    Paramhansa Yogananda was revising his book at his Encinitas study in early 1945 when his friend Dr. Lewis visited from Boston. Dr. Lewis commented on the new construction projects at the Fellowship property, including a miniature world colony intended to inspire ideal communities through example. Yogananda explained his vision for the colony to promote world citizenship and universal brotherhood through hosting conferences of different religions and building small temples dedicated to major faiths. He hoped to soon open a Kriya Yoga Institute to further teach the technique of self-realization.

    New Year's week of 1945 found me at work in my Encinitas study, revising the manuscript of this

    book.

    "Paramhansaji, please come outdoors." Dr. Lewis, on a visit from Boston, smiled at me pleadingly
    from outside my window. Soon we were strolling in the sunshine. My companion pointed to new
    towers in process of construction along the edge of the Fellowship property adjoining the coast
    highway.

    "Sir, I see many improvements here since my last visit." Dr. Lewis comes twice annually from
    Boston to Encinitas.

    "Yes, Doctor, a project I have long considered is beginning to take definite form. In these
    beautiful surroundings I have started a miniature world colony. Brotherhood is an ideal better
    understood by example than precept! A small harmonious group here may inspire other ideal
    communities over the earth."

    "A splendid idea, sir! The colony will surely be a success if everyone sincerely does his part!"

    "'World' is a large term, but man must enlarge his allegiance, considering himself in the light of a
    world citizen," I continued. "A person who truly feels: 'The world is my homeland; it is my
    America, my India, my Philippines, my England, my Africa,' will never lack scope for a useful and
    happy life. His natural local pride will know limitless expansion; he will be in touch with creative
    universal currents."

    Dr. Lewis and I halted above the lotus pool near the hermitage. Below us lay the illimitable
    Pacific.

    "These same waters break equally on the coasts of West and East, in California and China." My
    companion threw a little stone into the first of the oceanic seventy million square miles.
    "Encinitas is a symbolic spot for a world colony."

    "That is true, Doctor. We shall arrange here for many conferences and Congresses of Religion,
    inviting delegates from all lands. Flags of the nations will hang in our halls. Diminutive temples
    will be built over the grounds, dedicated to the world's principal religions.

    "As soon as possible," I went on, "I plan to open a Yoga Institute here. The blessed role of Kriya
    Yoga in the West has hardly more than just begun. May all men come to know that there is a
    definite, scientific technique of self-realization for the overcoming of all human misery!"
