5.0 out of 5 stars Up Close and Personal with this Guru
Reviewed in the United States on May 30, 2009

I received this in the mail and was immediately engrossed in the reading, feeling like I was reading about a beloved friend. I felt like I'd known Yogananda thru all his other books (Autobiography, Self-Realization Volumes, and Scientific Healing Affirmations), so "Mejda" proved to offer valuable insight to his background and life.

What I learned in this book:

Yogananda has always had deep love and affection for all animals since a young child.

He had difficulty containing his anger and would express his feelings passionately and vocally. In his other books he talked about eliminating his anger as he got older.

He was a yogi since he was conscious as a baby, but then, he was always conscious inbetween incarnations.

He had a powerful relationship with God in that God would manifest to him even when he was a young child.

He was so curious that he started dabbling in various supernatural practices. (I can relate to this!)

He yearned for God terribly and felt very ostracized (was bullied) as he was so different from other boys.

He was a sensitive and passionate young boy, yet he began his guru-ship early as other boys interested in the same thing would follow him.

Thank you, Sananda, brother of Yogananda, for giving us your precious insight into a beloved Yogi.

Was skeptical about the book thinking his brother might use Yogananda’s fame for his own benefit. SO pleased to report that the stories seem to be from the heart and for the benefit of Yogananda’s cause. Such a joy to learn more about the man and feel closer to the saint!

Love anything about Paramahansa Yogananda! This biography is a heartfelt tribute from his younger brother, who was also an artist of some repute. He has documented his brother’s life and lovingly included family photos as well as some of his artistic renderings of the great yogi-saint.

5.0 out of 5 stars easier to read than Autobiography of a Yogi
Reviewed in the United States on March 13, 2014

this is one of my favorite books. It tells of Yogandanda's early years and the many events and miracles he left out of his own book. The way it was written , was much more interesting to read than the previous. In fact, I could not finish Autobiograph,I had to get it on audiobook, because the writing style was so boring for me. I love this book.

I've known of Yogananda for almost twelve years. My introduction to him was his autobiography. Since then I've read much of his literature, and the writings of some of his disciples. Of them all, this book has been the most inspiring and informative. I feel any open hearted seeker will find some good in it, and any lover of Yogananda would deeply enjoy and cherish it.

Although fairly repetitive regards what Yogananda shared himself this book is a delightful reminder of his brother’s Love and direct witnessing.
