Paramahamsa Hariharananda

If one meditates always on the Lord, all his other works are taken care of by the Lord Himself.

Lahiri Mahasaya

Lord Krishna... proclaims Self-realization, true wisdom, as the highest branch of all human knowledge-the king of all sciences, the very essence of dharma ("religion")-for it alone permanently uproots the cause of man's threefold suffering and reveals to him his true nature of Bliss. Self-realization is yoga or "oneness" with truth-the direct perception or experience of truth by the all-knowing intuitive faculty of the soul.

Paramahamsa Yogananda

The Bhagavad-Gita is where God Himself talks to His devotee Arjuna.

People are running, running, but there is no place in the world to which they can flee to escape themselves.

Paramahamsa Yogananda

Mind should not be made outward. What's the benefit if the mind and the eyes are tranquil and not the body? Today, the breath does not come out, and a lot of addictions are generated.

Lahiri Mahasaya

If death were the end, then there is no God, and there are no realised masters - it is all a pack of lies. The great ones wouldn't urge you to became better, for what would be the use if, good or bad, we are all junked at the end of life? What would be the value of the scriptures? There would be no justice whatsoever if this present existence is all there is to each individual life. What of those souls who lived only a few years, or lived in blind or crippled bodies?

Paramahamsa Yogananda

Paramahamsa Yogananda

By the practice of Pranayama, ignorance is dispelled and Knowledge of the Self reveals.

I am calmly active, actively calm. I am the prince of peace sitting on a throne of poise, directing the kingdom of my activity.

Paramahamsa Hariharananda

Just as the sun and its energy are one, Brahman and the elements are also one.

Paramahamsa Prajnanananda

Don't depend on death to liberate you from your imperfections...

Paramahamsa Yogananda

Although He is formless, God said He made us in His image. We live as form, but the body has a formless counterpart. Behind this visible body there is the presence of the invisible soul.

Paramahamsa Hariharananda

If one moves the breath (practices Pranayama) always, breath ceases and becomes tranquil, sthira.
