SRF monk Brother Keshavananda conveys wisdom from Paramahansa Yogananda on the importance of discovering what role in life will satisfy our hearts and set us on the course of reaching true happiness.

As we focus on spiritualizing our daily activities, our unique talents and abilities unfold naturally — motivating both our search for the Divine and our selfless service to others. Through amusing stories, inspiring examples, and practical tips, this talk provides guidance helpful for anyone interested in finding a meaningful direction in life and bringing greater joy, peace, and harmony to our world.

This talk was given at the SRF temple in Encinitas, California, in April 2025.
