Paramahansa Yogananda on the Message of Bhagavan Krishna
Welcome to the August 2020 edition of the Yogoda Satsanga Society of India eNewsletter. Janmashtami, the celebration of the birth of Bhagavan Krishna, occurs on August 11 this year. In honour of this beloved avatar, we share words of Paramahansa Yogananda on Sri Krishna’s life and message.
Sri Krishna's message in the Bhagavad Gita is the perfect answer for the modern age, and any age: Yoga of dutiful action, of nonattachment, and of meditation for God-realization. To work without the inner peace of God is Hades; and to work with His joy ever bubbling through the soul is to carry a portable paradise within, wherever one goes.
The greatest love you can experience is in communion with God in meditation. The love between the soul and Spirit is the perfect love, the love you are all seeking. When you meditate, love grows. Millions of thrills pass through your heart....If you strive to love all and to meditate more deeply, there will come into your life such love as you never dreamed possible. That is the love that Krishna gave, and that Jesus Christ expressed for all of his disciples.
Paramahansa Yogananda expounds the message of Bhagavan Krishna with consummate depth and clarity in God Talks With Arjuna, his translation of and commentary on the Bhagavad Gita. We invite you to read excerpts on the YSS website.
