Produktbeschreibung
While a young man, Devi Mukherjee worked with Mahatma Gandhi in the Indian resistance movement and was imprisoned for ¿ve months. After release, Devi began a spiritual quest throughout India, traveling some 45 years at various times. From 1955 to 1966, he was part of the Yogoda Satsanga Society, Yogananda's organization in India. There, he and Swami Kriyananda were brother monks. He later married the daughter of Yogananda's childhood friend Tulsi Bose. The Mukherjee family lived in Tulsi's former house in Calcutta, where he and Yogananda dreamed and meditated as boys. Devi takes the reader on a profoundly inspiring pilgrimage to meet saints and realized masters of modern India in forest ashrams, mountain caves, holy places, and shrines. He shares many insights and lessons from the great ones and tells many previously unpublished stories of Yogananda's early life and return visit to India in 1935-36 This beautifully written book takes you on a deeply inspiring pilgrimage to visit saints and God-realized masters of modern-day India. Devi Mukherjee-a disciple of the great yoga master, Paramhansa Yogananda (1893-1952)-invites you to walk in his footsteps and experience India's spiritual richness, preserved in forest ashrams, mountain caves, and in holy places and shrines. Throughout his many years of travel, Devi meditated with some of India's great souls and felt their transforming spiritual power. From all, he received the same soul guidance-to love God with every fiber of one's being. One of Yogananda's closest boyhood friends, Tulsi Bose, is the father of Devi's wife, Hassi. From Bose and others, Devi obtained previously unpublished stories of Yogananda's early life and 1935 visit to India that give the reader inspiring new glimpses of Yogananda's generosity, courage, loyalty to friends, and spiritual power.
