Dwapara Yuga - No birth, no death

In the original version of Cosmic Chants in 1938, Yogananda recommended the song "No Birth, No Death" for overcoming religious, racial or social prejudice, and for achieving non-attachment to all human ties. It was the song that he sang at the time of his entrance into the Swami Order in 1915.

His explanations are no longer offered in the current SRF version but the vibration remains in the song -

"No birth, no death, no caste have I. No I

Father, mother have I none.

I am He, I am He; blessed Spirit. I am He

Mind, nor intellect, nor ego Chitta (feeling or emotion).

Sky, nor earth, nor metals am I.

I am He, I am He; blessed Spirit. I am He."

The sentiment seems to aptly cover observing but not getting wrapped up in many of the themes in this Dwapara Yuga blog from

- Scientific and medical discoveries
- Expansion of travel and communication networks
- Political progress
- Social progress
- Economic progress
- Spiritual awakening
- Important books
- Ends of wars
- Pandemics, natural and man-made disasters
- Recent events echoing corresponding past events

Through Kriya Yoga, although the age itself is slowly advancing a student can move ahead of the curve depending on the depth of her practice. Buddha, Moses, Krishna, Christ, Mohammet, Nanak Dev and other sages/prophets/gurus (having Christic or Saintly consciousness) are always representatitve of the pinnacle of Treta Yuga no matter at what time in the Yuga Cycles they appear. The outer forms of religions change but the inner truths remain constant. True Masters are always in agreement no matter how much their spiritually ignorant and zealous follower fight one another.
