Yogananda (India, North America)
Paramahansa Yogananda was an Indian yogi born in 1893. In 1920, at his teacher Babaju's request, Yogananda traveled to America to introduce the Western world to the practice of Kriya yoga. He wrote the popular book Autobiography of a Yogi and opened Self-Realization Fellowship (SRF) centers worldwide. His teachings blend both Eastern and Western spirituality, and many of his writings quote Jesus Christ as an example of love, compassion and forgiveness. He, and his teacher before him taught that all religions have an underlying unity.
Yogananda's legacy includes bringing yoga to North America and introducing Westerners to meditation and chanting. All of his teachings are focused on developing loving connections and communication with God, and living a happy and healthy life.
He passed from this physical plane in 1952, but he continues to teach, heal and guide people as one of the newer ascended masters.
He helps you with getting a clear communication with God. Helps you with giving and receiving Divine love. He can also help with the healing both spiritually, emotionally and physically. He tries to help bring peace not just to you but globally as well. He believes in trying to bring unity of religious beliefs. And of course he helps you with yoga practice!
To invoke him, the easiest way is through meditation. Yogananda is actively involved with world affairs and will help anyone who desires to bring peace to the planet. While mediating mentally repeat the word love and simultaneously holding the intention of contacting him. You may then see a mental vision of him and have the experience of conversing with him. During this conversation, you could ask him for Divine direction about your spiritual path or any other question or concern that you may have.
