Sri Sri Paramahansa Yogananda

The ideal of love for God and service to humanity found

full expression in the life of Sri Sri Paramahansa Yogananda.

Born on January 5, 1893 at Gorakhpur he had but one goal; God -

realization, and one programme, to unite East and West by

Spiritual understanding to demonstrate the underlying unity of

all religions and to awaken divine yearning in all hearts.

The education of youth was always intensely interesting

to Yoganandaji. In 1917, he founded Yogoda Satsonga Society of

India and established his first school at Ranchi in 1918, which

has expanded now to four colleges and seventenn schools in

different States in India.

In 1920, Paramahansa Yoganandaji began his mission in the

West Serving as a delegate from India to the International

Congress of Religions, he travelled to Boston. He spoke of the

ancient spiritual teachings of India and the sacred science of

Kriya (Raja) Yoga. He travelled extensively in America and

millions attended his lectures on the subject of attaining direct

personal experience of God. In 1925, he founded Self

Realisation Fellowship, an International Math, in LosAngeles in

the U.S.A.

But for a short visit to India in 1935, when among others,

he had fruitful discussions with Mahatma Gandhi, the

Paramahansa continued his work in the West. He gave lectures

on the spiritual and cultural heritage of India and conducted

classes in balanced living - God can be realized in the home as

well as in the ashram. He wrote several books of which his

“Autobiography of a Yogi” is recognized throughout the world

as a spiritual classic.

Yoganandaji’s exemplary life ended in Los Angeles on

March 7, 1952 a few moments after he uttered the final words in

a speech at a reception in honour of Ambassador of India to the

United States. His deep pride in his native land echoed through

his last talk: “I love India because there I first learned to love

God and all things beautiful.” Though the major part of his life

was spent outside India, Sri Sri Paramahansa Yogananda takes

his place among our great saints. His work continues to grow

and shine ever more brightly drawing people everywhere on

the path of the Pilgrimage of the spirit.
