This episode covers the next part of chapter 11 from: “The heat outdoors was merciless...” to  “...then walked slowly to the station.” 

Summary: 

Jitendra resumes his yo-yo traits of tentative faith – with moments of extreme elation followed by extreme doubt, perhaps representing qualities of many devotees. Mukunda meanwhile becomes a Guru for the first time in this life, with an eager new devotee comparatively far advanced in years, but as we know it is a relationship that transcends conventional rules of age, sex and creed. We get a glimpse of what Kriya Yoga is and how Paramahansa Yogananda will use it to transform the world.    

0:00 Forgetful, doubting Jitendra; 19:50 A Guru, found; 33:30 Brindaban Tour with answered prayers; 58:20 Kriya Yoga Initiation.  Links from episode: https://www.indianetzone.com/12/kadamba_tree.htm https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Radha_Madan_Mohan_Temple,_Vrindavan https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Banke_Bihari_Temple https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shaligram https://youtu.be/Wj-STxwil2U?si=nYpyLyU8kbE948xk
