Dear Ones,

I see that the Fall 2017 issue of “Quest Magazine,” published by the Theosophical Society in America, features an article by Ray Grasse detailing an interview he had with mystic Shelly Trimmer, who spent a few years studying (and apparently, jousting) with Paramahansa Yogananda. Also included were anecdotes that Ray Grasse heard from Goswami Kriyananda ..

Link: Grasse, Ray, “Memories of Yogananda” Quest 105:4(Fall 2017) pg. 16-19 … https://www.theosophical.org/publications/quest-magazine/4331 ..

Some of the topics covered in the article are …

• celibacy and the spiritual adept
• sublimating anger
• on playing a role in life joyfully, and dressing to suit the part
• on controlling one’s personality
• Yogananda’s vision that he would not reincarnate on Earth, but rather go to a distant part of space
• Yogananda’s atonement, in his most recent incarnation, for folks he enslaved in his incarnation as William the Conqueror
• Yogananda on ghosts
• A magic trick to make two people who are enemies fall in love — a 30-something ex-marine and a 70-something woman; this had to do with plaiting 3 strands both people’s hair
• Using mental suggestion to make Saint Lynn fall asleep while lecturing

It is a very interesting article; I suggest taking a look.

In love, light and joy,
