from Treasures Along the Path · host Swami Kriyananda

5/6/1974Rajarshi Janakananda was the foremost disciple of Paramhansa Yogananda.Rajarshi was a self-made millionaire who became a saint by daily meditation and deep devotion. He carried out his worldly affairs with the thought of God.There is no excuse for not doing a good job for whatever we set out to do.Rajarsi saw all things as a part of God.  He put God first. He was a saint first and a businessman second.He meditated long hours each morning.  Once he was asked, ‘How can you afford to meditate most of the morning and get to work late each day?’ He replied, ‘I can’t afford not to meditate long hours.’Rajarshi understood that everywhere you go, and at all times you can carry on the Divine Romance.He never thought of himself as having anything to offer. He never thought of himself as having anything to do. It was always God and Guru doing it through him.To support this work, go to: https://www.ananda.org/support/treasures/
