🙏💜 BABAJI CHOOSES SRI YUKTESWAR TO TRAIN PARAMAHANSAJI To Bring Yoga to the West
BABAJI to SRI YUKTESWAR: “‘I saw that you are interested in the West, as well as in the East.’ Babaji’s face beamed with approval. ‘I felt the pangs of your heart, broad enough for all men. That is why I summoned you here.
“‘ East and West must establish a golden middle path of activity and spirituality combined,’ he continued. ‘India has much to learn from the West in material development; in return, India can teach the universal methods by which the West will be able to base its religious beliefs on the unshakable foundations of yogic science.
“‘You, Swamiji, have a part to play in the coming harmonious exchange between Orient and Occident. Some years hence I shall send you a disciple whom you can train for yoga dissemination in the West. The vibrations there of many spiritually seeking souls come floodlike to me. I perceive potential saints in America and Europe, waiting to be awakened.’”
At this point in his story, Sri Yukteswar turned his gaze fully on mine. “My son,” he said [to PARAMAHANSAJI], smiling in the bright moonlight, “you are the disciple that, years ago, Babaji promised to send me.”
