There are now three iPhone or iPod Touch apps relating to the ideas of Kriya and the age of Dwapara Yuga on Apple's iTunes store.This summer saw Ananda Thailand launch a free Autobiography of a Yogi app and later this blog launched the Yuga Calendar Calculator app.
Ananda is just announcing the availability of a free app of daily inspirational quotes and accompanying audio explanations called "Do It Now!" by Swami Kriyananda, perhaps the best known of all Yogananda's direct disciples.
It's a marvelous thing that the inspiration of Kriya consciousness is so widely available around the world, in video, audio, books and now phone apps, not simply limited to a handful of people living in Northern or Southern California, or lucky enough to be in a large urban environment where groups of Kriyabans of whatever group meet.
The web and the iPhone are logical extensions of Yogananda's own ideas for widely disseminating the teachings, as he did first via newspaper ads, posters, large public lectures and then by study lessons and books, with more and more books, CDs and DVDs appearing in just the last 15-20 years from the private SRF archives and the pens of those still-living direct disciples (now often in their 80s and 90s).
Is there a place for titles like Hitechananda in Dwapara Yuga, or is hitech just another clever form of Maya, as materialistic in looking at quantum circuits as stacking bricks into ancient pyramids? A very large number of monastics in SRF and Ananda come from fields like architecture, aeronautical and software engineering.
