Awake: The Life of Yogananda

I am a Paramahansa Yogananda disciple since 1990, and it seems to me that the reviews about it are full of fanaticism , and that fanaticism is quite contrary to Yogananda's teachings. I hope mind-balanced people will not be mislead by this, and will take care to learn more about Master's teachings and life, that are so important for modern time people. According to my personal experiences, Yogananda's teachings are an effective, scientific method that enables man to consciously and voluntary accomplish his own spiritual, mental and material evolution, and, as far as possible, the evolution of the world he is living in. Through such evolution, mas can free himself and the world from suffering, and can reach and help the world reaching true, ever-increasing happiness. I hope my poor English is understandable. God bless us all.

We in India have Been waiting for this movie for past couple of years.The most awaited movie for Yogananda Ji's Devotees.None can measure the depth of movie.though i did not watch the movie i can say undoubtedly that this gonna change many lives and also the way of living.This movie is based on the great book "An Autobiography of an Yogi".there are many teachings given by Yogananda Ji which helps us in developing ourselves and also leads in self realization.There are many things from which we can enrich the life force with in our souls.I suggest every individual to read this book and watch this movie. Please share us the movie link with we can watch online or purchase it.

The film makers have done an exceptional job of conveying an atmosphere of mystical reverence to this film. I was catapulted into an elevated state of awareness— captivated from start to finish, with only a few moments late in the film of dropping back into 'ordinary reality'. The mood is haunting and compels your attention. The story itself is poignant. The scenes of Yognanda's meeting and reunion with his guru are exceptionally moving and well-crafted. I am recommending to all my spiritually- minded, seeker friends. They say that spiritual teachers are here primarily to show others that it is possible to break through to a deeper reality of love and truth. This film shows just how much Yogananda radiated this gift to the world around him. Truly an amazing accomplishment!

The documentary has many of Yogananda's teachings. That in itself is a good enough reason to go in the first place. It has made me more grounded in my own yoga practices. The filmmakers show the history of this Sad Guru, his lineage, and the love between Guru and disciple. It has filled me with awe and gratitude for how he and his devotees have built up so much in the USA and India. The imagery is as close as one can get to the experience of the divine. The music is appropriate and runs well. The talking heads are all interesting to watch. For a change they actually have something to say. :-)

I'm very happy to be a human being.

In the past year, I have been 'changed' by Yoga and Meditation. The Life of Yogananda is an amazing story of the man who brought True Yoga and Meditation to the West.
