- In this talk, Swami Kriyananda delves into the profound experience of cosmic consciousness as described by Paramhansa Yogananda in his Autobiography of a Yogi, particularly focusing on the chapter on Samadhi. He explains that achieving oneness with God is the pinnacle of spiritual attainment, a state transcending all earthly identities and limitations.
Kriyananda contrasts various mystics' descriptions of spiritual ascent and underscores Yogananda's unique ability to articulate this highest state. He also discusses the levels of Samadhi-Sabikalpa and Nirvikalpa-and the journey towards becoming a fully liberated being. A concluding inspiring story illustrates the rare compassion of enlightened masters like Yogananda, who choose to return and guide others toward spiritual freedom.
ABOUT SWAMI KRIYANANDA
In 1948 at the age of twenty-two, Swami Kriyananda (J. Donald Walters) became a disciple of the Indian yoga master, Paramhansa Yogananda. Yogananda is best known for his spiritual classic, *Autobiography of a Yogi*.
In his book he recalls his experiences growing up in India and his life in America. He writes of meeting the great spiritual master Babaji, and how Babaji reintroduced the life changing meditation technique of Kriya Yoga. He tells of his life with his guru, Swami Sri Yukteswar Giri, of his guru Lahiri Mahasaya, and his meeting with Anandamayi Ma.
Yogananda moved to America and developed the energization exercises and taught the meditation techniques of Hatha Yoga and especially Kriya Yoga.
At Yogananda’s request, Swami Kriyananda devoted his life to lecturing and writing, helping others to experience the living presence of God within. He taught on four continents in seven languages over the course of 65 years. His talks, his music, and his many books have touched the lives of millions. An advocate of simple living and high thinking, his more than 150 books emphasize the need to live wisely by one’s own experience of life, and not by abstract theories or dogmas. A composer since 1964, Walters has written over 400 musical works. His music is inspiring, soothing, and uplifting.
He taught meditation to thousands and has initiated many into the life changing technique of Kriya Yoga. His books and teachings on spiritualizing nearly every field of human endeavor include business life, leadership, education, the arts, community, and science. He wrote extensive commentaries on the Bible and the Bhagavad Gita, both based on the teachings of Paramhansa Yogananda. He is known as the “father of the intentional communities movement,” which began in the United States in the late 1960s, fulfilling Yogananda's dream. Ananda is a worldwide movement to help individuals realize the joy of their own higher Self.

Some souls are born already completely free, and return just to help humanity - like Jesus, Yogananda, Buddha and others. They are called avatars in the Indian scriptures.
