\"Swami<\/a>
Swami Kriyananda with Dr. M. W. Lewis, Paramhansa Yogananda\u2019s first disciple in America, and vice president of Self-Realization Fellowship (SRF).<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

\u00a0<\/strong>I had the blessing to be in Swami Kriyananda\u2019s presence many times over the years, <\/strong>though we never had an outward relationship such as he enjoyed with friends who had given their lives unreservedly to the work, and who had doubtless done so in many former lives: Jyotish and Devi, Asha, Vidura, Durga, and others.<\/p>\n

Mostly, I received his help from afar.<\/p>\n

Swamiji was keenly interested in finding ways to use technology to help spread the teachings. In the mid-1990s, he seized upon an innovative way to keep in touch with the Ananda members around the world. He would record a talk and mail videocassettes to the centers where the congregation could watch them after Sunday service.<\/p>\n

I didn\u2019t watch any of the videos, until a Sunday when I felt an inner guidance to do so.<\/p>\n

A TV was set up on a table in a classroom. Perhaps thirty people sat in folding chairs. I took a seat on the far left side of the room.<\/p>\n

Several days earlier, while driving down Alma Street in Palo Alto, I had fretted over a seeming contradiction in the spiritual teachings.<\/p>\n

Ananda friends for whom I had great respect would say how \u201cexcited\u201d or \u201centhusiastic\u201d they were about something \u2013 a project, news of Swamiji, or the latest tidings from the Ananda centers.<\/p>\n

I wondered if being excited and enthusiastic was consistent with Paramhansa Yogananda\u2019s advice to us to be always \u201ceven-minded and cheerful.\u201d<\/p>\n

Swamiji counseled us to be calmly centered in ourselves, and not give in to emotional reactions.<\/p>\n

He urged us to relate to the world from within, in keeping with Yogananda\u2019s counsel to him: \u201cAlways remain in the spine.\u201d Yet the people who were closest to him seemed the most joyful and enthusiastic.<\/p>\n

I thought, \u201cYoga says that we can\u2019t be really enthusiastic about anything<\/em>, lest we risk becoming emotional and outward. Yet Swamiji tells us to be enthusiastic about everything<\/em>. What\u2019s up with that?\u201d<\/p>\n

Fast forward to Sunday morning. The video started, and no sooner had Swamiji begun to speak than he said, \u201cOn the spiritual path, you can<\/em> be enthusiastic!\u201d He proceeded to elaborate on how we can be calmly<\/em> enthusiastic and share our enthusiasm with God, and how it\u2019s very good to be enthusiastic about helping others.<\/p>\n

As he spoke, his eyes were turned to his right, where I sat. He seemed to be looking into my eyes.<\/p>\n

Swamiji\u2019s expression was bemused, as if he were thinking, \u201cNow, isn\u2019t this quite the joke.\u201d<\/p>\n

I thought, \u201cThis is really weird. He seems to be talking to me.\u201d But then I thought, \u201cIt\u2019s probably just my ego, craving his attention.\u201d<\/p>\n

I stood up and walked to the opposite side of the room and sat down.<\/p>\n

Swamiji then addressed another question that had been troubling me \u2013 I forget what it was, but he turned and looked straight into my eyes as he spoke. When he\u2019d finished giving his counsel, he looked straight ahead.<\/p>\n

I have no doubt that the experience was real. I\u2019ve had too many experiences of Swamiji\u2019s unbounded consciousness not to be persuaded. I\u2019ll share some of those stories as we go along.<\/p>\n

Swamiji often said that no distance can separate the disciple from the guru. His counsel is available everywhere, even half a world away, and even if his advice must be delivered by \u201ctaped delay.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
