“Man is a soul, and has a body.” –Swami Sri Yukteswar
According to the ancient teachings of India, time moves not in a straight line but in great, repeating cycles called Yugas—ages through which humanity rises and falls in spiritual awareness. Swami Sri Yukteswar, guru of Paramhansa Yogananda, presented a fascinating explanation of the rising and falling eras that our planet cycles.
Paramhansa Yogananda illuminated these profound truths for the modern world, revealing how the Yugas influence not only civilizations but also the individual soul’s journey toward divine realization.
In this discussion we will:
- Gain understanding of the great cycle of time, its ascending and descending arcs.
- Discover how the soul evolves through these changing ages, and how we can attune ourselves to the deeper spiritual currents regardless of outer conditions.
- Learn about Dwapara Yuga, the current age of energy awareness into which humanity is now entering, and how its qualities are awakening new potentials within us.
Through the lens of Yogananda’s wisdom, we will see that this is not a teaching of fate, but of hope—reminding us that no matter the age, the Divine Light within remains unchanged, ever inviting us home. Together, we will reflect, discuss, and share practices that can help us live with greater joy, resilience, and spiritual clarity in these transformative times.
Come prepared to expand your understanding of history, destiny, and your own soul’s timeless quest for the Infinite.
