  Imagine That! 08.10.2026 9m

  Our rational minds might immediately object: “But Devi doesn’t speak twelve languages.” Yet dreams are the soul’s way of touching the astral world. Across all our past incarnations, who is to say how many languages we have spoken? Dreams have the power to change a life. Let me share two of my own.

  Our True Potential 23.09.2026 8m

  Devi and I recently gave a talk to a standing-room-only audience of nearly seven hundred people in Delhi. It was called “How to Achieve Your Highest Potential,” a vital subject for all seekers, whether new or experienced. I thought you might enjoy exploring some of the themes we discussed.

  Journey of a Lifetime 18.09.2026 11m

  Escaping from Prison 11.09.2026 8m

  There is no release except by going within and finding spiritual freedom. Yogananda incarnated to show us how to escape our cells, and gave us meditation, service to others, and right attitude—the tools we can use to open our prison’s doors. If we employ them well, we will come to realize that we were confined by nothing but the fears and limits of our own minds.

  The Magic Cloth 04.09.2026 9m

  Recently I had two experiences that helped me understand the hidden truths in his words. The first occurred one night after a disturbing dream in which people were treating me cruelly and abusively. At first I felt agitated and upset, but then the verse came into my mind, and I thought, “These are just past memories that you’re weaving into a dream.

  Proof of Things Unseen 20.08.2026 9m

• 
  Wisdom-Born Intuition 13.08.2026 9m

  Here is the method Paramhansa Yogananda recommends for developing wisdom-guided intuition: When you have the urge to do something that might be unwise, stop for a moment and mentally list the reasons you shouldn’t do it. If you do this, he says, you will gradually develop your intuition, and then you will be guided by your inborn wisdom.

  Devotee, Beware! 07.08.2026 11m

  The Age of Miracles 23.07.2026 9m

  Miracles are happening around us all the time; we simply need to open our eyes to see God’s constant presence in our lives. In the past week alone, two friends shared with me extraordinary experiences of their own.

  The Leap of Faith 14.07.2026 8m

  Can’t many of us relate to his yearning, where a life without God no longer holds our interest, where unfulfilled desires no longer motivate us? If we haven’t yet reached the state where we are ready to take the final leap of faith, we can at least see that high state shining on the horizon. We feel intuitively that, if we keep trying, we can reach it in this incarnation, or before many more have passed. After all, Swami Kriyananda told us that we should all try to be jivan muktas in this life.

  As we sat by the river each day to meditate in the early dawn hours, we began to feel that the Mississippi is a conscious being with much to teach us.

  Riding the Wave of Grace 02.07.2026 7m

  How do we hold on to the inspiration we experienced during those precious days? This question implies broader vistas—how do we hold on to the inspiration of a particularly deep meditation, an uplifting sensation, or a peak experience?
• 
  The Power of Thy Light 26.06.2026 8m

  By the time you read this, dear friend, we will already be well into the Centennial Celebration week at Ananda Village. The week preceding the event has been its own inspiration, with volunteers coming from all over the world to help prepare for the arrival of the guests. I’ve been mentally sharing with Swamiji all the remarkable things we’ve been witnessing, and I thought I’d write him a letter with these reflections...
• 
  The Art of Friendship 18.06.2026 8m

  How did Swamiji radiate this magical quality of divine friendship, and how can we follow in his footsteps?

  Miracles—Big and Small 03.06.2026 8m

  We live in a sea of miracles, though we recognize only the big ones and ignore the small ones. In fact, most people can accept only the big ones as true miracles at all. One of these occurred with Swami Kriyananda, and we have several woven together in the tapestry of life that were smaller, but nevertheless, amazing in their unfolding.
