Awake Minute 26: The Brahmachari Life

Life in Sri Yukteswar's hermitage for Mukunda (Paramahansa Yogananda) was hard work! In this episode we discuss what it would have been like to live the brahmacharya life of an aspiring yogi, striving to know God. Even though Sri Yukteswar had a disciplinarian style of teaching, there were plenty of fascinating stories over the ten-year period Mukunda spent in the hermitage, till the time he joined the ancient swami order. 0:00 Priyank's pilgrimage; 1:24 Summary of minute; 3:26 Joy giving chores; 9:27 Sri Yukteswar's style of training; 15:30 Pictures used in the minute; 19:27 What was Sri Yukteswar like?; 29:50 Meditating in strange places and moments; 36:56 Our favourite elements of the training Guruji received; 51:10 The condition Guruji places on Sri Yukteswar.  Priyank's pilgrimage vlogs: https://fb.watch/bEG6tF37G3/ https://fb.watch/bEG7QHS2mj/
