• Autobiography Chapter 20, Part 1: Sri Yukteswar’s art of diplomacy

  This episode covers the first part of chapter 20 to  “...My guru silently resumed his walk;” Summary: As Mukunda uses his nous to make his trip to Kashmir happen, Sri Yukteswar does everything he can to politely postpone it – almost as if he knew what was about to happen! We explore the themes of aligning our plans with divine will, the hidden protection behind not getting what you want, and the importance of intuition in guiding us towards better outcomes. We also discuss the subtle ways he manages Mukunda’s expectations and the nuances in how a Paramahansa Yogananda reflects on these happenings as he recalls them decades on.  0:00 Expectations on chapter; 9:35 The request and refusal; 19:20 Mystic being mystical; 28:12 The plans unravelled; 34:45 Prediction; 41:28 Looking ahead. Homework for next episode— Read, absorb and make notes on the next part of chapter 20 from: “I soon reached the schoolmaster’s house...” to “....please serve Mukunda’s food.

• Autobiography Chapter 19, Part 3: Sri Yukteswar’s kindergarten for gifted boys and girls

  This episode covers the last part of chapter 19 from: “A crestfallen Dijen soon entered the room...” to the end of the chapter. Summary: The highlights of the end of the chapter is the subtle reference to the Bible passage where Jesus walks on water and Peter attempts to join him, as discussed in Paramahansa Yogananda’s epic work The Second Coming of Christ. Was Sri Yukteswar Jesus Christ in this reference? Why would Sri Yukteswar’s miracles create a wave of cold fear amongst his disciples? We discuss these important questions and also reflect on this wonderful chapter.  0:00 Prior episode; 2:19 An Apparition or Reality; 19:00 The Experience; 41:25 The Science of Disappearance; 51:38 Looking ahead Homework for next episode— Read, absorb and make notes on the first part of chapter 20 to  “...My guru silently resumed his walk;” #autobiographyofayogi  #autobiographylinebyline  #paramahansayogananda Autobiography of a Yogi awake.minute Self-Realization Fellowship Yogoda Satsanga Society of India #SRF #YSS
