AUTOBIOGRAPHY OF A YOGI QUOTE
“Babaji smiled at me like a little child; I knew he was intimating that he wanted me to criticize no one, but to see the Lord as residing equally in all body-temples. The great guru (Babaji) added. “By serving wise and ignorant sadhus, I am learning the greatest of virtues, pleasing to God above all others – humility.”Lahiri Mahasaya, Ch. 34, Materializing a Palace in the Himalayas
AutobiographyParamhansa Yogananda
Paramhansa Yogananda (1893 – 1952), best known as the author of Autobiography of a Yogi, was the first guru from India to make his home permanently in the United States. He showed how through meditation one can realize God in their daily lives as a tangible, loving reality. He taught an ancient meditation technique known as Kriya Yoga, by which one can quickly attain Self-realization.
