Guru Gita
138
Sitting in cotton for japa brings poverty, on rock bad health
Japa on earth brings sorrow and wooden seat is useless.
Shiva said: doing the japa sitting in cotton result poverty, on rock bring bad health. Sitting on earth bring sorrows, and wood seat don't give any benefit.
One day Yogananda said Shri Yuktheswarji " Guruji, please tell me something of your life".
"My family name was Priya Nath Karar. I was born 10 May 1855, in Serampore, where father was a wealthy business man. My formal schooling was little. I undertook the responsibilities of a householder, and have a daughter, now married. My middle life was blessed with the guidance of Lahiri Mahasaya. After my wife died, I joined the Swami Order and received the new name of Shri Yukteswar Giri"
Let us salute the great sage a Kriya yogi, who brought up another great yogi Shri Paramhansa Yoganada, who detained to spread the Kriya Yoga in the West.
