Hailed as "the father of Yoga in the West", Paramahansa Yogananda is
regarded as one of the great spiritual figures of our time. According to
MMY's secretary at La Antilla TTC, many of the techniques taught by
Yogananda were incorporated into the AoE program.
For example, the /"night-time siddhi float"/ has been taught at
Yogananda's Self Realization Fellowship since 1920. Yogananda taught
/Kriya Yoga/ and other meditation practices, which he called
/Self-realization/.

/"As a bright light shining in the midst of darkness, so was Yogananda's
presence in this world. Such a great soul comes on earth only rarely,
when there is a real need among men."/ – HH Shankaracharya of Kanchipuram
We took one of our first yoga courses as a correspondence course out of
the Self Realization Fellowship, (SRF) and were later initiated when we
moved to L.A. We were frequent visitors to lectures at the SRF Center
and restaurant and visited the SRF Headquarters at Mt. Washington on two
occasions. I remember one memorable visit at a weekend retreat in
Encinitas while I was meditating: suddenly I realized a new meditation
thechnique having to do with the kundalini rising up through the
chakras. Later that year in San Francisco we took a hatha yoga course
with Swami Kriyananda (J. Donald Walters) .
/"The Kriya Yogi mentally directs his life energy to revolve, upward and
downward, around the six spinal centers (medullary, cervical, dorsal,
lumbar, sacral, and coccygeal plexuses) which correspond to the twelve
astral signs of the zodiac, the symbolic Cosmic Man. One-half minute of
revolution of energy around the sensitive spinal cord of man effects
subtle progress in his evolution; that half-minute of Kriya equals one
year of natural spiritual unfoldment."/ - Paramahansa Yogananda
