Autobiography Chapter 10, Part 9: Shankara and our glorious lineage


Listen Later

This episode covers the long footnote at the end of chapter 10. 

Summary: 
The footnote has so much depth that it is easy to gloss over in our eagerness to start the fun next chapter. However, hidden in-between the lines of this page Paramahansa Yogananda has planted some ancient truths that have shaped our path, cosmic chants and overall lineage over millennia. Although on first reading it is seems quite heavy, we do our best to make it digestible enough for our study.
