The following story recounts what Yogananda experienced after the death of his guru, Sri Yukteswar:
"Swamiji’s heart was heavy-laden. As he was going to sleep at night at his hotel, suddenly, like a dream, he saw Sriyukteshvarji physically appear in his room. Yoganandaji looked at Gurudev’s face and said, “Why are you so disappointed?! Are you offended so much?!” Swamiji retold this statement to the writer later; Nani Bhaya* (Nalini Mohan) was present at the time, along with one or two others; one cannot now recall exactly who they were. After this vision, Swamiji postponed his travel to America for the time being and returned with his assistants to Calcutta. It is true however that on New Year’s Day – January 1, 1937, during the first public speech after he went back to America, Yoganandaji described the above-mentioned event as the resurrection of Sriyukteshvarji. A professional in the psychological sciences may say that the vision was a reflection of Swamiji’s own pained state of mind."
