This episode covers the last part of chapter 19 from:
“A crestfallen Dijen soon entered the room...”
to the end of the chapter.

Summary:
The highlights of the end of the chapter is the subtle reference to the Bible passage where Jesus walks on water and Peter attempts to join him, as discussed in Paramahansa Yogananda’s epic work The Second Coming of Christ. Was Sri Yukteswar Jesus Christ in this reference? Why would Sri Yukteswar’s miracles create a wave of cold fear amongst his disciples? We discuss these important questions and also reflect on this wonderful chapter.

This episode covers the next part of chapter 19 from:
“As the room was rather dark, I moved nearer to a window...”
to
“...I had not been the victim of a hallucination.”

Summary:
Reva joins us as we break down the dazzling appearance of Sri Yukteswar to an awe-stricken Mukunda (Paramahansa Yogananda). Guruji provides infinitesimal detail about this divine experience, and we hypothesise why Sri Yukteswar might have been commanded to provide it!

This episode covers the first part of chapter 19 from:
“I am often beset by atheistic doubts. Yet a torturing surmise sometimes haunts me...”
to
“... Dijen made for the door and closed it noisily behind him.”

Summary:
As we gauge our expectations for this chapter, we ponder over the similarities between those that have come and those that are yet to come. We take another dive into the mindset of the different types of atheists and their relationship with God, the impact of trivial preoccupations in daily life, and the potential value of a postcard in today’s age!
