5.0 out of 5 stars A Searching Soul from Long Island, June 25, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: Awake in the Cosmic Dream (Audio Cassette)

"Awake in a Cosmic Dream" was recorded on Master Yogananda's last birthday (January 5, 1952). As you listen, you will feel his compassion, humor and total understanding of the human soul and how it can achieve its final "release from bondage". The Master is funny ("Jesus and The Janitor"), wise (at the beginning when he talks about the candle on the birthday cake) and all-seeing (talking about his student's struggles to gain The Truth). After listeing many times, I get the feeling that Yogananda knew this would be his last big gathering with his disciples and wanted to assure them that they were just as capable of reaching God as he was. Hear the Great Soul who wrote "Autobiography of a Yogi" and is still helping millions today!

This review is from: Awake in the Cosmic Dream (Audio Cassette)

This recording preserves Paramahansa Yogananda's words during an informal gathering on his last birthday, January 5, 1952.Through personal stories and practical guidance, and through the example of his own intimate communion with the Divine Beloved, who maniested to him even as he spoke, this childlike guru gives an unforgettable glimpse of that awakened consciousness in which all mortal dreams of limitation melt away in the blissful awareness of God, the sole reality.As you listen to his voice, know then that he was indeed, a member of the human race, with great humility, which is contrary to what some would have you believe, but which is the ONLY way of the omnipresent Christ Consciousness. Jai Gurudeva Jai.
