Mejda: The Family and the Early Life of Paramahansa Yogananda (Self-Realization Fellowship)

Was skeptical about the book thinking his brother might use Yogananda’s fame for his own benefit. SO pleased to report that the stories seem to be from the heart and for the benefit of Yogananda’s cause. Such a joy to learn more about the man and feel closer to the saint!

I received this in the mail and was immediately engrossed in the reading, feeling like I was reading about a beloved friend. I felt like I'd known Yogananda thru all his other books (Autobiography, Self-Realization Volumes, and Scientific Healing Affirmations), so "Mejda" proved to offer valuable insight to his background and life.What I learned in this book:Yogananda has always had deep love and affection for all animals since a young child.He had difficulty containing his anger and would express his feelings passionately and vocally. In his other books he talked about eliminating his anger as he got older.He was a yogi since he was conscious as a baby, but then, he was always conscious inbetween incarnations.He had a powerful relationship with God in that God would manifest to him even when he was a young child.He was so curious that he started dabbling in various supernatural practices. (I can relate to this!)He yearned for God terribly and felt very ostracized (was bullied) as he was so different from other boys.He was a sensitive and passionate young boy, yet he began his guru-ship early as other boys interested in the same thing would follow him.Thank you, Sananda, brother of Yogananda, for giving us your precious insight into a beloved Yogi.

Love anything about Paramahansa Yogananda! This biography is a heartfelt tribute from his younger brother, who was also an artist of some repute. He has documented his brother’s life and lovingly included family photos as well as some of his artistic renderings of the great yogi-saint.

this is one of my favorite books. It tells of Yogandanda's early years and the many events and miracles he left out of his own book. The way it was written , was much more interesting to read than the previous. In fact, I could not finish Autobiograph,I had to get it on audiobook, because the writing style was so boring for me. I love this book.

One of the best books ever! Top three of my favorites, next to God Talks With Arjuna, and The Second Coming of Christ...the only three books you will ever need! The seller delivered it quickly and in brand new condition. I'm very happy with this purchase!

Great insights

I am very grateful to have yet another source of accurate, additional information and insights regarding this great Soul. Written by his devoted brother who passed away just before publication. Thank you! Wonderful photos too.
