Summary:

Paramahansa Yogananda’s search for the reincarnated Kashi in Kolkata comes to a beautiful crescendo and an emotional encounter with Kashi's new family to be. We examined Guruji's abilities to detect electrical impulses and translate them into profound intuitive understanding of the direction he should traverse, while also discussing the concept of memory and reincarnation from both eastern and biblical perspectives. The discussion concluded with an analysis of Guruji's interventions in physical spaces and his mystical experiences, including the significance of wearing ochre robes in the Swami order and the importance of genuine spiritual advancement.

to
“...I practised the yoga method steadily for about six months after Kashi’s death”.

Summary:

Paramahansa Yogananda’s emotional confrontation with Kashi's family after learning of Kashi's death was a little shocking to us gentle readers, but discuss the ramifications of the same. The themes of souls, astral realms, and reincarnation is quite important for this section of the book and we find readings from Guruji’s writings that further explore these topics. The techniques for locating a soul in the astral regions is cloaked in mystery but there are subtle clues as to how we can ourselves achieve the same goal, recognising the dangers and improper approaches to mediumship and communicating with the deceased.
