Autobiography Chapter 22, Part 1: Yogananda’s guide to family inspiration
Manage episode 491817985 series 2907022
This episode covers the start of chapter 22 to:
"...a devout Christian sees Jesus; a Hindu beholds Krishna, or the Goddess Kali, or an expanding Light if his worship takes an impersonal turn.”
Summary:
As we start this chapter we reflect on its intriguing title and why Paramahansa Yogananda included it in the book. Guruji’s expert handling of religiously critical family members leaves much food for thought as we analyse how this relates to our lives and relationships. We also share readings about sustaining devotion and why God “prefers” the personal relationship with us – which is the easier path to walk versus the impersonal form.
0:00 Chapter Outlook;
4:55 A tricky husband;
13:35 Satish;
21:50 At the Kali Temple;
33:30 Personal Vs Impersonal form of God;
43:00 Next Episode.
Homework for next episode— Read, absorb and make notes on the next part of chapter 22 from:
"Reluctantly I opened my eyes, and saw that the temple doors...”
to
“...It was one o’clock; the divine vision had lasted an hour.”
