Autobiography Chapter 10, Part 4: The Wisdom of Fasting

Yogananda Podcast

This episode covers the next part of chapter 10 to:
“With doubled zest I awaited...”
to
“...this lesson in a Banaras hermitage!”

Mukunda is shaken up by the austerity of Swami Dayananda attitude toward food, life and God. Fasting must be an important part of spirituality for Paramahansa Yogananda to use his own example and expound the timeless eastern philosophy by covering so many pages on the topic. Swami Dayananda uses a small flaw in young Mukunda’s temperament to churn out more essential training for him, and by extension: us.

30:59 The Tao;
