Yogananda, Paramahansa, 1893-1952

"Autobiography of a Yogi"

I, by Prof. Surendranath DasGupta (Cambridge
University Press, 1922).
{FN24-6} Not to be confused with the "Noble Eightfold Path" of
Buddhism, a guide to man's conduct of life, as follows (1) Right
Ideals, (2) Right Motive, (3) Right Speech, (4) Right Action, (5)
Right Means of Livelihood, (6) Right Effort, (7) Right Remembrance
(of the Self), (8) Right Realization (SAMADHI).
{FN24-7} Dr. Jung attended the Indian Science Congress in 1937 and
received an honorary degree from the University of Calcutta.
{FN24-8} Dr. Jung is here referring to HATHA YOGA, a specialized

{FN24-9} In Plato's TIMAEUS story of Atlantis, he tells of
the inhabitants' advanced state of scientific knowledge. The lost
continent is believed to have vanished about 9500 B.C. through a
cataclysm of nature; certain metaphysical writers, however, state
that the Atlanteans were destroyed as a result of their misuse of
atomic power. Two French writers have recently compiled a BIBLIOGRAPHY
OF ATLANTIS, listing over 1700 historical and other references.

BROTHER ANANTA AND SISTER NALINI
"Ananta cannot live; the sands of his karma for this life have run
out."
These inexorable words reached my inner consciousness as I sat one
morning in deep meditation.
