Sayings of Yogananda

This book contains intimate glimpses into the mind of a modern world teacher. Shining from every page are his compassionate understanding of man and his boundless love of God. In his training of students he knew unerringly when to relieve a somber situation with a bright flash of wit, and how to transform philosophical profundities into simple and unforgettable truths. A graduate of Calcutta University, Paramahansa Yogananda came in 1920 to America. Phenomenal success atended his efforts to inspire men with a desire for God-realization. In hundreds of cities he taught the largest yoga classes in the world, and personally initiated 100,000 students into yoga (scientific techniques of meditation that awaken the divine consciousness in man). --- from book's back cover
