage to India to the sacred places and miraculous moments shared with this great yogi. The stories of Margaret Bowen Deitz transport one to Yogananda’s ashram in California and his time living with devotees in America. 

These accounts, whether humorous or miraculous, casual or divine, bring to life the experience of being in Yogananda’s presence. They give insight into the profound love with which he guided each individual. 

Yogananda was not only one of the greatest yoga masters of our time, but he was also an avatar—an incarnation of the divine. First-hand experiences from close disciples are a true gift that can help us tune into his vast nature. At the same time, these delightful stories will touch your heart and uplift your spirit.
