       The following are advertisements for the lectures as they were placed in the Kansas City Star and the Kansas City Times. The ads are located in the section for motion pictures which seems fitting in light of Yoganandaji's view of life being a picture show projected by the beam of God. These images are taken from microfilm, so the quality varies. Click on images for a higher resolution closeup.

During this lecture tour, Mr.J. J. Lynn found his Guru, teacher, and friend for life.

      Paramahansa Yogananda said that St. Lynn, later given the monastic name of  Rajarsi Janakananda, "meditated six hours with me the first day." Such was his receptivity, that in that first meeting, the Guru was able to transmit to him the experience of samadhi.

After this first meeting in January 1932, Rajarsi contributed to his Guru's work by funding the monthly publication of East-West magazine. See the forward of the April 1932 edition.


      For more information, see the book, Rajarsi Janakananda: A Great Western Yogi, available from the Self-Realization Fellowship catalogue or from Amazon.com.

        India, in the person of one of her great masters, Paramahansa Yogananda, has bought to us this priceless knowledge of soul-realization. How grateful we should be to a people whose greatest men, down the centuries, have given their lives, have renounced everything else, in order to explore the divine potentialities in man! What India has given us today in Paramahansaji's teachings is worth more to us than anything we could give India in exchange. Today the Western man is in dire need of a spiritual technique for developing his soul resources. That technique is Kriya Yoga, an ancient science brought to us for the first time by a master from India.--Rajarsi Janakananda, " Rajarsi Janakananda: A Great Western Yogi"
