Subject: Yogananda in Minneapolis

Through his classes and personal interviews Yoganandaji powerfully affected the lives of local devotees, and many were miraculously healed of ailments. Numerous testimonials from the local devotees were published in the East-West Magazine. Following are a few examples of these testimonials from Minneapolis students. Dr. Aaron Friedell, a physician and surgeon who attended Minneapolis Meditation Group services in the 1970-80s (he is seated second from the right in the front row of this picture taken circa 1978), said, “When I heard Yogoda lesson 4 from Swami Yogananda, presented so admirably and so thoroughly scientifically, I was completely taken off my feet with admiration. To that admiration was gradually added, love and keen devotion. Yogoda is an excellent method for self-development. I heartily approve of it.” Mrs. A.E. Exton said, “I am most thankful for a healing of my eyes. I have worn glasses for eighteen years. A prominent Minneapolis eye specialist said I would have to wear them all my life. Imagine my great joy when I removed my glasses at Swami Yogananda’s healing meeting, at which my eyesight was completely restored… Only those have tasted can know the richness of Yogoda.” Baroness Theloma Goldeska exclaimed, “My body has been energized, my mind made peaceful. My outlook on life is clearer and I have acquired an understanding of spiritual truths and how to make them practical in my everyday life.” Mrs. R.L. Race of Robbinsdale stated, “Through Yogoda I have recovered almost entirely from nervousness; my eyesight is better, and I am now able to have the use of my right ear for the first time in three years.” “At the healing meeting, to my great joy and surprise,” John P. Weiss said, “I was cured of my tobacco habit completely and without any effort on my part. I have always been a very heavy user of tobacco and cigars.” It is possible that the healing meeting referred to by several of these students was on September 25, 1927 which was advertised at the bottom of this Minneapolis Daily Star Newspaper article.
