| Dear John, Paramhansa Yogananda’s mother passed away when he was only eleven years old. In his own words he shares how Divine Mother brought “final healing” to the loss of his earthly mother: "When we reached our Calcutta home, it was only to confront the stunning mystery of death. I collapsed into an almost lifeless state. Years passed before any reconciliation entered my heart. Storming the very gates of heaven, my cries at last summoned the Divine Mother. Her words brought final healing to my suppurating wounds: 'It is I who have watched over thee, life after life, in the tenderness of many mothers! See in My gaze the two black eyes, the lost beautiful eyes, thou seekest!'" --Paramhansa Yogananda, Autobiography of a Yogi Perhaps like Yogananda you have lost your earthly mother or one of your dearest friends. How can we too have the experience of Divine Mother that brings healing to our hearts? . . . |
