I decided to review Brother Bhaktananda’s - and therefore most of Yogananda’s recommendations for food and health and slowing the age process- recommendations and suggestions about health and eating. We have been talking about it in another thread - ‘Longevity and Health’ - but since some of the threads have apparently disappeared ( that you created on aging ) I thought this may be a good place to bring up the topic of aging. Brother Bhaktananda once told me that I had a long life ahead of me. Being now 71 I suppose that prediction has already become some what true.

I find that what you said about Rajasi has also become true of my life….He may have had cancer much younger if it was not for his generally good health, and following a good diet. There were three times in my life that I found I may have easily died by health problems had it not been for practicing Hatha yoga, eating a vegetarian diet, a constant practice of Yogananda’s energization exercises and the grace/blessings of the gurus.
