Sri Yukteswar (1855-1935) was a disciple of Lahiri Mahasaya, and Yogananda’s guru. He was an “incarnation of wisdom” with a keen intellect and discrimination.
In Autobiography of a Yogi, Paramhansa Yogananda describes his guru as follows:
He fitted the Vedic definition of a man of God. ‘Softer than the flower where kindness is concerned’ stronger than thunder, where principles are at stake.’ He taught by sublimity of example alone the true measure of a man.
Read Yoganandaji’s touching account of the last days of Sri Yukteswar, described in Autobiograhy of a Yogi.
Join this devotional evening of chanting and meditation with Ananda monks.
About Ananda Monastery
The Ananda Monastic Order is the monks and nuns of Ananda Sangha, who have renounced worldly life and dedicated their lives wholly to seeking and serving God. Without marriage and family duties, Ananda monastics can be more fully dedicated to a life of meditation and sadhana, or daily spiritual practice. As part of their sadhana, they actively serve in helping to spread the teachings of Paramhansa Yogananda. The Ananda Monastic Order was created in 1971.
In India, the new Ananda Khandala Monastery was set up last year, in 2018. The monks are actively serving through the development of online courses, group meditation, healing prayers, and various outreach activities.
