Paramhansa Yoganandaji As I have Seen and Understood Him]

The goal was to present - as much as possible - a literal and exact translation of the commentaries of Yogiraj Shyama Charan Lahiri Mahasay. The idea was to give the English speaking reader the experience of what it is like to read the Bengali originals. The translations contained in this book are the result. They are not poetic or "interpretive," nor are they meant to be. We wish to thank those generous kind souls worldwide who contributed the funds to make the publishing possible.
