Autobiography Chapter 16, Part 5: The Yuga debate, as stirred up by Sri Yukteswar

Yogananda Podcast

This episode covers the next part of chapter 16:
“The starry inscription at one’s birth, I came to understand...”
to
“...the contrasts and relativities of the phenomenal universe.”

Summary:
As Paramahansa Yogananda explains some detail surrounding the Yuga science as revealed to him by Swami Sri Yukteswar, we explore the depths of the teaching from a general perspective. The debate is made more nuanced as there are two schools of thought surrounding the Yugas – their length and the current age that we are in (ascending Dwapura not Kali).
