He emphasized the universality of the great religions, and ceaselessly taught that all religions, especially Hinduism and Christianity, were essentially the same in their essence. The primary message of Yogananda was to practice the scientific technique of kriya yoga to be released from all human suffering. </p><p>He emigrated from India to the <a href="/wiki/United_States_of_America" title="United States of America">United States</a> in 1920 and eventually founded the Self-Realization Fellowship there in <a href="/wiki/Los_Angeles,_California" title="Los Angeles, California">Los Angeles, California</a>. He published his own life story in a book called <i>Autobiography of a Yogi</i>, first published in 1946. In the book, Yogananda provided some details of his personal life, an introduction to yoga, meditation, and philosophy, and accounts of his world travels and encounters with a wide variety of saints and colorful personalities, including <a href="/wiki/Therese_Neumann" title="Therese Neumann">Therese Neumann</a>, <a href="/wiki/Mahatma_Gandhi" title="Mahatma Gandhi">Mohandas K. Gandhi</a>, Luther Burbank, and Jagadis C. Bose. </p><p>Paramhamsa, also spelled Paramahamsa, is a <a href="/wiki/Sanskrit" title="Sanskrit">Sanskrit</a> title used for <a href="/wiki/Hindu" class="mw-redirect" title="Hindu">Hindu</a> spiritual teachers who have become enlightened. The title of Paramhansa originates from the legend of the swan. The swan (<i>hansa</i>) is said to have a mythical ability to sip only the milk from a water-and-milk mixture, separating out the more watery part. The spiritual master is likewise said to be able to live in a world like a supreme (<i>param</i>) swan, and only see the divine, instead of all the evil mixed in there too, which the worldly person sees. </p><p>Yogananda is considered by his followers and many religious scholars to be a modern avatar. </p><p>In 1946, Yogananda published his <i>Autobiography of a Yogi</i>. It has since been translated into 45 languages, and in 1999 was designated one of the "100 Most Important Spiritual Books of the 20th Century" by a panel of spiritual authors convened by Philip Zaleski and HarperCollins publishers. </p><p><i>Awake: The Life of Yogananda</i> is a 2014 documentary about Paramhansa Yogananda, in English with subtitles in seventeen languages. The documentary includes commentary by <a href="/wiki/George_Harrison" title="George Harrison">George Harrison</a> and Ravi Shankar, among others.<sup id="cite_ref-WPaboutTheFilm_1-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-WPaboutTheFilm-1">[1]</a></sup><sup id="cite_ref-IMDb_2-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-IMDb-2">[2]</a></sup> </p><p><small> </small></p><small> <h2><span class="mw-headline" id="Footnotes">Footnotes</span></h2> <span style="font-size: 85%;"><div class="references" style="-moz-column-count:2; column-count:2;"><div class="mw-references-wrap"><ol class="references"> <li id="cite_note-WPaboutTheFilm-1"><span class="mw-cite-backlink"><a href="#cite_ref-WPaboutTheFilm_1-0">↑</a></span> <span class="reference-text">Wikipedia has an <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Awake:_The_Life_of_Yogananda" class="extiw" title="wikipedia:Awake: The Life of Yogananda">article about the 2014 documentary film</a>.</span> </li> <li id="cite_note-IMDb-2"><span class="mw-cite-backlink"><a href="#cite_ref-IMDb_2-0">↑</a></span> <span class="reference-text">The <a rel="nofollow" class="external text" href="https://www.imdb.com/title/tt3741860/">IMBd filmography database</a> has a full cast list and other details about the 2014 documentary film.</span> </li> </ol></div></div></span> </small><p><small></small> </p> </td></tr></tbody></table> <div style="text-align: right;"><small><i><a href="/wiki/Paramhansa_Yogananda" title="Paramhansa Yogananda">Continued</a>...</i></small></div> </td> </tr> </tbody></table> <!-- Saved in parser cache with key citiz_2022:pcache:idhash:4698-0!canonical and timestamp 20241201174255 and revision id 991848. --> </div> <div class="printfooter" data-nosnippet="">Retrieved from "<a dir="ltr" href="https://citizendium.org/wiki/index.php?title=Welcome_to_Citizendium&oldid=991848">https://citizendium.org/wiki/index.php?title=Welcome_to_Citizendium&oldid=991848</a>"</div></div> <div id="catlinks" class="catlinks catlinks-allhidden" data-mw="interface"></div> </div> </div> <div id="mw-navigation"> <h2>Navigation menu</h2> <div id="mw-head"> <nav id="p-personal" class="vector-menu mw-portlet mw-portlet-personal vector-user-menu-legacy" aria-labelledby="p-personal-label" role="navigation" > <h3 id="p-personal-label" class="vector-menu-heading " > <span class="vector-menu-heading-label">Personal tools</span> </h3> <div class="vector-menu-content"> <ul class="vector-menu-content-list"><li id="pt-login" class="mw-list-item"><a href="/wiki/index.php?title=Special:UserLogin&returnto=Welcome+to+Citizendium" title="To edit pages, [[Special:RequestAccount|get a contributor account]].
