Paramhansa Yogananda and Swami Kriyananda: The Role of the Disciple

This talk explores the profound relationship between Paramhansa Yogananda and his disciple Swami Kriyananda, highlighting the disciple's role in the divine mission of a great master. It delves into the dual nature of an avatar's life—embracing worldly limitations while living in God’s bliss—and how the soul’s call draws such masters to uplift humanity. Through Swami Kriyananda’s example, we find the disciple’s responsibility to attune to the master’s consciousness, balancing outward activity with deep inner communion. Ultimately, it is through self-offering and inward attunement that we create the "inner Himalayan cave" where divine union becomes possible.
