Yogananda at age six
Move to America [edit]
In 1920, he went to the United States aboard the ship City of Sparta, as India's delegate to an International Congress of Religious Liberals
convening in Boston. That same year he founded the Self-Realization Fellowship (SRF) to disseminate worldwide his teachings on India's
ancient practices and philosophy of Yoga and its tradition of meditation. For the next several years, he lectured and taught on the East
coast and in 1924 embarked on a cross-continental speaking tour. Thousands came to his lectures.[10] During this time he attracted a
number of celebrity followers, including soprano Amelita Galli-Curci, tenor Vladimir Rosing and Clara Clemens Gabrilowitsch, the
daughter of Mark Twain. The following year, he established an international center for Self-Realization Fellowship in Los Angeles,
California, which became the spiritual and administrative heart of his growing work. Yogananda was the first Hindu teacher of yoga to
make his permanent home in America. He lived there from 1920—1952, interrupted by an extended trip abroad in 1935–1936.[11]

Chapter in the book Hinduism Invades America [edit]

In 1930, Dr. Wendell Thomas, author and former professor at the College of the City of New York published the book "Hinduism Invades
America"[12], dealing largely with Swamis Vivekananda and Yogananda. He summarizes his findings below.
“I came to Paramahansa Yogananda many years ago, not as a seeker, but as a writer with a sympathetic yet analytic and critical
approach. I found in him a rare combination. While steadfast in the ancient principles of his profound faith, he had the gift of generous
adaptability, so that he became Christian and American without ceasing to be Hindu and Indian. With his quick wit and great spirit, he
was well fitted to promote reconciliation and truth among the religious seekers of the world. He brought peace and joy to multitudes.”
A whole chapter is dedicated to Yogananda's (then named) Yogoda System and (then named) Yogoda Satsanga organization
(incorporated in New Jersey).

Visit to India, 1935-6 [edit]

In 1935, he returned to India to visit Yukteswar and to help establish his Yogoda Satsanga
work in India. During this visit, as told in his autobiography, he met with Mahatma Gandhi, the
Bengali saint Anandamoyi Ma, Nobel-winning physicist Chandrasekhara Venkata Raman, and
several disciples of Yukteswar's Guru Lahiri Mahasaya.[13] While in India, Yukteswar gave
Yogananda the monastic title of Paramhansa. (SRF adopted the spelling "Paramahansa" after
Yogananda's death. Ananda Sangha continues to use the original spelling.)[14] Paramahansa
means "supreme swan" and is a title indicating the highest spiritual attainment.[15][16] In 1936,
while Yogananda was visiting Kolkata, Sri Yukteswar died in the town of Puri.

Death [edit]
After returning to America, he continued to lecture, write, and establish churches in southern
California. In the days leading up to his death, he began hinting that it was time for him to
leave the world.[17] On March 7, 1952, he attended a dinner for the visiting Indian Ambassador
to the U.S., Binay Ranjan Sen, and his wife at the Biltmore Hotel in Los Angeles. At the
conclusion of the banquet Yogananda spoke of India and America, their contributions to world
peace and human progress, and their future cooperation,[18] expressing his hope for a "United
World" that would combine the best qualities of "efficient America" and "spiritual India."[19]
According to two eyewitnesses—long-time disciples Swami Kriyananda and Daya Mata—as
Yogananda ended his speech, he read from his poem My India, concluding with the words
"Where Ganges, woods, Himalayan caves, and men dream God—I am hallowed; my body Swami Kriyananda offering sweetmeats
touched that sod".[18][20] At the very last words, he slid to the floor, [18] dead from a heart to Yogananda.
attack.[21] Kriyananda wrote that Yogananda had once stated in a lecture, "A heart attack is
the easiest way to die. That is how I choose to die."[18] Yogananda's remains are interred at the Forest Lawn Memorial Park in Glendale,
California.

Teachings [edit]

Yogananda taught his students the need for direct experience of truth, as
opposed to blind belief. He said that “The true basis of religion is not belief, but
intuitive experience. Intuition is the soul’s power of knowing God. To know what
religion is really all about, one must know God.”[22]
Echoing traditional Hindu teachings, he taught that the entire universe is God's
cosmic motion picture, and that individuals are merely actors in the divine play
who change roles through reincarnation. He taught that mankind's deep suffering
is rooted in identifying too closely with one's current role, rather than with the
movie's director, or God.[23]
He taught Kriya Yoga and other meditation practices to help people achieve that Paramahansa Yogananda at a yoga class in Washington,
understanding, which he called Self-realization: D.C.

Self-realization is the knowing in all parts of body, mind, and soul that you
are now in possession of the kingdom of God; that you do not have to pray that it come to you; that God’s omnipresence is
your omnipresence; and that all that you need to do is improve your knowing.[24]

Kriya Yoga [edit]

Main article: Kriya Yoga

Kriya Yoga is a set of yoga techniques that are the main discipline of Yogananda's meditation teachings. Kriya Yoga was passed down
through Yogananda's guru lineage — Mahavatar Babaji taught Kriya Yoga to Lahiri Mahasaya, who taught it to his disciple Yukteswar,
Yogananda's Guru. Because of ancient yogic injunctions, "the actual technique must be learned from a Kriyaban or Kriya Yogi",
according to Yogananda.[25] He gave a general description of Kriya Yoga in his Autobiography:
The Kriya Yogi mentally directs his life energy to revolve, upward and downward, around the six spinal centers (medullary,
cervical, dorsal, lumbar, sacral, and coccygeal plexuses) which correspond to the twelve astral signs of the zodiac, the
symbolic Cosmic Man. One-half minute of revolution of energy around the sensitive spinal cord of man effects subtle
progress in his evolution; that half-minute of Kriya equals one year of natural spiritual unfoldment.[26]

Autobiography of a Yogi [edit]

 Main article: Autobiography of a Yogi
In 1946, Yogananda published his life story, Autobiography of a Yogi. It has since been Wikisource has original text
translated into twenty-five languages. In 1999, it was designated one of the "100 Most related to this article:
Important Spiritual Books of the 20th Century" by a panel of spiritual authors convened by Autobiography of a Yogi
(1946 edition)
Philip Zaleski and HarperCollins publishers.[27]
Autobiography of a Yogi describes Yogananda's spiritual search for enlightenment, in addition to encounters with notable spiritual figures
such as Therese Neumann, Anandamoyi Ma, Mohandas Gandhi, Nobel laureate in literature Rabindranath Tagore, noted plant scientist
Luther Burbank (the book is 'Dedicated to the Memory of Luther Burbank, An American Saint'), famous Indian scientist Sir Jagadish
Chandra Bose and Nobel Prize-winning physicist Sir C. V. Raman. One notable chapter of this book is "The Law of Miracles", where he
gives scientific explanations for seemingly miraculous feats. He writes "the word 'impossible' is becoming less prominent in man's
vocabulary"[28]

Claims of bodily incorruptibility [edit]

As reported in Time Magazine on August 4, 1952, Harry T. Rowe, Los Angeles Mortuary Director of the Forest Lawn Memorial Park
Cemetery in Glendale, California, where Yogananda's body was embalmed,[29] wrote in a notarized letter[30] sent to Self-Realization
Fellowship:[31]
The absence of any visual signs of decay in the dead body of Paramahansa Yogananda offers the most extraordinary case
in our experience.... No physical disintegration was visible in his body even twenty days after death.... No indication of mold
was visible on his skin, and no visible drying up took place in the bodily tissues. This state of perfect preservation of a body
is, so far as we know from mortuary annals, an unparalleled one.... No odor of decay emanated from his body at any
time....
However, Rowe's complete statement also noted the appearance of a brown spot on Yogananda's nose after twenty days. Others have
pointed out that this degree of preservation of an embalmed body is common.[32]

Organizational legacy [edit]

Yogananda's work is continued by several of his disciples and organizations. Self-Realization Fellowship, which he founded, is
headquartered in Los Angeles and has meditation centers and temples across the world, including the Self-Realization Fellowship Lake
Shrine. The most recent head was Daya Mata, a direct disciple of Yogananda.[33]
Ananda Village, near Nevada City, California, was founded by Swami Kriyananda, a direct disciple of Yogananda. Ananda expresses an
aspect of Yogananda's vision for World Brotherhood Colonies, an idea for spiritual intentional communities that Yogananda often
recommended to his students. At Ananda's Expanding Light Yoga & Meditation Retreat,[34] courses are offered in meditation, spiritual
topics, healthy lifestyle and Ananda yoga, a style of hatha yoga based on Yogananda's teachings as developed by Kriyananda. Ananda
also has centers and meditation groups throughout the world including: Palo Alto, California; Sacramento, California; Portland, Oregon;
Seattle, Washington; Assisi, Italy and Pune, India.[35]
Song of the Morning Retreat Center, near Vanderbilt, Michigan, was founded by Yogacharya Oliver Black, a direct disciple of Yogananda.
The retreat center offers classes on yoga and meditation and hosts programs featuring visiting spiritual teachers.[36]
The Center for Spiritual Awareness (CSA), located in Lakemont, Georgia, was founded by Roy Eugene Davis, a direct disciple of
Yogananda. CSA publishes books, DVD's and audio recordngs, and offers meditation seminars at its retreat center on a voluntary
donation basis.[37]
