Autobiography Chapter 35, Part 5: Lahiri Mahasaya’ grandson Ananda Mohan Lahiri

This episode covers the last part of chapter 35 from: 
“Lahiri Mahasaya’s handwriting and signature, in Bengali script, are shown...”  
to the end of the chapter. 

As we examined the beautiful Bengali lettering and signature from Lahiri Mahasaya, we review the scientific foundation of yoga mudras like Shambhavi Mudra, which involves fixing the gaze between the eyebrows without blinking. Lahiri Mahasaya's teachings on the Bhagavad Gita and Mahabharata set the tone for the age, where modern science has confirmed ancient yoga practices dating back thousands of years. The conversation covered Paramahansa Yogananda’s approach to sharing miraculous stories, noting his discrimination in what to include in his writings, and emphasized the universal nature of Lahiri Mahasaya's teachings that transcended religious boundaries.
