Meeting Paramahansa Yogananda: His Life, His Devotion, and the Journey Within

By Benson George

Before the world knew him as Paramahansa Yogananda, he was Mukunda-a boy whose longing for God would shape the course of his life.

Meeting Paramahansa Yogananda invites you to follow that life with patience and attention: his childhood in India, his search for a teacher, his years with Sri Yukteswar, and his journey to America.

Benson George brings together the story of the man and an accessible exploration of his spiritual vision. Across eighteen chapters, the book considers devotion, meditation, Kriya Yoga, the relationship between teacher and disciple, and the work of carrying an inward purpose into ordinary life.

At its heart are questions that remain close to us: How can we find stillness amid our responsibilities? What gives devotion its depth? How might a spiritual practice become part of the way we live?

Written with warmth and room for reflection, this independent companion welcomes readers discovering Yogananda for the first time, as well as those who wish to return thoughtfully to his life and teachings.

Historical sources and further reading appear at the end, allowing the chapters to unfold without interruption.

An invitation to know his story-and give your own inner life a little more attention.
