SRF monk Brother Ekananda conveys wisdom from Paramahansa Yogananda on the transformative power of thought, and how we can cultivate positive, God‑centered thoughts that will help us remain evenminded, so we can respond more calmly to challenges we face and deepen our attunement with the Divine Presence within.

This talk with a period of meditation was given at the SRF Temple in Fullerton, California, in August 2025.
