Paramahansa Yogananda - Selected Teachings for Meditation - Kriya Yoga

Paramahansa Yogananda (January 5, 1893 – March 7, 1952) was an
Indian monk, yogi and guru who introduced millions to the
teachings of meditation and Kriya Yoga through his organization
Self-Realization Fellowship (SRF) / Yogoda Satsanga Society (YSS)
of India, and who lived his last 32 years in America.  A
chief disciple of the Bengali yoga guru Swami Sri Yukteswar Giri,
he was sent by his lineage to spread the teachings of yoga to the
West, to prove the unity between Eastern and Western religions
and to preach a balance between Western material growth and
Indian spirituality. His long-standing influence in the American
yoga movement, and especially the yoga culture of Los Angeles,
led him to be considered by yoga experts as the "Father of Yoga
in the West." Yogananda was the first major Indian teacher to
settle in America.
