Stories from the Life of Yogananda

Stories from the Life of Yogananda Wisdom Stories Paramhansa Yogananda delighted audiences, students, and friends with stories drawn from his own life experiences and the people he met in his native India, as well as during his global travels and cross-country teaching campaigns in the United States. Lovingly told by his direct disciple, Swami Kriyananda, his nephew, Hare Krishna Ghosh, and Yogananda himself, these stories are timeless in their relevance. Addressing the age-old challenges of society at large, as well as the individual human predicament, these stories often offer an impersonal perspective on our traits and tendencies. Paramhansa Yogananda’s stories demonstrate an expanded worldview that includes everyone. While fully engaging in the modern world of his day, he never identified with its limitations or tantalizing, illusive promises. With courage and willingness to stand up for universal truths, he shows us that we have a choice in how we are going to live and in using our inherent soul ability we possess to adapt and change, even drastically, when called upon to do so. This is the third book in the Wisdom Stories series. Each story includes a “Gem of Wisdom” in Yogananda’s own words. By giving us a clear path to overcoming the limitations of ego, adjusting our attitudes, and expanding our hearts, he offers us a priceless and lasting gift that we can then share with receptive hearts of any age.
