It was in 1967, and I was on a spiritual pilgrimage to India to study with the Maharishi Mahesh Yogi. That was before the Beatles saw him, by the way, when not too many people knew of him. Anyway, I visited the Taj and noticed its wonderful sound. Paul Horn
All of us, at different times of life, are looking for answers. It happened to me a decade ago and led me to the path of wanting to know more. I read Osho, Sadhguru, Deepak Chopra, and Parmananda Yogi. I haven’t found the ultimate answer. The journey is the answer. Kirti Kulhari
A true yogi may remain dutifully in the world; there, he is like butter on water and not like the easily-diluted milk of unchurned and undisciplined humanity. Paramahansa Yogananda
In the spring of 1968, The Beatles and I were invited by Maharishi Mahesh Yogi to travel to Riskikesh, India. Riskikesh has been an important spiritual place to many millions of people over the years. It is situated where the Ganges River flows out of the Himalayas, and to be in that atmosphere was something incredibly special. Mike Love
I am what we call a ‘karma yogi’ in Sanskrit. A karma yogi is somebody who believes in data. I collect a lot of data. N. R. Narayana Murthy
The yogi should meditate on a firm seat, one that is clean – untainted by dirt or unspiritual vibrations of others. The thought or life force emanating from an individual saturates the objects he uses and his dwelling. Paramahansa Yogananda
You know that Yogi and Huckleberry didn’t just belong to the kids. Grownups know all about our animal friends. William Hanna
When the yogi starts to meditate, he must leave behind all sensory thoughts and all longings for possessions by quieting the waves of feeling (chitta), and the mental restlessness that arises therefrom, through the application of techniques that reinstate the controlling power of the untrammeled superconsciousness of the soul. Paramahansa Yogananda
I’ve read ‘Autobiography of a Yogi’ at different ages and interpret something new each time. Shriya Saran
I’m a yogi, not a businessman. Bikram Choudhury
The ordinary man considers solids and liquids and the energy manifestations of the material world to be vastly different, but the yogi sees them as various vibrations of the one cosmic light. Paramahansa Yogananda
With acting, I started very young, and I’d performed for a lot of children in boarding schools, late at night after the dormitory lights were out. I’d have a flashlight, and I’d be Count Dracula, or Shakespeare, or Yogi Bear, and leap from bunk to bunk. I loved the laughter; I liked the way it made people feel. C. C. H. Pounder
A swami may conceivably follow only the path of dry reasoning, of cold renunciation; but a yogi engages himself in a definite, step-by-step procedure by which the body and mind are disciplined, and the soul liberated. Paramahansa Yogananda
I feel, first of all, very privileged that these people think enough of me that they made me commissioner. And it’s almost like, as Yogi Berra said, ‘deja vu all over again.’ Bobby Hull
To me, getting a chance to meet Yogi Berra and knowing how long he played and what he accomplished… I’m a huge fan of it. I’m just as enthralled as anybody else. Maybe a little bit more, because I understand the difficulty of what he accomplished. Buster Posey
I’m a big yogi. Rachel Platten
I’m not a yogi, but I know the sun salutation. Marc Jacobs
No one can be a yogi, maintaining a state of mental equilibrium, free from inner involvement in planned desireful activities, unless he has renounced identification with his ego and its unsatisfiable lust for the fruits of actions. Paramahansa Yogananda
I find my earliest memories covering the anachronistic features of a previous incarnation. Clear recollections came to me of a distant life, a yogi amidst the Himalayan snows. These glimpses of the past, by some dimensionless link, also afforded me a glimpse of the future. Paramahansa Yogananda
If you mentioned Hanna-Barbera to people, they said, ‘Oh yeah, Flintstone, Yogi, Scooby-Doo, Jetsons,’ and that was pretty much it. We have characters with very high recognition factors and great films, but no organized plans for really making the most of them and increasing their value. Fred Seibert
Some of the stuff about Yogi energy is really fascinating. Kathy Acker
Those who call Bharat Mata as ‘dayan,’ who does not acknowledge Kashmir as part of India and use foul language against our PM Modi and CM Yogi Adityanath, stands exposed before people. Their anger is visible when I meet them and they share their views. Jaya Prada
Religion is a comprehensive concept. According to our learned people, our scholars, to pave the path for public welfare in worldly life and to provide spiritual uplift is part of religion. I think a yogi can do both things quite easily. And I manage to balance both worldly and spiritual concerns. Yogi Adityanath
Playing for Yogi is like playing for your father; playing for Billy is like playing for your father-in-law. Don Baylor
If you are healthy as a yogi all day every day, then a cheeseburger with your kids is not going to undo anything. Chloe Madeley
When I was 20-something, 30, I fell down a flight of stairs and hurt my back. I went to a therapist who said don’t get out of bed until you do certain stretches, and I’ve been doing them ever since. I guess I’m the original yogi. Carl Reiner
I am under no illusion that yoga is the solution to all issues! That’s why I am a very open-minded yogi. Mandy Ingber

In the world, there are countless Sadhus, Mahatmas, Mahapurushas, Saints, Yogis, and Walis, though the number of genuine ones is very, very limited. I am neither a Mahatma nor a Mahapurush, neither a Sadhu nor a Saint, neither a Yogi nor a Wali. I am the ancient One. The Highest of the High! Meher Baba
Yogi Adityanath is my Lord Krishna and I am his Arjuna. Under his leadership I will work to develop Gorakhpur as one of the best cities in north India. Ravi Kishan
‘Yogi Bear’ changed my life in ways that I can’t explain because it’s not a full feature on me. ‘Yogi Bear’ – there’s everything before ‘Yogi Bear,’ and there’s everything after ‘Yogi Bear.’ Like a major car accident, or the birth of Christ. T. J. Miller
What I believe in touches many aspects of religious and spiritual thought. Mainly I’m influenced and inspired by the eastern yogi’s aspect of mysticism, Which is, I think, the future. Dave Davies
The yogi offers his labyrinthine human longings to a monotheistic bonfire dedicated to the unparalleled God. This is indeed the true yogic fire ceremony, in which all past and present desires are fuel consumed by love divine. Paramahansa Yogananda

India brings out so many different feelings in me. I’ve been fascinated with India and Indian culture as long as I can remember – ever since the ’60s with the Beatles and Maharishi Mahesh Yogi. Joe Perry
Yogi seemed to be doing everything wrong, yet everything came out right. Mel Ott
