Notă biografică

In 1972 a fortuitous confluence of events made it possible to revive Yogananda's educational ideals. J. Donald Walters, a close American student of Yogananda's, had founded Ananda, the first World Brotherhood Colony, along the lines suggested by Yogananda. The families that gathered there were eager to provide their children with a school based on the principles from Ranchi. In 1917 the model for future Education for Life schools was founded in Ranchi, India, by Paramhansa Yogananda Paramhansa Yogananda, the author of Autobiography of a Yogi. He described some of his ideas in several documents, along with chapter 27 of his autobiography. In 1986 Mr. Walters published a major work, Education for Life, a book which describes the principles that Yogananda developed in language that is attuned to the modern Western audience. The book was launched at a weekend program at Ananda Village, attended by over 150 people. Walters emphasized that the principles described in the book are non-sectarian and could be broadly applied.
