Dear Friend,
When you notice how small our modern world has become, how comparatively close we all are now, do you wonder how we are all meant to get along? Paramahansa Yogananda said that the Divine has given each country’s people “some special aptitude, some unique genius, with which they may make a distinctive contribution to the world civilization.”
India, in the persons of Paramahansa Yogananda and other enlightened souls, has given with open hands something precious of itself to the world family: the priceless gift of yoga.
SRF’s president and spiritual head, Brother Chidananda, said while speaking in India in 2017: “India for millennia has been the steward of highest spiritual truth for all humanity. And it was the special dispensation of Paramahansaji to bring the best of India first to the West and then to the world, including back to his beloved India.
“He reached back to the higher ages, the golden age of India’s high civilization, and brought the essence of India’s universal spirituality in its pure form. That is yoga. It is a science, not a denomination or a sect of religion; and because of that, this spiritual dispensation — the light of yoga — can be a truly worldwide spiritual blessing on humanity as a whole.”
No matter where you live, you can put the universal science of India into practice daily — to illuminate more of the hope and peace and joy that is always within you. If you are ready to receive that gift, read on!
