The Past Lives of Paramhansa Yogananda
“Master revealed to us that he himself had been Krishna’s closest friend and disciple, Arjuna. (‘Prince of devotees,’ the Bhagavad Gita calls him.) We found it easy to believe that he had been that mighty warrior, for Master’s incredible will power, his innate gift for leadership, and his enormous physical strength (when he chose to exert it), all pointed to someone with the tendencies of a mighty, conquering hero.”
Excerpted from Paramhansa Yogananda as William the Conqueror by Swami Kriyananda.
