In this inspiring and practical book Sri Mrinalini Mata, president of Self-Realization Fellowship, vividly brings to life her personal experiences of Paramahansa Yogananda's sublimely wise spiritual training and unconditional love. In exploring what it really means to seek God, Mrinalini Mata talks about the infinite potential of the mind, the cultivation of will power and even-mindedness, and how the practice of Kriya Yoga can uplift and transform our lives.
It is a very short and sweet book and is all about Sri Mrinalini mata's first hand experience during the days of her association with Gurudeva. It does give glimpses of how Gurudeva was training his disciples in those days. The Autobiography of a Yogi does not deal in much detail, the Guru's days in US and how difficult it was for him. This book does fill some of the gaps. It is a must read for those following the path of YSS or SRF.
This is my favorite SRF book so far. The cover itself called to me, and I feel very blessed to have gotten to read it 😇 Mrinalini Mata's blessings and well wishes are filled in the pages, as she writes about her Faith and the Goodwill God has. There are many inspiring and amazing miracle stories in the book. Would recommend to every body interested in this branch of religion, although as Mrinalini Mata says, "the true meaning of religion" is Just "divine love". 🖤
For those who have already read "The Autobiography of a Yogi" this directly has references to it, and the legacy of Sri Yukteshwar. Also, this book projects how Shri Yogananda has expanded his teachings with a great legacy. The crux of this book is about steadfastness in God, and the importance of the general worldly education inasmuch to make a greater impact on the world!
Those who are reading this review, may God excel you in your knowledge "Rabbi Zidni Ilma"
You can easily get indulged in 'maya'. Definitely you need light when walk in darkness. Word of Guru is a powerful inspiration to seek the light within. This book truly reminds you of that.
