Sexuality and Self-Control (The Essence of the Bhagavad Gita Explained by Paramhansa Yogananda)

Part 14 - Chapter 1, Stanza 6. http://www.crystalclarity.com/product... The Essence of the Bhagavad Gita Explained by Paramhansa Yogananda as remembered by his disciple, Swami Kriyananda. This book shares the profound insights of Paramhansa Yogananda, author of Autobiography of a Yogi, as remembered by one of his few remaining direct disciples, Swami Kriyananda. We have enormous power but may waste it. For mental clarity, health in body and mind as the Bhagavad Gita recommends, learn to control the life force and sexual impulse. Swami says that just as the Native Americans have rites of passage for their young, all young people should be taught the importance of using the life force wisely once they reach adulthood. Young people should learn the dignity of becoming adults and about the responsibility they have to their bodies and to society to be a clear channels of physical and spiritual power. Sex & sense enjoyment are not bad or wrong, yet we do pay a price. The choice is ours. This talk offers a deep and generally unknown teaching about the nature of human life-force and why one might choose to conserve it. In yogic tradition it is well known that the power lost during sexual emission is the very life-force that sustains us physically, mentally, and spiritually. Celibacy leads to greater mental power. The depletion of life-force through over indulgence in sex (and lack of self-control in general) has a cumulative negative effect on ones mental clarity, and overall health. Many sincere seekers have found that over indulgence in any sense pleasure actually dims their awareness or strengthens the feeling of being separate from God or ones Highest-Self. Swami Kriyananda worked with Paramhansa Yogananda in 1950 while the Master completed his commentary of the Bhagavad Gita. At that time Yogananda commissioned him to disseminate his teachings world-wide. Kriyananda has in his lifetime lectured, taught, and written over one hundred books based on Yogananda's teachings. The Essence of the Bhagavad Gita is available from Crystal Clarity Publishers. http://www.crystalclarity.com/product... ABOUT SWAMI KRIYANANDA In 1948 at the age of twenty-two, Swami Kriyananda (J. Donald Walters) became a disciple of the Indian yoga master, Paramhansa Yogananda. At Yogananda’s request, Swami Kriyananda devoted his life to lecturing and writing, helping others to experience the living presence of God within. He taught on four continents in seven languages over the course of 65 years. His talks, his music, and his many books have touched the lives of millions. An advocate of simple living and high thinking, his more than 150 books emphasize the need to live wisely by one’s own experience of life, and not by abstract theories or dogmas. A composer since 1964, Walters has written over 400 musical works. His music is inspiring, soothing, and uplifting. His books and teachings on spiritualizing nearly every field of human endeavor include business life, leadership, education, the arts, community, and science. He wrote extensive commentaries on the Bible and the Bhagavad Gita, both based on the teachings of Paramhansa Yogananda. He is known as the “father of the intentional communities movement,” which began in the United States in the late 1960s, fulfilling Yogananda's dream. He founded the first of what are now 10 Ananda communities worldwide in 1967 near Nevada City, California.
