The Boy Who Hungered for God

The Boy Who Hungered for God is the intimate portrait that devoted seekers and Kriya Yoga practitioners have long needed, a deep, unhurried immersion into the early life of Paramahansa Yogananda, from his first breath to the years of sacred formation under Sri Yukteswar Giri. Where the Autobiography of a Yogi opened a door, this book walks through it slowly, reverently, and does not look away. What You Will Discover Inside The spiritual atmosphere of Yogananda's birth and childhood in Gorakhpur, the unseen forces already shaping a world-destined soul His earliest encounters with saints, miracles, and the longing that set him apart from every other child around him The grief that cracked him open, and the grace that met him there His restless, relentless search for a living Guru, and the inner disciplines that formed long before he ever found one The sacred relationship between young Mukunda and Sri Yukteswar, master and disciple, forged through silence, correction, and luminous love The interior landscape of a soul in formation: doubt, devotion, testing, and the slow, certain arrival into his true self Portraits of the saints and teachers who appeared at precisely the right moments along his path A richer, more textured understanding of the Kriya Yoga lineage, lived from the inside out Written for Those Who Already Love Him This is not an introduction.
