The Universality of Religion in Paramhansa Yogananda’s Writing

Dr. Rohidas Nitonde and Shilpa S. Deshmukh

Sri. Sri. Paramhansa Yogananda

Sri. Sri. Paramhansa Yogananda (5 January 1893 – 7 March 1952) is a mastermind who has sought an abode of peace in heaven, but he survives through his thoughts. His An Autobiography of a Yogi is a major work. Besides his several writings in volumes and speeches, his An Autobiography of a Yogi is very unusual and extraordinary in giving us rich human thought. All unusual, uncommon human experiences which have superhuman touch have been clearly expressed and explained to us. In the modern context, Paramhansa Yogananda is the most powerful voice whose teachings and experiences awaken among the common human beings the spark of spiritual bliss.

Teachings of Paramhansa Yoganandaji

The role of teaching through various channels like books, speeches and discussions are of great significance. Yoganandaji has explained the meaning of religion to the world, not in the traditional sense of defining Godlike infinite omnipresent and omnipotent, but he explained this realisation of God through his personal experience. Paramhansa Yoganandaji practically began his life by bringing India's most ancient treasure of spiritual depth through scientific methods. He did it to explain this to the western world.

The Science of Religion

In 1920, he was invited to the United States as India’s representative to an international conference of world religious readers in Boston. On this occasion, he lectured so wonderfully, and his maiden speech was published soon after as The Science of Religion. Since then, it has been published in several additional languages. This lecture was so potential with meanings used as a reference work in colleges and universities.
