Awake Minute 24: Wait, was that my Guru?

This minute depicts the monumental moment from the life of Paramahansa Yogananda: the meeting with his Guru Sri Yukteswar. We take the time to really set the scene to ensure maximum impact: discuss his difficult time in the ashram with Swami Dayananda, the receipt and disappearance of mysterious astral Amulet. The artistic cinematography of that moment is discussed, and the reasons for the intriguing omission of certain elements from the Autobiography vs the film. Have you ever had a sign, a sign that tells you the way you should go at certain pivotal moments of your life? We pondered this Alchemist-esque metaphysical conundrum. 0:59 Summary of the minute; 2:02 The Amulet; 13:08 Mukunda's experiences at Dyananda's Mahamandal ashram; 21:17 Guruji's state of mind before meeting his Guru; 28:16 Which way should you go in life?; 46:44 The fabled meeting; 52:34 What is the promise?; 56:09 Recognising past acquaintances; 59:59 Om; 1:04:35 Meditation posture and flow of energy.
