Stories Are a Powerful TeacherStories from India Volume TwoParamhansa Yogananda As a universal medium, stories reach into the hearts of all God's children - young and old - delivering timeless truths in ways easy to digest and assimilate. Perhaps, more than anything, this is why Paramhansa Yogananda wove stories into all of his teachings through his lectures and books and why his close disciple, Swami Kriyananda, did the same. This second volume in the Wisdom Stories series picks up where volume one left off with stories shared by the great yoga master, Paramhansa Yogananda (author of the spiritual classic and best-selling title Autobiography of a Yogi) and his close direct disciple, Swami Kriyananda. These stories have been recounted for generations and imparting universal values of compassion and understanding, virtue, dharma (right action), and the ability to relate to another's reality. Presented in an easy-to-find format based on their spiritual principles, the Wisdom Stories series presents these tales, as told by Yogananda, the master storyteller himself. Such stories allow people to relax, be fully present and receptive, and understand truths and subtleties they might otherwise miss.

Autorenporträt
Born in 1893, Yogananda was the first yoga master of India to take up permanent residence in the West.Yogananda arrived in America in 1920 and traveled throughout the country on what he called his "spiritual campaigns." Hundreds of thousands filled the largest halls in major cities to see the yoga master from India. Yogananda continued to lecture and write up to his passing in 1952.Yogananda's initial impact on Western culture was truly impressive. His lasting spiritual legacy has been even greater. His Autobiography of a Yogi, first published in 1946, helped launch a spiritual revolution in the West. Translated into more than fifty languages, it remains a best-selling spiritual classic to this day.Before embarking on his mission, Yogananda received this admonition from his teacher, Swami Sri Yukteswar: "The West is high in material attainments but lacking in spiritual understanding. It is God's will that you play a role in teaching mankind the value of balancing the material with an inner, spiritual life."In addition to Autobiography of a Yogi, Yogananda's spiritual legacy includes music, poetry, and extensive commentaries on the Bhagavad Gita, the Rubaiyat of Omar Khayyam, and the Christian Bible, showing the principles of Self-realization as the unifying truth underlying all true religions. Through his teachings and his Kriya Yoga path millions of people around the world have found a new way to connect personally with God.His mission, however, was far broader than all this. It was to help usher the whole world into Dwapara Yuga, the new Age of Energy in which we live. "Someday," Swami Kriyananda wrote, "I believe he will be seen as the avatar of Dwapara Yuga: the way shower for a new age."
