Question from jas: What is the difference between Yogananda and a saint? I know that we that are devotees of Yogananda say he is one with God, an avatar, but what can he do that a saint can not? Why do we think he is more then just a saint. I know he said about himself: I was free long time ago. I…
Question from Rich: There are so many questions I would like to ask about self realization and spirituality, there seems to be so many contradictions.

Question from Pushkar: Greetings Gurudev, I have few questions. First I want to ask how masters are able to resurrect dead? Paramahansa protected his disciples on numerous occasions. Is it because they remembered him at the very moment? If suppose I fall in to some trouble will Yogananda come to my rescue? Or will I suffer due to my past karma? Thanking you…
