The Wisdom of Paramahansa Yogananda

SRF monk Brother Achalananda conveys wisdom from Paramahansa Yogananda on how we can find ultimate fulfillment when we learn to experience and express that true soul-nature in our relationships with others.
The nature of the soul is pure love, understanding, and compassion. As we persevere in the practices of the spiritual path discussed in this talk, we allow divine love to flow from within — increasingly filling our hearts and lives with the infinite bliss of Spirit.
In this talk Brother Achalananda refers to Yogananda, guru and founder of Self-Realization Fellowship/Yogoda Satsanga Society of India, simply as “Master,” being a reverential way to address one’s guru and signifying a soul who has achieved full self-mastery.
This talk was recorded at the 2004 SRF World Convocation in Los Angeles.

SRF monk Brother Kartikananda conveys wisdom from Paramahansa Yogananda on the divine consciousness that was perfectly embodied and manifested by Jesus — known as the Christ Consciousness, God’s universal consciousness in creation.
How can we understand the true nature of Jesus Christ in a way that brings greater peace and love into our lives and into our world, during the Christmas season or at any time? The teachings and exemplary life of Christ show us the way to our own spiritual realization. By striving to emulate his divine qualities of forgiveness and compassion — and by our communing with God in meditation — we can tune in with the infinite love of Christ Consciousness.
This talk was given at the SRF temple in Glendale, California, in December 2024.
