  • The Importance of Paramahansa Yogananda’s Kriya Yoga Path in Today’s World | Brother Satyananda

    Streamed live on Aug 11, 2020 #SRFConvocation #Yogananda

    SRF minister Brother Satyananda gives a class on Paramahansa Yogananda’s teachings as part of the 2020 SRF Online World Convocation. Brother Satyananda discusses how Yogananda’s guidance can successfully show us ways to navigate the tests and trials of life, and at the same time bring a growing peace and harmony to ourselves and others. This class is part of the Day 3 (Tuesday) schedule for the 2020 Convocation.

    Brother Satyananda explains that while this world seems to be increasingly mired in chaos, confusion, and division, Paramahansa Yogananda gave all seekers of truth the tools to rise above any environment they may find themselves in. What are the principles and techniques that will help us? How are we supposed to “live in the world but not of it”? These are the questions explored in this class.
    The 2020 Self-Realization Fellowship World Convocation is a week of online classes, meditations, virtual pilgrimages to ashram centers where Yogananda lived, kirtans (devotional chanting), and more—offering all seekers of higher consciousness and balanced spiritual living a unique experience of peace and joy.
    This year SRF is honoring the 100th anniversary of Yogananda’s arrival in the West and the beginning of his worldwide work. In celebration of this milestone, the 2020 Convocation—a truly worldwide event—is being offered to all for free.
    Paramahansa Yogananda viewed the Self-Realization Fellowship Lessons as the very core of the teachings he was ordained to bring to the world as a special spiritual dispensation for the coming global civilization. To learn more and apply for the SRF Lessons: https://yogananda.org/lessons

  • The Science of Religion: The Eternal Message of Paramahansa Yogananda’s First Talk in America | Brother Jayananda

    Streamed live on Aug 11, 2020 #SRFConvocation #Yogananda #ScienceOfReligion

    SRF monk Brother Jayananda delivers a class on the theme of Paramahansa Yogananda’s first talk in America, as part of the 2020 SRF Online World Convocation. Yogananda’s talk, “The Science of Religion,” was given 100 years ago, shortly after the Guru’s arrival in America, and though it was given at a specific time and place — its message is eternal.

    This Convocation class will explore the ongoing legacy of this message — and how we can implement it in our daily lives, doing our part to usher in a new, more spiritual age. This class is part of the Day 2 (Monday) schedule for the 2020 Convocation.

    Yogananda’s book The Science of Religion is a profoundly simple and concise exposition of the common goal of all true religions. As stated in that book: “It is a universal message, based not on dogmatic beliefs, but on direct insight into Reality, gained through the practice of ancient scientific techniques of meditation.”

  • The Need for a True Guru in One's Life | How-to-Live Inspirational Satsanga | Swami Smaranananda Giri

    Jul 4, 2020 #YogodaSatsangaSociety #Yogananda #Guru

    The satsanga includes an opening prayer, a chant, a period of silent meditation, and an inspirational talk by Swami Smaranananda Giri on “The Need for a True Guru in One's Life.” It concludes with praying for all, the practice of Paramahansa Yogananda's healing technique, and a closing prayer.

    * * *
    A common man has a limited understanding of the need for a true guru on the spiritual path, and indeed for life itself. Swami Smaranananda shares insights into this topic during the talk.
    - The guru is the speaking voice of silent God. Also, the guru is the awakened God, awakening the sleeping God in the disciple. The guru creates equality with himself in the disciple. Hence the need for a true Guru in our lives.
    - A true guru who attained God-consciousness attunes himself with Bhagavan Krishna or Patanjali or Chaitanya or Christ and absorbs the real meaning of their teachings and guides us accordingly.
    - Even avatars and great ones like Lord Ram, Bhagavan Krishna, Adi Shankaracharya, and Saint Kabir had gurus. That is the spiritual law.
    - Swamiji also explains, through examples, that a devotee need not necessarily be in the physical presence of a guru to receive guidance - one may do so through devotional and mental attunement.
    * * *
    In his “how-to-live” teachings, Paramahansa Yogananda has given to people of all cultures, races, and creeds the means to free themselves from physical, mental, and spiritual inharmonies — to create for themselves a life of enduring happiness and all-round success.
