Summary
Details

"These Stories will Inspire you and especially your Children. Bigger Fonts, Easy to Read. This book is an early collection of reminiscences of wisdom and wit of the great Kriya Yoga Master Paramahansa Yogananda.

These are true stories. The fourteen anecdotes are among those that Paramahansa Yogananda recounted to lecture audiences in America or that were told to SRF disciples by his relatives and friends who had known him in his early life in India. In his narratives the great Master did not always mention names, dates, and places. He would often start out: ""One time, this friend and I..."" and then proceed with the tale. Therefore, in writing the stories, I have not always been certain about the chronology, settings, and personal names. I have found it expedient to bestow fictitious names on certain people in various episodes. The only true names are Mukunda, Sri Yukteswarji, Ananta, Roma, Prabhas Chandra Ghosh, and ""Maid-Ma.""

During Paramahansaji's last years, I had the blessing, as a disciple at Mount Washington Center, of seeing the Master often. In this book I have tried to depict in words, which are inadequate at best, the spirit of Yoganandaji: a spirit ardent with love for God, tender with sympathy for all men, forgiving, kindly, humorous; yet resolute and forceful when strength was needed; never afraid to side with a righteous cause, however unpopular."
