The Resurrection of Sri Yukteswar and His Discussion of the natur of the Astral and Causal Worlds as described by Paramahamsa Yogananda in Autobiography of a Yogi
‘Sitting on my (Paramhansa Yogananda’s) bed in the Bombay hotel at three o’clock in the afternoon of June 19, 1936, I was roused from my meditation by a heavenly light.
