The 108 names of Paramhansa Yogananda first appeared in a letter to Nayaswami Jyotish from Satyavan, Ananda Austin, 2016:

This is Satyavan from Ananda Austin, I have been on our path for about five years now and I felt inspired to share and gift some intuitive writings that occurred during Swami’s Moksha Mandir weekend that I felt needed to be shared.

Upon my first visit to [Ananda] Village I went to journal and discovered an inner voice where I wrote a short spiritual verse, in the following weeks dozens and dozens of short verses came to me, some were prayers, affirmations and counsel for devotees. I eventually wrote (more accurate would be to say I scribed) a short book, which I self-published as the Teachings for Harmonious Living book.

Upon entering Swami Kriyananda’s Moksha mandir during the dedication ceremony I felt a great energy envelope my body. It was as if I was being drawn to attention, made upright and firm in the spine. Then I heard an inner voice say with great will and power:

“I dedicate my life to the quest for Self Realization, soul liberation and Oneness with God! As a channel of Yogananda’s teaching I am to become a beacon of light for Truth seekers everywhere, thus uplifting the consciousness of humanity.”

On the previous night as Jyotish and Devi spoke I was startled to hear an inner request to write the 108 names of Paramhansa Yogananda. As an offering and a starting point for others to refine, here as best as I could perceive are the 108 names.

With deep sincerity and appreciation,
Satyavan
