The Jewel in the Lotus — A Play Dedicated to Paramhansa Yogananda by Swami Kriyananda (Pune 2023)


November 4, 2023

Watch this beautiful play written by Swami Kriyananda, a direct disciple of Paramhansa Yogananda. It masterfully portrays the journey of the soul from self involvement to the deep desire to return to it’s home in God. It takes place in India at the time of Paramhansa Yogananda's next incarnation in 130 years. Through humor and accessible poetic wording, Swami Kriyananda opens our hearts and minds to the sweet longing of the soul for God.

It was beautifully performed by an excellent all-Indian cast at Ananda Sangha Pune November 4th 2023 during the 20th anniversary celebration of Ananda Sangha India.
