My Life with Paramhansa Yogananda with Swami Kriyananda 9/26/09

[@stevesith7022]

wife left me & my kiddies 2 months ago, 1 way ticket overseas, seeking my truth got me thru from Santos Bonacci to Sri Yukteswar, Bill Hicks to George Carlin, lots in between..the world is still a beautiful place, everyday is still a lovely day, I cant take it out on anybody, there's no denying that my children and I have our sad moments of abandonment, of loneliness, of isolation but we are rising above.....

How are u now sir? And your kids as well, I hope they're doing great

[@sumangala7455]

How are you now Steve? Is everything fine now?

[@FromTheHood2TheWoods]

Women are is Satan. They will take the kids knowing it is crushing both you and the children. Dealing with that for 16 years. Now my son is on heroin, and she wonders why. God it’s so hard not to hate her and want to see her crushed. Yet if I live with that energy I will never be happy

lucky you got the kids when my ex wife cheated I lost my son and daughter raised them till 6 years old and didn't see them another day despite going to court 12 times getting split custody so cout yourself lucky

[@saismrti]

One visible sign of a self realized person is the peace and joy he exudes. Swami Kriyananda exudes this peace and joy. A truly self realized person has no attachment for anything except being immersed in his true Self which is God. Kriyananda exudes all these true qualities of a truly self realized person. He also displays in this lecture that a self realized person need not be a serious recluse, he can be very much human, with a great sense of humor and yet be one pointed in being immersed in God. His humility is another reflection of his self realization. A beautiful lecture. Thanks, Swamiji.

[@arudraslisko7170]

​@@sangeeta963it is good to check if the facts one has heard are right or not before making scathing statements. Sadly, it was SRF who sued Ananda and tried to force the court to proclaim nobody can use Master's image, word or likeness in any way without SRF's permission. That is why it came out Master never gave SRF the rights to his original works and why now the original 1946 version of the AY, as well as the original articles and commentaries on the scriptures Master wrote are in the public domain (you can find it on the internet) and free for all of his disciples to use and share, no matter what organization they are part of.

Autobiography of a Yogi is a Preface to the never ending Spiritual Wealth of India.

[@gloriafedy5445]

+srinivas vangala Is it this spiritual wealth that rapes women with rebar. beats their wives or burns them, where educated men say India is the perfect society where women have no value except to cook and bear children. --where men refuse to use toilets and piss and shit in public, where there are no place for widows to go when their husband dies and their inlaws throw them into the street.;-- where their are no social programmes to assist those in miserable poverty, where cows have higher value than women--- where the vendors will cheat you if you are not Indian, where children ( filthy) pull at you in the streets wanting money. --where one of the wealthiest gurus just lovesa young boys and a cow born with two hearts is the reincarnation of Krishna.

[@arthurolimpio5739]

Spiritual wealth has nothing to do with the negativity the bestial and unrefined souls do or think to themselves. I think what he meant was a true individual that has achieved the Supreme Realisation, that is what embodies this collection of truly beatific knowledge.

Back in the sixties I had the privilege of talking with Swami Kriyananda on the phone. In his kindness he sent me a cassette of him chanting to God. When I heard him singing 'Hey Bhagavan....' it sent waves of bliss up my spine. Through his selfless service to Master he has helped many towards Sat Chit Ananda. Aum, Shanti, Namaste.

[@reallyordinary]

He also regularly sexually assaulted several women in his Ananda communities throughout the seventies and eighties, and picked up and dropped the name "Swami Kriyananda" whenever it suited his purposes, treating his monastic vows as something he could turn on and off whenever he felt like it. He was an extremely damaged individual who caused an incredible amount of harm in his life.

Somendra, Thank you for your thoughtful response. "if one cannot be loyal to his loved ones, he can't be loyal to God." That makes sense to me. That is what I feel. No human being can truly approve of selfishness. In our hearts we all know selfishness is ugly. We all know it's important to take care of one another. Somehow, when people become "spiritual" they think that putting their own "growth" above everyone else's wellbeing is ok. But that's so OBVIOUSLY not true. Thanks for responding.

[@charlesdavis7087]

Dear students of Yogananda and Kriyananda; I think most of you will agree that all truly great teachers want their students (disciples) to go beyond them. For example, if I were teaching the piano, what I really want is for my students to get better at playing the piano than I. If you accept this as being true, the time has come for you to understand that God Realization is not the end; it is only a beginning, a new kind of beginning. A beginning for those who are willing to do so... to enter into the highest degree of samadhi they can... and now no longer shut their eyes or fall over in ecstasy. We can now stay conscious in samadhi. And yes, we can learn to walk in samadhi, we can learn to talk in samadhi, learn to eat in samadhi, etc., etc., in ecstasy. This (next) level will allow each student to graduate beyond the world-of-polarities and/or the world-of-opposites. We no longer have to suffer in order to feel joy or be unhappy in order to be happy. Up and down, up and down. That time is over. We can now live without all those seeming opposites. In a God-born ecstasy, one will soon realize that God doesn't have to an opposite. Life doesn't actually have an opposite. The opposite of death is birth. Life is Eternal. God knows it. Your great teachers like Lahiri, Donald, and Babaji are knowing it. So why not know it yourself. It's not a matter of great effort or good works; it's a matter of Grace. Sincerely, Rt. Rev. Charles Vincent Davis, A.T.O.M.

[@boardsandstuff5008]

Livia C. de Freitas kriya yoga is Lahiri mahsaya, not yogananda. He was just a messenger for the teachings and a realized master in those teachings. And is open to all, given by any kriyaban regardless of organizational ties. Heck I have seen highly advance people who learn kriya from books. God does not make disticntion of people or organization.

[@boardsandstuff5008]

Livia C. de Freitas the first yogi was initiated by God himself. You need grace, without it kriya yoga is useless to a point. You will reach a level where God opens the door. Truth universal is open to all at any time, in any place. Small truth is confined to people, places and organization. Look at the essence behind the form.

[@boardsandstuff5008]

Livia C. de Freitas Gods will was to all to return to him. Master was aiding that goal by bringing kriya to the west, but as he suggested there are several techniques similar to kriya, that is it was a truth revealed to many men who seek God with sincerity, not a copyrighted information to be held in a monopolistic fashion. Any kriyaban can initiated others in kriya. Master did befor having his training with Sri yukteswar. Look beyond, It is God the goal the masters are guides in the road to the sacred wedding. If you love the organization more that him, you are not worthy of him.

[@boardsandstuff5008]

Livia C. de Freitas dear one sorry that your delusions don't let you see. God nor master make distinction of persons, if you see in autobiography of a yogi Kriya yoga was given by babaji to Lahiri Mahasaya, he then ask this avatar if he could give a kriya to even those who weren't all that ready spiritually but have a desire. He consent. There is even stories of master teaching kriya to alcoholics. Because God love all and all must return to Him. He makes no distinction we breathe the same air and have the same water criminals and saints alike. Swami kriyananda is was not perfect but he never claimed to be, he never claimed to be above master or remotely close. His fruits have been for the most par spiritual in nature and kriya has been a gift for the world all of the world but not a select few who delude themselves to think that they are better. Let go of you ego or it will keep enslaving you and your organization loyalty is your heaviest chain. Your words show the level of your spirit. Sorry my the divine bless you every day.

[@boardsandstuff5008]

Livia C. de Freitas in the two penniless boys master initiated two disciples before having his training with Sri yukteswar he was initiated in kriya by his Sanskrit tutor parabahnanda.

It should sister. And, my heart goes out to you. Many of us in the western world mistake the life path that was laid down for the sage. In ancient times, a person would live life, raise a family, have a career, etc. in the first half of life. Then, once the children are grown, and they retire from work, they would then renounce the material world, and become a sage. Think, how else could one be wise enough to counsel people. Unfortunately, these days, some mistakenly see it as a way to escape.

I appreciate your comments. You're right, it's up to me to be okay for the sake of those I care about, & for my own sake. You said, "There is no one who can help you except for your own soul." Human beings do need love & support from others, AND we need to be self-responsible, both. You also said, "There is no question of meditation drawing a person away from his loved ones." In this case, my husband's selfish desire to be fulfilled drew him away. He chose that OVER love and responsibility.

Leo, you're right. To become bitter will not help, and I have a responsibility to my kids not to. I am only left with plenty of questions. I myself want to live a right life, and be united with God. But I see that oftentimes people who take to the spiritual path -- especially meditation it seems -- become very self-focused, often to the point of being selfish. It seems to be a path with many pitfalls, and most people seem to fall in them. I want to find a path where love and humanity MATTER.

[@monamainguard9411]

Ran out of space so I'm continuing in a second comment: Anyway, feeling into it, I am deeply convicted that to love, and be compassionate, and to care for everyone and everything within your scope is of utmost important, and that far too many spiritual seekers skip over that, and go straight for the "gold" of enlightenment-whatever that is. This is the only thing I am sure of for now. That, and also that I WOULD be very unwise to spend my life being bitter about this. ;-)
