        • Focus and Faith with Furio Sclano on the Spirit Led Podcast

          In this episode of the Spirit Led podcast, Furio Sclano shares his journey with Kriya Yoga and lessons learned with his guru Roy Eugene Davis. Furio reveals how Mr. Davis taught him to remain focused on the spiritual path and to trust the benevolent power nurturing the universe. Through stories of his own life, his advice from Roy Eugene Davis, and his study of the Kriya gurus’ writings, Furio provides valuable insights into how to be successful on the spiritual path and in life.

           

          Key Themes & Memorable Moments: Many moments of grace: From finding Roy Eugene Davis through a randomly chosen video to blessings encountered after his home burned down to a good samaritan returning his lost cash, Furio has learned not to be afraid of the unknown. Practical lessons from Roy Eugene Davis: Among others…motivation comes from within, keep the teachings pure, and maintain your integrity. Favorite quotes! “When you have to face a challenging situation, and you don’t know what to do, just be faithful about the fact that the superior intelligence, which is inside and outside of you at the same time, will take care of the situation, and stop thinking about the problem. This works all the time. Maybe not in the way you expect, but usually in a better way.” "Practicing meditation every single day, little by little, faith is replaced by knowledge."

           

          About Furio Sclano: Furio Sclano, a dedicated Kriya Yoga minister based in Savona, Italy, studied under Roy Eugene Davis from 1996 until Mr. Davis’s passing in 2019 and was ordained by him in 2005. He has translated many of Mr. Davis’s books and articles into Italian, making these teachings more accessible to a wider audience.
