In the midst of a busy life John became a famous singer he found time for meditation and for correspondence with his Guru, Yogananda. In his later years, Rev. Laurence gave much-treasured sermons in various churches and drew about him a group of devoted students. He passed away peacefully in 2003 at the age of ninety-five. Elana Joan Cara (editor) has been a devotee of Paramhansa Yogananda for more than thirty years, and studied closely with Rev. John Laurence from 1978 until his death in 2003." See less
