How strange to hear this message of comfort. I have had this crazy recurring Vision haunt me for over 10 years. To build my own community. For techs artists musicians. Off grid. Teaching meditation. I surrendered my crazy dream yesterday during the 4.8.24 Eclipse Portal. Coincidentally, I keep a copy of 1946 Autobiography of a Yogi next to my bed, along side the big worn copy of Coleman Barks Soul of Rumi, quelling my exasperations of human foibles with 800 year old humor & poetry, and the frayed Steven Mitchell translation of the Bhagavad Gita, from whom 8 refrains a day typically tame my big ego for the first few hours of the day. The magnitude of my ideas are so large I simply surrendered as just a great dream for now, but on my Vision Board is a box with a 9-figure dollar number, and to the right of it, a drawing of my Community Building, next to the organic farm, trees, hills, and heliport. 22h later this pops into my queue. Perhaps spirit is interested in working through us now to plant the seeds. A good start. ❤️🌙”I just have not yet succeeded”. Many years ago in 1964, my Guru Sri Brahmananda Sarasvati (Dr Mishra) told, in one of the Anniversary books I frequently received over the years, told how he, Marvin & Joan Suval drove from NYC where he founded the Yoga Soc of NY in 1958, to Harriman NY to purchase a large parcel of land which would become the Ananda Ashram. Marvin asked him “but Gurugi how are we to make the ($3,800 monthly payments?) . To which he replied, something on the order of… “if it succeeds, they will come”. 💁‍♀️4.9.2024 🕉️☯️💜Namaste MB

My favorite story teller Kriyananda. Perhaps not the favorite but comes close! Yes.we all can be gathered around the fireplace wishing for more can't we? A desire, ah oh, best keep that to myself! Yogananda knows our best desire be transfixed on God, the fulfillment of our souls. May the Joy of God increase in your lives.

Why do one have to come back to earth after death? If I am everything (the source, the all seeing, God ect...) why are someone else like a spiritual leader or anything deciding that i have to go back to earth, forget everything i learned just to start over again. This dosnt make sense to me, if i have free will and i am everything already, why am i sending myself in this eternal loop of learning when i already know? To me it sounds like a spiritual hierarchy which in initself goes against free will.

I dont mean this ramble to be negative in any way, I'm just very interested in these topics and curious

I just love to see and hear soothe every nerve

This literally means everyone gets the parents they deserve.

No bugs in “Heaven”. Or rather, no pests. Seriously? Human bias is a common problem. What creature is destroying our environment, perpetrating untold numbers of evils, and deludes itself? It’s quite possible that HUMANS don’t exist in Heaven or higher plains or whatever you wish to think of as existing after death. Think about it. Are humans qualified to judge?…to judge God’s creation?…to determine what’s allowed in God’s house? I remember many past lives. ‘Can’t say being human is the top of the list. In fact, there is no top of the list. Every life is of equal value. The point is to love the life you’re living, and to love all life as yourself. God does. Peace and love 🙏🏼

The Zoo hypothesis tends to resonate with me.. hat humans may have been a product of alien tinkering.. bringing the moon, seeding the planet, monitoring the life, tweaking dna to get more evolved humans, etc..

From our dimension, the spirit world and the higher-dimension world(s) are indistinguishable. In the latter, there's no gods, but there are beings that are communicating and trying to help humans (see the Scole and EVP research).

So how does reincarnation and aliens work? For example, when one dies, what prevents you from coming back into one of the lighter, higher-consciousness beings that seem live in a higher dimension?

Is there a point when all souls merge with the one-ness, and there is no "life" or does the one-ness then splinter itself to start the process all-over? And how is that the one-ness requires all of its parts to evolve.. sounds kinda strange.

fraud yogis.
Fake lying peeps.
Everywhere.

I strongly suggest this man who is very genuine at heart and I respect . he should look up " ishwar puri" on path of radha soami. The 5 thieves your talking about only leave the body at inner state called " trikuti" moon stage. The " suksham" body or " asral" .body is where the senses originate from not physical. A guru can only take a deciple as far as he himself gone . there are 6 chakras but another 12 above eye centre which only a very few saints offer a very rare guru in the world. Good job love listening to you

What about animals?

Amazing teaching.

It is important that you know there will be no more money made on human lives. It stops now people will receive the medical attention that they need. Whether it be a broken toe are open heart transplant. Let it be known your loved ones will receive the care that they need.
There will be education for all that seek to better their lives. Education is the foundation for a better brighter future for anyone that is willing. therefore if you apply yourself you will be able to attend any college you desire.
Pollution will stop. There will be no more the depletion of our natural resources. Meaning we will become 100% green energy country there will be a future for our children and our children's children. I will not only put an end to big oil. I will be taking down all nuclear power plants. This will not only insure our future.  It will create millions of new jobs and bring in a new era of technical jobs that pay.
The time has come to take the drugs off the street.  There's no reason for children to be subjected to things like drugs. In this day and age they have enough on their plate. It is it's time we help people that have a drug problem. We can't keep filling the jails with our mothers, fathers, brothers, sisters, aunts and uncles. Doing this has not been nor will ever be a solution it is only dragging us down as a nation.
At the end of the day be assured that your hard work was not in vain. You will keep what you earn. The days of paying income tax on your hard work or over. The wages of yesterday will not support the needs of today therefore you will be earning a fair wage that will support you and your family.
I will impose a flat tax on everything we buy. Excluding food and food products.
I will take the federal government out of play on the issue with marijuana.  I will ask that all states legalize and tax it appropriately.  At the same time giving an average individual the chance to own and operate a dispensary. The days of a few Monopolizing an industry are over.
I intend to turn every home in America into it's own power plant.
Giving every American a chance to have a little more. 
It's time that we take control of our government.  I intend to cut government by half.  There is no need to to employ lazy criminals/politicians.  American's have to work everyday. Therefore so should the politicians we employ. 
As for the bad men of the world you are done. There will be no more terrorizing people. Anywhere. My first day in office will be dealing  with the  chaos that has taken  place in our country.  I guarantee everyone will return to their homes willingly. War will end and the killing will stop. There will be WORLD peace. ......................... VOTE for The AMERICAN PARTY. ... ... ............

... There Is An Aspect Of Death Or A Near Death Experience (NDE) That Wasn't Addressed And That Is What Has Been Called The "Life Review" ... As The Self Leaves The Body It "Seems" To Move Into A "Sense" Of A Dark Tunnel With A "Sense" Of Light In That Darkness Which Eventually Becomes An Indescribable Surrounding "LoveLight" ... Before Being Enveloped By The Light, The Life Of The Individual Is Again Relived ... Everything Of Judgement Good Or Bad Let's Say, As Good And Bad Is Judgement ... Everything Experienced That Is Not Of Love From "One's View" Is Reviewed From Self To Self, Self To Others, And Others To Others Until It No Longer Holds Any Consequence In The Wave And Spiraling Circle Effect For Anyone Or Anything ... You Feel What You Felt As Well As What Everyone Else Felt Down The Wave And Spiraling Circle Right Down To Their Behaviors That Were Affected ... It Continues Until Nothing But Love, Understanding Forgiveness And Wisdom Of Love Is Re-Birthed For Self And Every Person And Similar Experience Everywhere Involved Throughout All Existence And Time, Dimensions etc., ... All The Love Caring Respect ect., One Experiences In The Same Wave And Spiraling Effect Is Experienced And Relived As Well Until All That Has Been "Reborn Of Love" Is Once Again A Part Of The Divine Eternal Love ... Upon A Return ... At Least For Me (difficult to explain) ... I Was Not A "Me" "I" Or "Self" Until A Point Of Some "Sense Of Seeming" Of An Entry More As A "Quality Of LifeLove" And That Quality Was "Honesty" As Any Aspect Of A Me, Self' Or I ... If There Was "ThoughtQuestion" I Was Already The Answer ... It Was Both Flow And Static With An Aliveness And Loveness Beyond My Own Comprehension And Explanation ...

... I Need To Say Hear That A Near Death Experience (NDE) Where A Person Dies Or Almost Dies And Has A Version Of The Experience Just Explained The First Letters Are Capitalized ... When The Experience Is A Close Call Of A Possible Death And They Have A Spiritual Awakening It Is A near death experience or nde, all small letters ...

What?! Satanic powers. Ok. I thought this might be a decent channel but you're full of crap like most.

Who’s watching in 2020?

Lord I’d love to slip into mahasamahdi and go to Sri Yukteswar.

I guess what I’m trying to say is that sitting in meditation is simply practice for living in meditation.

Exalted states are available everywhere and even more at times when listening to someone like Kriyanada speak or in community with spiritually like minded persons or in kirtan type singing and afterwards at the end of the day to find the longing lying on one’s back in bed to travel the path to the spiritual eye and to commune and share these things in spirit in thought and in feeling with God.

So if u r a good person ,serving the society and dont practice yoga and dont have time for it will that affect ur post death journey or nirvana?

And if a bad person masters kriya yoga will that being without change of character will that person gain nirvana?

i tried to message you..may i contribute to you in any way? I have been bad my life. I used to be Christian but, I left. I have done so much bad. Can I change possibly and not go to hell? if so, how? Plz sir. Everyday I am getting more and more closer to ending my life...i dont want to. I dopped religion because in one, if you believe, the other points finger and says you're going tohell, and so on..I'm to be 50 next month. disabled. live alone. have no family or friends.. I contribute to homeless but also will give donation to know if I can start over, and where / how do I do these things. Thank you so much. Blessings

Deveta are not on the levels of Angels...they are actual Gods . forms of. brahman manifested in forms that humans can percieve and pray to. This is my understanding

ha ha ha why take a story from magazine ? are you a Yogi who knows from inside ?
death is a transformation...nothing to be scared of. stop sayingbgood and bad karmas and scaring ppl

SEEMS SO NICE.

How do u know ? I have my own story ? I have more logical answer. You are just an instance  ( thread ) of the Zion Server. You know everything every person who lived. Everything Zion knows. 

Zion is UNIVERSAL server ( you can say Quantum Computer ) Network is Quantum Entanglement

I am the god of death. Check out my picture.

PRANAM swamiji. Your voice is full of love & affection. <3

My desire is to die why should I be grateful to god or the creator when I don't want to exist some see life as a curse than a blessing. If god is all powerful he must be able to destroy my soul my true essence. I hope that the afterlife isnt real for me and I can go to eternal sleep. Im happy to live this life but after that I don't want to incarnate In a body or live as a spirit what are my options after death

What if when you die you decide you don't want to exist anymore. Can you ask for your soul to be destroyed. If not can you go to sleep. When I die I want to die in the soul eternally. I think it's bad that you can be created and if you dont want live you have no choice and have to follow the rules. Eternal sleep is what I want no worries no fears no violence just eternal peace. I love sleep where I am unconscious the only thing is I have to wake up.

mahasamadhi you exit thru bregma. medulla is not ajna(back of head) it is a krestam. bhrum (point inebtween eye brows) is not the spiritual eye it is the anterior krestam of ajna. i dont believe yoganada taught this, i know lahiri did not. ajna is dead smack in the center of the brain. it is only preceieved at bhrum. when in samadhi you look down from the void and see the star at kutastha(ajna). you look up and exit thru bregma to perform mahasamadhi. you can exit thru medulla during sleep paralysis to astral project on this plane. 

What does he mean by "people of your own type"?  I get it to mean that he thinks death is a continuation of what we have here on earth?  Our greed, envy, jealousy, attachments, etc?  So we feel comfortable being among "our own type?  I thought human consciousness was one movement..., death is the end of individuality.

To BlackBrownNwHITE ...  As I understand your question.. the medula and thrid eye deal with physical death,  where one's 'individual' soul continues to exist  as something separate from "God"...  so Duality.  
While the sahasrara/ thousand petal lotus deals with one's Spiritual Death.. the death of one's 'false' ego self. what we THINK we are.  The later deals with the non-dual State of Absolute ONEness.
Here one "goes" nowhere because they Realize that they ARE all places, all things, all all.  This later state references the "One True Death"  which leads to SELF Realization.  Here there is no more need to reincarnate.    ~ Namaste ~

No bugs and beetles in the astral world? Things that might spoil a picnic? Good grief. Clueless.

Hi, Bowdean Such things never happened to me....can u please tell me what you do.... i keep on reading about spirituality but cannot practice celibacy..pls guide

if you said it leaves through medula or third eye depending on who you are..... then what is the purpose of sahasara the thousand petal lotus...?

Interesting. Thanks for posting

I wanted to know how the Bible's "lake of fire" fits into your explanation. I think I know now.

When we experience blessings, like the ones you are describing (and many people do!), it is important to pray deeply to God (and to your Guru, if you have one), first of all with deep gratitude, but then also that you might be carefully guided in how (or if) to respond and what (if anything) you need to do about it. What happened to you?

The same thing which happens to all sincere seekers of truth. The prana (life-force, or conscious cosmic energy) begins to move inward and upward toward the brain—it is quite often perceived as a great light. The feeling of being “holy” or especially blessed afterward is also what most people feel. But the trick is to have that feeling become permanent. For that, daily meditation needs to become the most important part of your life.

Can somebody direct me? Ive had these experiences were it felt like I merged with ultimate source/God and turned into White light, one time it was absolutley the most beautiful intense experience Ive ever had, I felt like I was in Heaven and now made Holy, this feeling lasted hours. Then another time during this experience, my body started screaming, beyond my control, like I was going to explode, every scream disapated the White Light energy, still felt Holy after...what happened to me?

I'm not sure what you mean.

So what's the lake of fire?

This is not Swami Kriyananda's opinion. These are the truths he learned by the God-Realized master, Paramhansa Yogananda. In Yogananda's book, Autobiography of a Yogi, he goes into depth about the astral world. You can read this chapter for free on Ananda's website under >Free Inspiration > Books > Autobiography of a Yogi>Chapter 43: The Resurrection of Sri Yukteswar.

Can anyone give me a foundation for what he is teaching here other then his mere opinion?
