"Hare Krishna Ghosh, the only living son of Paramhansa Yogananda's brother, Sananda Lal Ghosh, was born in Calcutta at 4 Garpar Road, where Yogananda lived from the time he was 12 until he met his guru, Swami Sri Yukteswar. After ten years of training inhis guru's hermitage, Yogananda left India for America in 1920 to begin his life's mission: demonstrating to truth seekers around the world the essential oneness of the religions of East and West. In 1935 Yogananda returned to India to be reunited for a time with his guru, his beloved father and other family members, and his friends and disciples. It was during this visit that Hare Krishna, age 15, met him for the first time. That meeting, and the subsequent months spent with the master, changed Hare Krishna's life forever. We met Hare Krishna and his wife, Anjali, on our first pilgrimage to India in 1986, when they graciously hosted us in their home. It was our pleasure then also to meet their son, Somnath, and their daughter, Papia, both of whom are married and have children of their own. On first entering the house where our guru lived and where, he later stated, "I found God," we could feel his vibrations everywhere-as a small boy running up and down the staircases, laughing and playing pranks on hissisters and brothers; as a young man diving deeper and deeper into God-communion; as an avatar for this age. For any of you who find yourselves longing to go to India to experience Yogananda's presence there, we highly recommend that you go to Hare Krishna's home at 4 Garpar Road. Their doors are always open: for meditating in Yogananda's attic room, talking with the family, or just quietly soaking in the spiritual vibrations that are felt throughout the house. In the following pages Hare Krishna has very beautifully described many of his experiences with Yogananda, in his unique relationship to him as uncle and guru. We hope that you will find the same inspiration and joy we have felt in reading these glimpses into Yogananda's life, and into the deep effect he had on all those around him"--
Thank You, Master
Anyone who has read and loved Autobiography of a Yogiwill be delighted to find this treasure of personal experiences and heartfelt remembrances of Paramhansa Yogananda by three of his direct disciples.
Stories from Yogananda's family members, Hare Krishna Ghosh and Meera Ghosh, who became disciples as teenagers, take the reader on pilgrimage to India to the sacred places and miraculous moments shared with this great yogi. The stories of Peggy Deitz transport one to Yogananda's ashram in California and his time living with devotees in America.
These accounts, whether humorous or miraculous, casual or divine, bring to life the experience of being in Yogananda's presence. They give insight into the profound love with which he guided each individual.
Yogananda was not only one of the greatest yoga masters of our time. He was an avatar: an incarnation of the Divine.
