Enjoy a new visual interpretation of Yogananda's famous poem Samadhi , read by his direct disciple Swami Kriyananda. • Vanished the veils of light and shade, • Lifted every vapor of sorrow, • Sailed away all dawns of fleeting joy, • Gone the dim sensory mirage. • Love, hate, health, disease, life, death, • Perished these false shadows on the screen of duality. • Waves of laughter, scyllas of sarcasm, melancholic whirlpools, • Melting in the vast sea of bliss. • The storm of maya stilled • By magic wand of intuition deep. • The universe, forgotten dream, subconsciously lurks, • Ready to invade my newly wakened memory divine. • I live without the cosmic shadow, • But it is not, bereft of me; • As the sea exists without the waves, • But they breathe not without the sea. • Dreams, wakings, states of deep turiya,sleep; • Present, past, future, no more for me, • But ever-present, all-flowing I, I, everywhere. • Planets, stars, stardust, earth, • Volcanic bursts of doomsday cataclysms, • Creation’s molding furnace, • Glaciers of silent x-rays, burning electron floods, • Thoughts of all men, past, present, to come, • Every blade of grass, myself, mankind, • Each particle of universal dust, • Anger, greed, good, bad, salvation, lust, • I swallowed, transmuted all • Into a vast ocean of blood of my own one Being! • Smoldering joy, oft-puffed by meditation, • Blinding my tearful eyes, • Burst into immortal flames of bliss, • Consumed my tears, my frame, my all. • Thou art I, I am Thou, • Knowing, Knower, Known, as One! • Tranquilled, unbroken thrill, eternally living, ever new peace! • Enjoyable beyond imagination of expectancy, samadhi bliss! • Not a mental chloroform • Or unconscious state without wilful return, • Samadhi but extends my conscious realm • Beyond the limits of the mortal frame • To farthest boundary of eternity • Where I, the Cosmic Sea, • Watch the little ego floating in me. • The sparrow, each grain of sand, fall not without my sight. • All space like an iceberg floats within my mental sea. • Colossal Container, I, of all things made. • By deeper, longer, thirsty, guru-given meditation • Comes this celestial samadhi. • Mobile murmurs of atoms are heard, • The dark earth, mountains, vales, lo! molten liquid! • Flowing seas change into vapors of nebulae! • Aum blows upon the vapors, opening wondrously their veils, • Oceans stand revealed, shining electrons, • Till, at last sound of the cosmic drum, • Vanish the grosser lights into eternal rays • Of all-pervading bliss. • From joy I came, for joy I live, in sacred joy I melt. • Ocean of mind, I drink all Creation’s waves. • Four veils of solid, liquid, vapor, light, • Lift aright. • Myself, in everything, enters the Great Myself. • Gone forever, fitful, flickering shadows of mortal memory. • Spotless is my mental sky, below, ahead, and high above. • Eternity and I, one united ray. • A tiny bubble of laughter, I • Am become the Sea of Mirth Itself. • Paramhansa Yogananda, born in 1893, was the first yoga master of India to take up permanent residence in the West. • Hundreds of thousands filled the largest halls in major American cities to see the yoga master from India. Yogananda continued to lecture and write up to his passing in 1952. • Paramhansa Yogananda’s initial impact on the western culture was truly impressive. But his lasting spiritual legacy has been even greater. His *Autobiography of a Yogi*, first published in 1946, helped launch a spiritual revolution in the West. Translated into more than a dozen languages, it remains a best-selling spiritual classic to this day. [http://ananda.org/autobiography.] • Yogananda brought the path of Self-realization and universal spirituality for daily life. • As the means of attaining this exalted spiritual state Yogananda initiated his followers into the ancient technique of Kriya Yoga, which he called the “jet-airplane route to God.” • The path of Kriya Yoga combines the practice of advanced yogic techniques with spirituality in daily life can be learned at http://ananda.org/kriya-yoga. • • ABOUT ANANDA WORLDWIDE • Ananda is a worldwide movement to help individuals realize the joy of their own higher Self.
