Babaji is ever in communion with Christ; together they send out vibrations of redemption and have planned the spiritual technique of salvation for this age. The work of these two fully illumined masters - one with a body, and one without a body - is to inspire the nations to forsake wars, race hatreds, religious sectarianism, and the boomerang evils of materialism. Babaji is well aware of the trend of modern times, especially of the influence and complexities of Western civilization, and realizes the necessity of spreading the self-liberations of yoga equally in the West and in the East. - Paramahansa Yogananda.

The Kriya Yoga technique, anciently taught by Krishna to Arjuna and referred to in the Bhagavad Gita, is the supreme spiritual science of yoga meditation. Secreted during the materialistic ages, this indestructible yoga was revived for modern man by Mahavatar Babaji. Babaji himself ordained me to spread this holy science of God-union through the Self-Realization Fellowship organization I founded at his behest and that of my guru. - Paramahansa Yogananda.

Yoga is that science by which the soul gains mastery over the instruments of body and mind and uses them to attain Self-realization - the reawakened consciousness of its transcendent, immortal nature, one with Spirit. - Paramahansa Yogananda.

In fearlessness affirm: “I am castled in God’s presence. No harm can reach me, for in every situation of life - physical, mental, financial, spiritual - I am protected in the fortress of God’s presence.” - Paramahansa Yogananda.

The more you are silent the more happiness you will find. What joy awaits discovery in the silence behind the portals of your mind, no human tongue can tell. But you must convince yourself; you must meditate and create that environment. Those who deeply meditate feel a wonderful inner quiet. This stillness within should be maintained even when in the company of other people. What you learn in meditation, practice in activity and conversation; let no one dislodge you from that calm state. Hold on to your peace. - Paramahansa Yogananda.
