Awake Minute 76: Paramahansa Yogananda prepares for Mahasamadhi

This minute provides an apt climax that sets the background for Paramahansa Yogananda's glorious Mahasamadhi and emphatic (conscious) exit from the body. We discuss the background to this momentous occasion with the Indian ambassador Dr Sen's beautiful impressions of SRF and the incredible story of Daya Mata's prior knowledge of what was to transpire. Swami Kriyananda's inclusion in this film would have raised some eyebrows from audiences, our discussion offers more information about him and the Ananda Sangha organisation that he created, to which our guest Nirmal belongs. 0:00 Meet Nirmal and hear about his unique journey; 13:05 Summary of Minute; 14:36 The Ambassador Dr Sen; 23:53 Daya Mata hearing about the events to come; 38:33 Images used in the minute; 42:15 Swami Kriyananda; 48:39 Stalin, Atheism, Theism, Evil and the cycle of Samsara; 57:14 Ananda Sangha.
