Swami Kriyananda As We Have Known Him by Asha Praver

The greatness of
a spiritual teacher
is only partially revealed by
the work of his own hands.

The rest of the story is one he cannot tell for himself. It is the influence of his consciousness on those who come in contact with him — whether for a brief moment, or for a lifetime of spiritual training. This is the story told here.

Swami Kriyananda, a foremost disciple of Paramhansa Yogananda (author of Autobiography of a Yogi) has been prodigiously creative in his service to his Guru. His books are available in 28 languages in 100 countries. His music is performed around the world. In India, millions of people watch his daily television show. He has founded schools and retreats, and communities on three continents. He speaks eight languages, and has circled the globe dozens of times lecturing and teaching.

In this “biography of consciousness,” Swami Kriyananda’s remarkable qualities are revealed with breathtaking clarity — love for God, divinely guided strength, joy in the face of adversity, humor, wisdom, compassion, and unconditional love.

A true teacher, however, does not incarnate merely to show the world how great he is. He comes to illuminate for others the pathway to greatness we all must follow.

Here, in some two hundred stories spanning more than forty years, personal reminiscences and private moments with this master teacher bring priceless, universal life lessons for all of us.
