About the Book
Written from the author’s unique perspective as a younger brother of Paramahansa Yogananda, whom he affectionately called “Mejda” — the Bengali term for one’s second eldest brother — this compelling biography presents a vivid, firsthand account of Paramahansaji’s childhood, family life, and spiritual development in India. Sananda Lal Ghosh shares many previously unpublished stories and insights, and allows the reader to see through his eyes numerous incidents recounted by Paramahansa Yogananda in Autobiography of a Yogi.
About the Author
Sananda Lal Ghosh (1898 – 1979) was the brother and childhood companion of Paramahansa Yogananda. His deep religious interests and creative spirit found many-sided expression as artist, photographer, mechanic, architect, musician, and finally as author. In the late 1950s he painted a portrait of the famous Nobel Prize winning poet, Rabindranath Tagore, which received worldwide acclaim. Over the years he produced hundreds — perhaps thousands — of photo-portraits of his respected brother for disciples throughout the world. In the same tireless spirit of dedication he worked on the manuscript of this book, which was completed shortly before his passing in 1979.
From the engrossing narrative of Mejda, readers can gain a new appreciation for the radiant spiritual personality of Paramahansa Yogananda, whose life was a testament to the timeless truths of India’s science of God-realization.
