mrinalini -5

From the very beginning...

of Mrinalini Mata’s life in the ashram...

he spoke to the other disciples about the role he envisioned for her - especially her future responsibility as editor of his Self-Realization Fellowship Lessons, writings, and talks.

“She was destined for this work,” he said in a handwritten letter to Rajarsi Janakananda in 1950. “God showed it to me when I first saw her spirit.”

Sri Daya Mata wrote:

“Gurudeva made clear to all of us the role for which he was preparing Mrinalini Ma, giving her personal instruction in every aspect of his teachings, and in his wishes for the preparation and presentation of his writings and talks.”

Through daily association...

during the years that followed, until the last years of his life...

Paramahansaji devoted close attention to the spiritual training of Mrinalini Mata, providing her with personal instruction on how to edit his manuscripts and talks for publication after his passing.

 

Many works of Paramahansa Yogananda...

have been published under her direction...

as well as being translated into other languages.

Including his critically acclaimed translation and commentary on the Bhagavad Gita "God Talks With Arjuna", his masterful commentaries on the Gospels "The Second Coming of Christ", several volumes of his poetry and inspirational writings, and more than 150 of his talks in three anthologies of his "Collected Talks and Essays".

We look forward to announcing in the near future other major publications, that she finished her work on, shortly before her passing.
