ABOUT SWAMI KRIYANANDA
In 1948 at the age of twenty-two, Swami Kriyananda (J. Donald Walters) became a disciple of the Indian yoga master, Paramhansa Yogananda. Yogananda is best known for his spiritual classic, *Autobiography of a Yogi*.
In his book he recalls his experiences growing up in India and his life in America. He writes of meeting the great spiritual master Babaji, and how Babaji reintroduced the life changing meditation technique of Kriya Yoga. He tells of his life with his guru, Swami Sri Yukteswar Giri, of his guru Lahiri Mahasaya, and his meeting with Anandamayi Ma.
Yogananda moved to America and developed the energization exercises and taught the meditation techniques of Hatha Yoga and especially Kriya Yoga.
At Yogananda’s request, Swami Kriyananda devoted his life to lecturing and writing, helping others to experience the living presence of God within. He taught on four continents in seven languages over the course of 65 years. His talks, his music, and his many books have touched the lives of millions. An advocate of simple living and high thinking, his more than 150 books emphasize the need to live wisely by one’s own experience of life, and not by abstract theories or dogmas. A composer since 1964, Walters has written over 400 musical works. His music is inspiring, soothing, and uplifting.
He taught meditation to thousands and has initiated many into the life changing technique of Kriya Yoga. His books and teachings on spiritualizing nearly every field of human endeavor include business life, leadership, education, the arts, community, and science. He wrote extensive commentaries on the Bible and the Bhagavad Gita, both based on the teachings of Paramhansa Yogananda. He is known as the “father of the intentional communities movement,” which began in the United States in the late 1960s, fulfilling Yogananda's dream. Ananda is a worldwide movement to help individuals realize the joy of their own higher Self.

ABOUT PARAMHANSA YOGANANDA
Paramhansa Yogananda, born in 1893, was the first yoga master of India to take up permanent residence in the West. Yogananda arrived in America in 1920, and proceeded to travel throughout the United States on what he called his “spiritual campaigns.” Hundreds of thousands filled the largest halls in major American cities to see the yoga master from India. Yogananda continued to lecture and write up to his passing in 1952. Paramhansa Yogananda’s initial impact on the western culture was truly impressive. But his lasting spiritual legacy has been even greater. His *Autobiography of a Yogi*, first published in 1946, helped launch a spiritual revolution in the West. Translated into more than a dozen languages, it remains a best-selling spiritual classic to this day.

I met Swami Kriyanada at his Ananda home for satsang and when he went on tour in America. He personally invited me to his book signing in San Francisco for his book "The Essence of the Bhagavad Gita" - couldn't turn that down. The last time I talked to him was by correspondence before he passed away. It was an honor knowing him. Great man.

Thank you for sharing, Jaden! 🙏

My honor. Swamiji once sent me a blessing many years ago, which I can't really talk about but the experience- and that's exactly what it was- turned everything around for me while I was on the path. An amazing experience that changed everything. @@AnandaWorldwide

To give your inhalation to the exhalation. And the exhalation to the inhalation is where the energy settles and breath stops. In other words eliminate the pauses in your breath.

Glorify Undefinable, The Answerer or The Stabilizer of Matter Controllers of Body, By Eternal Existence Rely to Undefinable alone, be Serene and judge by how Matter executes! The Identity can exist in every possibility! Ask guidance and things You can't get to The Answerer, THAT allowed You into this body, THAT gave truth for clean-minded in Subconscious, and avoid numbness! And use wonders Lord of Existence made from Earth, and don't take what is unknown, until You will understand it! Shape Your own makings, and You will be supported! Blessed is Controller of Man united with intuition and subtle joy! That relies to Causer of Origins alone, That chooses by the best, That hears brainwaves and sees eye pixels! The life can be mastered, for rules were made simple to Observant! Don't be fearful of destiny, because We're parts of possibilities, that have freewill with Serenity! By wonders of fat-stores fasting, that cleans everything inside! Forbid high anti-nutrient, PUFA, synthetic food - allow wheatgrass, fruit seeds and ferment food! Trial is what evil awaited and good missed! Universe remains to its original form, and don't change adaptable bodies in ignorance! Challenging are the days of Illusion and a sad burden to anyone that didn't seek independence, no first-cause is miracle-free! Great are the days of Responsibility that nourish the Soul! We have always existed! Everything is possible, You're in this body! The world is created for Observer's favor! Whole Multiverse is in perfection for Purpose! As World ends, it will return! Current place is special by The Stabilizer!

a Swami looking like a western bussiness man?

[@draoicht22]

[@HS-yk9vw]

yes, that's fine and i love it. one world, so many different cultures.

[@HS-yk9vw]

...and one truth!

[@sunitisharma7960]

Swami is his own master. He is not defined by outward things. His efforts to be with people the way they feel more at home with him. He was the most creative person I ever saw and of course the most beautiful and amazing saint 🎸✔️👍🌸🎉🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏

[@sunitisharma7960]
