"I wasn't sent to the West by Christ and the great masters of India," Yogananda often told his audiences, "to dogmatize you with a new theology. Jesus himself asked Babaji to send someone here to teach you the science of Kriya Yoga, that people might learn how to commune with God directly. I want to help you toward the attainment of actual experience of Him, through your daily practice of Kriya Yoga."

He added, "The time for knowing God has come!"
