Yogananda, Paramahansa, 1893-1952; Yogis -- India -- Biography
{FN26-1} The noted scientist, Dr. George W. Crile of Cleveland,
explained before a 1940 meeting of the American Association for
the Advancement of Science the experiments by which he had proved
that all bodily tissues are electrically negative, except the
brain and nervous system tissues which remain electrically positive
because they take up revivifying oxygen at a more rapid rate.
{FN26-2} BHAGAVAD GITA, IV:29.
{FN26-3} BHAGAVAD GITA IV:1-2.
{FN26-4} The author of MANAVA DHARMA SHASTRAS. These institutes of
canonized common law are effective in India to this day. The French
scholar, Louis Jacolliot, writes that the date of Manu “is lost
in the night of the ante-historical period of India; and no scholar
has dared to refuse him the title of the most ancient lawgiver in the
world.” In LA BIBLE DANS L’INDE, pages 33-37, Jacolliot reproduces
parallel textual references to prove that the Roman CODE OF JUSTINIAN
follows closely the LAWS OF MANU.
{FN26-5} The start of the materialistic ages, according to Hindu
scriptural reckonings, was 3102 B.C. This was the beginning of the
Descending Dwapara Age (see page 174). Modern scholars, blithely
believing that 10,000 years ago all men were sunk in a barbarous
Stone Age, summarily dismiss as “myths” all records and traditions
of very ancient civilizations in India, China, Egypt, and other
lands.
{FN26-6} Patanjali’s APHORISMS, II:1. In using the words KRIYA
YOGA, Patanjali was referring to either the exact technique taught
by Babaji, or one very similar to it. That it was a definite
technique of life control is proved by Patanjali’s APHORISM II:49.
{FN26-7} Patanjali’s APHORISMS, I:27.
{FN26-8} “In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with
God, and the Word was God. . . . All things were made by him; and
without him was not any thing made that was made.”-JOHN 1:1-3. AUM
(OM) of the VEDAS became the sacred word AMIN of the Moslems, HUM
of the Tibetans, and AMEN of the Christians (its meaning in Hebrew
being SURE, FAITHFUL). “These things saith the Amen, the faithful
and true witness, the beginning of the creation of God.”-REVELATIONS
3:14.
{FN26-9} APHORISMS II:49..
{FN26-10} I CORINTHIANS 15:31. “Our rejoicing” is the correct
translation; not, as usually given, “your rejoicing.” St. Paul was
referring to the OMNIPRESENCE of the Christ consciousness..
{FN26-11} KALPA means time or aeon. SABIKALPA means subject to time
or change; some link with PRAKRITI or matter remains. NIRBIKALPA
means timeless, changeless; this is the highest state of SAMADHI.
{FN26-12} According to the LINCOLN LIBRARY OF ESSENTIAL INFORMATION,
p. 1030, the giant tortoise lives between 200 and 300 years.
{FN26-13} Shakespeare: SONNET #146.
{FN26-14} BHAGAVAD GITA, VI:46.
CHAPTER: 27
FOUNDING A YOGA SCHOOL AT RANCHI
“Why are you averse to organizational work?”
Master’s question startled me a bit. It is true that my private
conviction at the time was that organizations were “hornets’ nests.”
