The Life of Yogananda
Author: Philip Goldber
Publisher: Hay House, Inc
ISBN: 1401952186
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 361
Book Description
He was called "the 20th century’s first superstar guru" (Los Angeles Times), and today, nearly a century after he arrived in the United States, he’s still the best known and most beloved of all the Indian spiritual teachers who have come to the West. Now, finally, Paramahansa Yogananda has the authoritative biography he deserves.Yogananda, considered by many to be the father of modern yoga, has had an unsurpassed global impact thanks to the durability of his teachings, the institutions he created or inspired, and especially his iconic memoir, Autobiography of a Yogi.Since its publication in 1946, that book has sold millions of copies and changed millions of lives. But it doesn’t tell the whole story.Much of Yogananda’s seminal text is devoted to tales about other people, and it largely overlooks the three vital decades he spent living, working, and teaching in America. Huge chunks of his life—challenges, controversies, and crises; triumphs, relationships, and formative experiences—remain unknown to even his most ardent devotees. In this captivating biography, scholar and teacher Philip Goldberg fills the gaps, charting a journey that spanned six decades, two hemispheres, two world wars, and unprecedented social changes. The result is an objective, thoroughly researched account of Yogananda’s remarkable life in all its detail, nuance, and complex humanity.But this is more than a compelling life story. "Yogananda would, I believe, want any book about him to not only inform but transform," Goldberg writes. "It is my hope that readers will be enriched, expanded, and deepened by this humble offering." That is sure to be the case for both Yogananda enthusiasts and those who discover him for the first time in these illuminating pages.

Book Description
"Will is the great dynamo lying within us. The direction of Will is the fundamental principle of YOGODA. The more you apply Will, when asked to do so in the following exercises, the better results you· will get. Never forget this. If you neglect this while taking the exercises, you will miss the thing of chief importance.Remember, whenever you direct your Will into any part of the body as you tense it you are sending down a quantity of nerve energy-Pranic current or vital energy-from the brain to that part. The greater the flow of this Pranic current, the stronger and better is its action on that particular part, and the greater is the chance of the tissues of that part being revitalized by more rapid circulation and healthier Pranic adjustment. Thus tissues will grow stronger and fresher. In the tension of muscles by Will you turn on the Pranic current in them, in relaxation you switch it off. This Pranic current (or motor nerve energy) sent down by Will is not only an independent source of power to the muscles and other parts but it is also a most active agent in bringing about a better adjustment of the tissues. It imparts more life to them, too. So remember, while inducing high tension in a muscle or group of muscles, to use maximum Will. This is conscious Will as differentiated from automatic will, such as is used in walking, etc. But when you walk blind-folded in the dark you have to use conscious Will, and then you necessarily send down more nerve energy to the muscles and touch-surfaces for better limb movement." - Paramahansa Yogananda
