Product Description

The voice of Paramahansa Yogananda.
These digitally restored archival recordings of talks by Paramahansa Yogananda are unique - offering the listener a rare opportunity to hear the actual voice of a great lover of God. Anyone who admires Yogananda's writings will love hearing him speak. Yogananda can be heard sometimes expounding great truths with passion and humor, and at other times intimately talking with God, rapt in divine communion.
Beholding the One in All was recorded on Paramahansa Yogananda's birthday, January 5, 1949 at the Self Realization Fellowship International Headquarters in Los Angeles. It is the first in our special Collector's Series of rare recorded talks. With illustrations from Indian scriptures and his own life, and insights born of his direct perception of Truth, he shows that there is one great purpose in this cosmic drama: to coax us to look beyond its illusions and discover the glory and the love of God.

About the Author

Hailed as "the father of Yoga in the West", Paramahansa Yogananda - author of the classic Autobiography of a Yogi - is regarded as one of the great spiritual figures of our time. Born in India on January 5, 1893, he devoted his life to helping people of all races and creeds to realize and express more fully in their lives the true beauty, nobility, and divinity of the human spirit. After graduating from Calcutta University in 1915, Yogananda took formal vows as a monk of India's venerable monastic Swami Order. Two years later, he began his life's work with the founding of a how-to-live school since grown to twenty-one educational institutions throughout India where traditional academic subjects were offered together with yoga training and instruction in spiritual ideals. In 1920, he was invited to serve as India's delegate to an International Congress of Religious Liberals in Boston. His address to the Congress and subsequent lectures on the East Coast were enthusiastically received, and in 1924 he embarked on a cross-continental speaking tour. Over the next three decades, Paramahansa Yogananda contributed in far-reaching ways to a greater awareness and appreciation in the West of the spiritual wisdom of the East. In Los Angeles, he established an international headquarters for Self-Realization Fellowship, the nonsectarian religious society he had founded in 1920. Through his writings, extensive lecture tours, and the creation of Self-Realization Fellowship temples and meditation centers, he introduced hundreds of thousands of truth-seekers to the ancient science and philosophy of Yoga and its universally applicable methods of meditation. Today, the spiritual and humanitarian work begun by Paramahansa Yogananda continues under the direction of Sri Daya Mata, one of his earliest and closest disciples and president of Self-Realization Fellowship/Yogoda Satsanga Society of India since 1955. In addition to publishing his writings, lectures and informal talks (including a comprehensive series of Self-Realization Fellowship Lessons for home study), the society also oversees temples, retreats, and centers around the world.

I have many of Yoganandaji's works. From each reading or listening of his talks, I gain a deeper perspective of the world and myself. Peace, Amy
