Swami Kriyananda writes here about a number of trends that are destined to bring about hard times socially and economically. More importantly, he shares predictions and prophecies that Paramhansa Yogananda made about challenges that lie before us now, and how best to weather the storm that is brewing on the horizon.In a section called "Forewarned is Forearmed," Kriyananda writes:To try to pierce the veil and peer ahead in time is not always, as people often claim, utterly futile. Present signs often point at least to probable future developments. And especially in critical and insecure times such as these, it behooves us to do what we can to plan ahead intelligently. During other periods of great change in history there have always been men and women of foresight who managed to ride the storms to new heights of success, while others were crushed and broken by calamities for which they were totally unprepared.We are now in the midst of the largest pandemic of our lives due to the coronavirus. While hundreds of thousands of lives will be lost, the virus itself will be tamed relatively soon. But the financial effects will last for years?-?perhaps for decades.The same destructive economic forces that Paramhansa Yogananda and Swami Kriyananda warned about all those years ago are still present today. And they have grown increasingly powerful and dangerous in the intervening years.
What happens as we grow spiritually? Is there a universal process that all spiritual seekers experience on their journey to Self-realization? About 2200 years ago, the Indian spiritual master Patanjali outlined this journey, presenting a clear step-by-step guide for truth seekers and saints to achieve divine union, which he termed "yoga." His profound aphorisms, known as Patanjali's Yoga Sutras, serve as a world scripture. However, many scholarly translations have obscured his insights with convoluted language, making it challenging for readers to grasp his original meaning. Thankfully, modern yoga master Paramhansa Yogananda, author of the classic Autobiography of a Yogi, has clarified Patanjali's teachings. In this work, Swami Kriyananda, a direct disciple of Yogananda, shares his guru's accessible explanations of Patanjali's aphorisms. Kriyananda reveals that during his three and a half years with Yogananda, he received invaluable insights into these sutras and was able to ask questions about various subjects covered by Patanjali. His reflections and teachings have significantly contributed to this book, making the wisdom of Patanjali more approachable for contemporary readers.
