Stories of Mukunda

A really wonderful book! It’s been long out of circulation, as far as I know, but I had the chance to find a pdf version in a website. Unfortunately, the pdf is made of images, so I thought I could retype it to make it look more proper.

Stories of Mukunda is a compilation of stories about the chilhood and youth of Paramhansa Yogananda; before he got his monastic name, he was known as Mukunda Lal Ghosh. The book was written by Swami Kriyananda while he was still part of Self-Realization Fellowship, about a year after Yoganandaji’s mahasamadhi.

I enjoyed the book immensely and found it really inspiring; so, it’s actually a real pleasure to type it all out, and a greater pleasure to put it up for people to read online.
