...in 1924, Swami Paramahansa Yogananda...called on Burbank in Santa Rosa several times. Over twenty years later, he would dedicate..."Autobiography of a Yogi," to "Luther Burbank, an American Saint," and devote an entire chapter ("A Saint Amid the Roses") to their discussions of the spirit that flowed through the universe. According to the yogi, Burbank told him "the secret of improved plant breeding, apart from scientific knowledge, is love." Yogananda also said Burbank confided he could heal the sick and communicate with the dead...David Fairchild, the USDA plant explorer...declared himself nonplussed when Burbank told him that he, his mother, and his sister all shared powers of clairvoyance...mystic seekers like Yogananda were happy to endorse Burbank's vision of universal harmony...
