anybody else here study his works? many of the things he discusses seem to be very close to the works of david and the loo series.

he talks in deep detail about the returning of christ being a spirit we all evoke from within ourselves. and he also seems to discuss what you call 3d-8d concepts (but with differing language)

anyone else? :)

im also reading that right now (free online) tbh im a little suspicious of yoganandas claims, every chapter involves meeting someone who can levitate, go invisible, manifest object out of thin air, or grow back limbs which have been chopped off. seems like india is full of holy men noones ever thought to catch on film.

i dont doubt the authors knowledge on yoga though.

yes, after hearing the autobiography i felt like checking out some of his other works. his interoperations of the bhagavad gita and his book “the resurrection of christ within you” are seriously amazing works. i only mentioned them here because he also speaks of the many levels of existence (in a matter of fact way) and he seems really honest in his love of humanity.

he's been very helpful in my efforts to understand the spirtual aspects of our universe.

years ago when i was just in the beginning stages of studying snd practicing yoga, i encountered his autobiography and was captivated by his rendition of his experience of cosmic consciousness. at the time, it inspired me to continue on the path of self discovery. later i read works by two of his close students norman paulsen and swami kriyananda, that mirrored a lot of who yogananda was in his day to day life. it was in looking at his photograph that i found how a strikingly pure radiant light shone through his entity and spoke louder than anything written verbally.
