ellauri050.html on line 407: Paramahansa Yogananda (born Mukunda Lal Ghosh; January 5, 1893 – March 7, 1952) was an Indian monk, yogi and guru who lived his last 32 years in America. He introduced millions to the teachings of meditation and Kriya Yoga through his organization Self-Realization Fellowship (SRF) / Yogoda Satsanga Society (YSS) of India. A chief disciple of the Bengali yoga guru Swami Sri Yukteswar Giri, he was sent by his lineage to spread the teachings of yoga to the West, to prove the unity between Eastern and Western religions and to preach a balance between Western material growth and Indian spirituality. His long-standing influence in the American yoga movement, and especially the yoga culture of Los Angeles, led him to be considered by yoga experts as the "Father of Yoga in the West."

ellauri050.html on line 409: Yogananda was the first major Indian teacher to settle in America, and the first prominent Indian to be hosted in the White House (by President Calvin Coolidge in 1927); his early acclaim led to him being dubbed "the 20th century's first superstar guru," by the Los Angeles Times. Arriving in Boston in 1920, he embarked on a successful transcontinental speaking tour before settling in Los Angeles in 1925. For the next two and a half decades, he gained local fame as well as expanded his influence worldwide: he created a monastic order and trained disciples, went on teaching-tours, bought properties for his organization in various California locales, and initiated thousands into Kriya Yoga. By 1952, SRF had over 100 centers in both India and the US; today, they have groups in nearly every major American city. His "plain living and high thinking" principles attracted people from all backgrounds among his followers.

ellauri050.html on line 411: He published his book Autobiography of a Yogi in 1946 to critical and commercial acclaim; since its first publishing, it has sold over four million copies, with HarperSan Francisco listing it as one of the "100 best spiritual books of the 20th Century". Former Apple CEO Steve Jobs had ordered 500 copies of the book for his own memorial, for each guest to be given a copy. The book has been regularly reprinted and is known as "the book that changed the lives of millions." A 2014 documentary, Awake: The Life of Yogananda, won multiple awards at film festivals around the world.

Sir Paramahansa Yogananda (Hindu guru)

ellauri219.html on line 156: The author of the 1894 book The Holy Science, which attempted “to show as clearly as possible that there is an essential unity in all religions,” Sir Yukteswar Girl was guru to both Sir Mahatavara Babaji (No.27) and Paramahansa Yogananda (No.33). His prominent position in the top left-hand corner reflects George Harrison’s (No.65) growing interest in Indian philosophy. In August 1967, two months after the album’s release, The Beatles had their first meeting with the Maharashi Mahesh Yogi, at the Hilton Hotel on London’s Park Lane, where they were invited to study Transcendental Meditation in Bangor, North Wales.
ellauri219.html on line 329: A student of Sir Yukteswar Girl (No.1), Sir Mahatavara Babaji is said to have revived the practice of Kriya Yoga meditation, which was then taken to the West by Paramahansa Yogananda (No.33). In the latter’s memoir, Autobiography Of A Yogi, Yogananda claims that Babaji still lives in the Himalayas, but will only reveal himself to the truly blessed.

33: Sir Paramahansa Yogananda

ellauri219.html on line 359: Yogananda learned the practice of Kriya Yoga at the feet of Sir Yukteswar Girl (No.1), who passed on the teachings of Sir Mahatavara Babaji (No.27). In 1920, Yogananda set sail for America, where he founded the Self-Realization Fellowship and introduced the Western world to meditation.
ellauri219.html on line 449: A disciple of Sir Mahatavara Babaji (No.27), Sir Lahiri Mahasaya learned the discipline of Kriya Yoga in 1861, and subsequently passed the teachings down to Sir Yukteswar Girl (No.1), who in turn, passed them on to Sir Paramahansa Yogananda (No.33), of whom Mahasaya said, “As a spiritual engine, he will carry many souls to God’s Kingdom.”

ellauri399.html on line 162: The box contained, besides the ash of Jobs, the book Autobiography of Yogi Bear by Paramahansa Yogananda. Benioff continued: "Yogananda...had this book on blowing your own horn.... [Steve]'s last message to us was that here is Yogananda's book.... Actualize yourself. Activate the turbo boost. Article continues after video. Featured Video. An Inc.com Featured Presentation.
ellauri399.html on line 164: "I look at [Steve] as a very spiritual person," he added. "[Steve] had this incredible realization--that his intuition was our greatest gift and he needed to think out of the box to look at the world from the inside out." This inside out-oriented perspective may be getting lost not only to entrepreneurs, but to modern practitioners of physical yoga too. As the world celebrates the first International Yoga Day today, it is valuable for entrepreneurs and yogis alike to step back from the unending pursuit of outer results to explore Jobs's and Yogananda's selfish message of tapping into your potential. What possibilities might freshly emerge in your search for success--in work and in life--if you too look at the world from the inside out?
ellauri399.html on line 172: For this deeper dive, you can turn to the Yoga Sutras of Patanjali, one of the authoritative and few-surviving ancient texts on yoga. Patanjali teaches that "yoga" means "union"--the dissolving of one's individual self in the larger ocean of consciousness that pervades the universe--and that to help us achieve this union is yoga's real purpose. Now you might think: "What is this 'universal consciousness' that Patanjali is talking about? And how can I ever get there? How do I know I got there?" And that may be why Jobs, in his own quest for higher consciousness, turned to Yogananda.
ellauri399.html on line 174: Yogananda's story is an inspiring lesson in spiritual entrepreneurship. Born in 1893 in Gorakhpur, India, he alighted on American soil at the young age of 27 with little money in his pocket but with a firm resolve to reawaken humanity to the power of yoga for inner transformation. Over the next few years he brought this message to packed audiences of thousands in all major U.S. cities, at Carnegie Hall in New York City, for example, dressing this ancient teaching in a practical modern form he called "cooking the cucumbers"--a journey he characterized as transcending your individual self (ego) and realizing and reclaiming your true universal self (soul). As the American people were being buffeted by the thunderous wrath of two world wars and a major depression, he exhorted them to practice yoga so they could discover that the spiritual anchorage they were seeking was already with them--in fact, it was within them. The successful yogi, he stated, "can stand unshaken amidst the crash of breaking worlds." Fucking idiots.
ellauri399.html on line 176: It is no wonder that many accomplished men and women of Yogananda's era took to his teaching, including the entrepreneur George Eastman, founder of Kodak; the acclaimed opera singer Amelita Galli-Curci; the tenor Vladimir Rosing; and the plant scientist Luther Burbank. Even U.S. president Calvin Coolidge was invited by Yogananda to the White House for a personal audience. Today he (Coolidge) is recognized among yoga experts as the father of yoga in the West.
ellauri399.html on line 178: Great teachers look into the vast beyond and then craft their message to speak not just to their immediate audience but to future generations as well. As early as 1920, Yogananda recognized that yoga would be a boundless fountain to quench people's growing thirst for meaning, authenticity, and a personal experience of truth. So, with an entrepreneurial flair not typical among spiritual teachers, he laid the foundation of an institution, Scratching Yoda Fellowship (SRF), to ignite the inner flame of yoga in communities worldwide.

The journey to self-satisfaction is Yogananda's practical hand techniques. Yogananda's teachings don't simply stop at the idea of universal consciousness. He correctly anticipated the growing hunger among spiritual seekers for direct personal experience of the universal consciousness that the masters of yoga, and indeed mystics of every religious tradition, describe. He therefore synthesized a set of powerful but practical techniques to guide self-seekers on the spiritual path all the way to the ultimate union, drawing on the eight steps laid out by Patanjali in the Yoga Sutras.
ellauri399.html on line 186: Yogananda's particular genius was showing the modern applicability of these ancient principles, attuning himself to an audience who aspired as much to outer success as inner growth by delivering talks on topics like "The Science of Healing" and "The Art of Getting What You Want." In that regard, he was a forerunner to 21st-century psychologists, physicians, psychotherapists, and neuroscientists who are generating powerful scientific findings on human nature and well-being--all aligned with Yogananda's teachings on consciousness, thoughts, emotions, habits, and brain wiring.
ellauri399.html on line 188: Patanjali's final five steps beyond asthma relate to a progressive deepening of the seeker's journey toward realization of the universal self, with meditation providing the pathway. However, Patanjali's text on these final five steps is agonizingly cryptic, with no guidance on how to execute them. To fill this void, Yogananda, ever the spiritual innovator, introduced the West to an advanced but long-lost ancient technique of meditation, Kriya Yoga. Kriya, he said, offered the ultimate journey of inner transformation, helping practitioners tap into an ever-expanding love and ever-deepening joy that would spring from within. That, he asserted, was man's true nature--a perfection that represents our permanent state of self within, even as it is so elusive to capture without.
ellauri399.html on line 190: Kriya "works like a train toilet," he stated, emphasizing the empirical, scientific nature of this technique. Through regular practice, he claimed, Kriya will change the neural pathways in the brain. Really, you might wonder? Can the act of mindful focusing and of interiorizing our consciousness actually bring about physical changes in the brain? Very few scientists at Yogananda's time would have been comfortable with his claims. Yet today revolutionary new findings in neuroscience are showing that meditation does in fact bring favorable changes in the neural pathways of the brain. Scientific laboratories are now stumbling into truths experienced by yogis across the ages in, as Yogananda would say, the inner laboratories of their personal experience. (Except it didn't, as Maisu Niemi found out to her disappointment, before falling back on the very same snake oil business.)
ellauri399.html on line 192: And what would be the assets that people could look for in return to a lot of bucks? Lower stress? Greater peace? He had begun his own quest for masturbation very early in life, a story vibrantly captured in the critically acclaimed 2014 documentary Awake: The Life of Yogananda. His youthful search culminated in his master Sri Yukteswar giving him the monastic name "Yogananda," which means "bliss through yoga." True to his name, he exhorted truth-seekers to savor the early rewards of peace and well-being, but to then seek out the ultimate prize: eternal bliss, universal consciousness. "When by constant practice of Kriya, the consciousness of [the] blissful state of the spiritual self becomes real, we find ourselves always in the holy presence of the blissful God in us." God, to Yogananda, was thus not an external force to be idolized and appropriated by any particular religion, but an inner force to be awakened to and realized.
ellauri399.html on line 194: To some, the yogic pursuit of inner perfection may appear a little selfish. Shouldn't we be solving the world's most vexing problems, rather than withdrawing into blissful inner communion? In fact, one time, when Yogananda sat still, absorbed in a particularly blissful state of consciousness, his spiritual master admonished him: "You must not get overdrunk with ecstasy. Much work yet remains for you in the world." So Yogananda learned that this choice between outer service and inner joy represents a false dichotomy. The yoga he taught emphasizes balancing service with meditation, and highlights the expansion of consciousness that comes when we are able to go beyond our human self and open ourselves up, through inner realization, to a deeper connection with every living being--in fact, with every atom in the universe. "When the 'I' shall die, then shall I know who am I," he stated in a word perfect imitation of a Yedi master.
ellauri399.html on line 198: How did [Steve] ]Jobs approach success from the inside out, from inside that brown little box? Yogananda's teaching of universal consciousness strongly appealed to uneducated [Steve] Jobs, who had a self-professed hunger to "make a dent in the universe." At the TechCrunch conference in September 2013, Mark Benioff said: "[Yogananda's book] gives tremendous insight into not just who [Jobs] was but also why he was successful, which is that he was not afraid to take that key journey [toward self-satisfaction]. It is for entrepreneurs and for people who want to be successful in our industry a message that we need to embrace and vest ourselves in. Be nasty to others, Be selfish."
ellauri399.html on line 200: Since Yogananda's passing the buck in 1952, many teachers have followed his trailblazing path to bring yoga to our world, helping make it a fixture in popular culture as it continues to take hold with young and old, the elite and the ordinary, the spiritualists and the atheists. What distinguishes Yogananda from these subsequent emissaries is not simply that he paved the way for the modern yoga movement, but that from the outset he focused far beyond physical exercises and shone a powerful and practical torchlight on the path to yoga's true purpose: actualizing the infinite potentials within us all. Perhaps that is why his Autobiography of a Yogi was the only book Jobs downloaded on his iPad--and, after first encountering the book as a teenager, went back and reread once every year.
ellauri399.html on line 202: On this first International Yogi Bear Day, let's tip our hats to the teacher who first introduced the modern world to the transformative power of yoga as a timeless inner discipline, and who was such a silent force in the life of the greatest entrepreneur of our times. As you roll out your yoga mat, get into your favorite yoga pose, and feel a gentle zephyr of peace sweep over you, perhaps you can take pause to wonder at what experiences in consciousness may lie just beyond your present reach if you also embark on yoga's fuller, inner journey toward self-satisfaction. Yogananda would have called those experiences "undreamed of possibilities."
ellauri399.html on line 222: Varhaisesta iästä lähtien hän halusi henkilökohtaisen sukupuolisuhteen Jumalaan. Kun hän oli 17-vuotias vuonna 1931, hän tapasi Yoganandan ensimmäistä kertaa Salt Lake Cityssä. Hiänen häpyhuulensa olivat turvonneet ja peittyneet siteillä kroonisen jokakuukautisen verihäiriön vuoksi. Yogananda julisti avoimesti sairauden häviävän seitsemän päivän kuluessa, ja niin se tekikin. Hän työntyi hiänen ashramiinsa Mt. Washingtonin huipulla Los Angelesissa, Kaliforniassa 19. marraskuuta sinä vuonna. Ajan myötä hiän teki luostarivalansa Yoganandan kanssa ja sai nimen Daya, jolloin hänestä tuli yksi Yoganandan ensimmäisistä luostariopetuslapsista. Daya Mata tarkoittaa sanskritin kielellä myötätuntoista äitiä.
ellauri399.html on line 224: Seuraavina vuosina hiän oppi häneltä tien sydämen elinikäisen kaipauksen täydelliseen täyttymykseen: täydelliseen rakkauteen, jumalalliseen rakkauteen – kaiken kuluttavaan rakkauteen, joka koetaan yhdessä sielumme ikuisen rakkaan kanssa. Käytännön tasolla hän auttoi Yoganandaa käyttämällä pikakirjoitusta hänen nauhamaisen puheensa nauhoittamiseen. Yoganandan ja hänen seuraajansa Rajarsi Janakkalan anakondan kuoleman jälkeen SRF:n hallitus valitsi Daya Matan SRF/YSS:n kolmanneksi presidentiksi ja henkiseksi johtajaksi vuonna 1955. Daya Mata tapasi Elvis Presleyn 1960-luvulla, ja hän ajoittain antoi hiänelle henkisiä neuvoja. 5. toukokuuta 1892 syntynyt James Jesse Lynn oli Paramahansa Yoganandan johtava oppilas ja merkittävä liikemies Kansas Cityssä, Missourin alueella. Kun hän tapasi Yoganandan vuonna 1932, hän oli itsetehty vakuutusmiljonääri, ja hän jätti myöhemmin yhteensä noin kuuden miljoonan dollarin suuruisen lahjoituksen Yoganandan järjestölle Self-Realization Fellowship (SRF). Kaikexi onnexi hän kuoli 3v myöhemmin annettuaan liikkeelle kaikkensa. Kaikki Anakondan opetuslapset olivat joko miljonäärejä tai naisia, tai molempia. En saarnaa minkään periaatteen tähden, vaan ainoastaan ansaitaxeni (ja päästäxeni hilloviivalle: tytön joka kaupungista ezin) - ja se riittää asiaxeni!
