Awake Minute 69: I am become Death, the destroyer of Worlds (sic)

Season 1 · Episode 69

Monday, September 26, 2022 • Duration 51:24

Living in spiritual communities would certainly be supportive to our sadhana but do we really need to go down this extreme social lifestyle vs living the “householder Yogi” norm, does an adequate spiritual community even exist? The discovery of atomic bomb and the Atomic Age was predicted by Paramahansa Yogananda and the other great ones and we discuss how this is related to the human race’s own Yuga story (Chris again!). Oppenheimer's famous, moving speech about the Atom bomb heavily referenced (and made even more famous) the Bhagavad Gita, we discuss the ramifications of the use of that lethal weapon in Japan all those decades ago. We also discuss how Oppenheimer’s own translation of that verse (11-32) varies substantially to Guruji’s in God Talks with Arjuna. 0:00 Summary of minute; 7:39 Living in spiritual communities; 19:00 Atomic bomb; 35:09 I am become Death - The Gita's vision of visions; 49:42 'Fun with flags'.

Awake Minute 68: To serve, scribe and strive for Guruji

Season 1 · Episode 68

Tuesday, September 20, 2022 • Duration 56:31

The Autobiography of a Yogi was a phenomenally influential work which is still the most popular route to devotees taking refuge in Kriya Yoga as taught by Paramahansa Yogananda. Guruji also wrote many other books (God Talks with Arjuna, Second Coming of Christ and the lessons), numbering many thousands of pages, Tara Mata, Daya Mata and Mrinalini Mata have their seva stretched to the limit in typing the truth for us future devotees. We discuss how this process would have been transformative their own sadhana as well as professional skills! 0:00 Meet Michael; 6:00 Summary of minute; 7:40 Keeping a spiritual blog; 10:59 Autobiography of a Yogi; 20:11 Which Guru is most important? 31:40 Paramahansa Yogananda's vast bibliography; 45:00 Being a scribe for Guruji; 53:21 Images used in the minute. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paramahansa_Yogananda_bibliography

Awake Minute 67: Pranam Sri Mrinalini Mata

Season 1 · Episode 67

Monday, September 12, 2022 • Duration 49:28

We discuss the benefits of experiencing your body as stone, consciousness and light, as expounded by Paramahansa Yogananda in this minute. We also reflect on what Asana/posture would be most conducive for this experience. Brother Chidananda talks about the importance of Yogananda’s writings during this time (after returning from India in 1936) and how Sri Mrinalini Mata was crucial in this respect, we recollect some the most moving moments from her memorial service. Guruji’s writings in English are just as powerful as ancient Sanskrit mantras to devotees around the world, encapsulating the famous quote: “When I am gone, the teachings will be the Guru”. 0:00 Hopes and dreams; 3:31 Summary of Minute; 5:06 The "New" Lessons; 9:54 Guruji and meditating with body "as if like stone"; 22:42 Master's Great Samadhi; 28:18 Mrinalini Mata.

Season 1 · Episode 64

Tuesday, August 23, 2022 • Duration 58:09

Paramahansa Yogananda shares some optimistic reflections on how to consider home as anywhere and everywhere. Our guest Lauren joins us to discuss what this means for us, using the apt example of the lovely Cosmic Chant “Divine Gypsy”.

Awake Minute 63: Sri Yukteswar’s Mahasamadhi and Resurrection

Season 1 · Episode 63

Tuesday, August 16, 2022 • Duration 01:17:11

The Mahasamadhi of Sri Yukteswar has an intriguing background, we share the stories and sequence of events as covered by Paramahansa Yogananda in the Autobiography of a Yogi, as well as the last moments they shared together. Was it right for the producers to include the scenes of Sri Yukteswar’s soul-free frame? The documentary only hints at Yogananda's experience of Sri Yukteswar’s resurrection, we fill in the gaps and also reflect on our experiences of death within our own families. A minute to stop, think deeply and savour our journey of life. 0:00 Preamble; 1:37 Summary of minute; 3:54 Sri Yukteswar gives Yogananda signs; 10:20 God's to help us to deal with death; 23:50 Scenes from the minute and handing of Sri Yukteswar's body; 32:03 Guruji's vision and images of him conducting the ancient Hindu rites; 41:20 The resurrection as depicted in the film; 45:05 The priceless pearls from resurrection chapter in the Autobiography of a Yogi.

Awake Minute 62: Pranam Anandamayi Ma

Season 1 · Episode 62

Monday, August 8, 2022 • Duration 01:10:08

Paramahansa Yogananda dedicates a whole chapter of his Autobiography to Anandamayi Ma. In this minute we only have a small glimpse of their divine tryst, but as a picture tells a thousand words, so we thought it only right to elucidate our experience of this beautiful moment in our Guru’s history. The narrator reflects that Paramahansa Yogananda had no ‘attraction’ to return to America, but if he had actually followed through, how would the world have been different for us devotees? The narrator also speaks of Krishna and the Jamuna river, reminding us of Master’s cosmic chant: My Krishna is Blue. Will Mike or Chris take the hint and finally don their chanting voices? 0:00 Meet Padmini; 11:09 Anandamayi Ma; 23:55 Being near her in Samadhi; 47:59 What if Guruji did not go back to America in 1936?; 58:56 Krishna's India and that famous Tamal Tree; 1:07:07 Pictures used in the minute.
