Yogananda at age sixYogananda was born in, into a devout family.According to his younger brother, Sananda, fromhis earliest years young Mukunda's awareness and experience of thespiritual was far beyond the ordinary. In his youth he sought outmany of India's sages andsaints, hoping to find an illuminated teacher to guide him in hisspiritual quest.Yogananda's seeking after various saints mostly ended when hemet his, in 1910, at theage of 17. He describes his first meeting with Yukteswar as arekindling of a relationship that had lasted for manylifetimes:We entered a oneness of silence; words seemed the rankestsuperfluities. Eloquence flowed in soundless chant from heart ofmaster to disciple. With an antenna of irrefragable insight Isensed that my guru knew God, and would lead me to Him.
Theobscuration of this life disappeared in a fragile dawn of prenatalmemories. Dramatic time!
Past, present, and future are its cyclingscenes. This was not the first sun to find me at these holyfeet!Later on Sri Yukteswar informed Yogananda that he had been sentto him by for a specialpurpose.After passing his Intermediate Examination in Arts from the, in June 1915, he graduated with a degree similar to acurrent day 'Bachelor of Arts' or B.A. (which at the time wasreferred to as an A.B.), from the, a constituentcollege of the. Thisallowed him to spend time at Yukteswar's ashram in Serampore. In1915, he took formal vows into the Swami Order andbecame 'Swami Yogananda Giri'.
In1917, Yogananda founded a school for boys in, West Bengal that combined moderneducational techniques withtraining and spiritual ideals. A year later, the school relocatedto. Thisschool would later becomeSociety of India, the Indian branch of Yogananda's Americanorganization.

That same year he founded theto disseminate worldwide his teachings on India's ancient practicesand philosophy of and itstradition of meditation. For the next several years, he lecturedand taught on the East coast and in 1924 embarked on across-continental speaking tour. Thousands came to hislectures.
Thefollowing year, he established in Los Angeles, California, aninternational headquarters for Self-Realization Fellowship, whichbecame the spiritual and administrative heart of his growing work.Yogananda was the first Hindu teacher of yoga to make his permanenthome in America, living there from 1920—1952, with the exception ofhis trip abroad in 1935–1936. Offering sweetmeats to Yogananda.In 1935, he returned to India to visit Yukteswar and to helpestablish his Yogoda Satsanga work in India. During this visit, astold in his autobiography, he met with, theBengali saint,Nobel-winning physicist, and severaldisciples of Yukteswar's Guru. Whilein India, Yukteswar gave Yogananda the monastic title of (the spelling was laterchanged to 'Paramahansa').Paramahansa means 'supreme swan' and is a title indicating thehighest spiritual attainment. In1936, while Yogananda was visiting Kolkata, Sri Yukteswar died inthe town of Puri. DeathAfter returning to America, he continued to lecture, write, andestablish churches in southern California. In the days leading upto his death, he began hinting that it was time for him to leavethe world.
OnMarch 7, 1952, he attended a dinner for the visiting IndianAmbassador to the U.S., and his wife at thein LosAngeles. At the conclusion of the banquet Yogananda spoke of Indiaand America, their contributions to world peace and human progress,and their future cooperation, expressing his hope for a 'United World' thatwould combine the best qualities of 'efficient America' and'spiritual India.' According to two eyewitnesses—long-time disciples and —as Yogananda ended his speech, he read from his poemMy India, concluding with the words 'Where Ganges, woods,Himalayan caves, and men dream God—I am hallowed; my body touchedthat sod'. Atthe very last words, he slid to the floor, dead from a heart attack.Kriyananda wrote that Yogananda had once stated in a lecture, 'Aheart attack is the easiest way to die.
That is how I choose todie.' Yogananda is buried at the in Glendale,California. Paramahansa Yogananda at a yoga class in Washington, D.C.Yogananda taught his students the need for direct experience oftruth, as opposed to blind belief.
He said that “The true basis ofreligion is not belief, but intuitive experience. Is the soul’s power ofknowing God. To know what religion is really all about, one mustknow God.”Echoing traditionalteachings, he taught that the entire universe is God's cosmicmotion picture, and that individuals are merely actors in thedivine play who change roles through reincarnation. He taught thatmankind's deep suffering is rooted in identifying too closely withone's current role, rather than with the movie's director, orGod.He taught and other meditation practices to help people achieve thatunderstanding, which he called:Self-realization is the knowing in all parts of body, mind, andsoul that you are now in possession of the kingdom of God; that youdo not have to pray that it come to you; that God’s omnipresence isyour omnipresence; and that all that you need to do is improve yourknowing.

Because of ancient yogicinjunctions, 'the actual technique must be learned from aKriyaban or Kriya Yogi', according toYogananda.
Hegave a general description of Kriya Yoga in his Autobiography:The Kriya Yogi mentally directs his life energy to revolve,upward and downward, around the six spinal centers (medullary,cervical, dorsal, lumbar, sacral, and coccygeal plexuses) whichcorrespond to the twelve astral signs of the zodiac, the symbolicCosmic Man. One-half minute of revolution of energy around thesensitive spinal cord of man effects subtle progress in hisevolution; that half-minute of Kriya equals one year of naturalspiritual unfoldment.
