July 18, 2023 A Meditation Led by Brother Chidananda | A Message of Spiritual Assurance
Mar 15, 2020
A special meditation service led by SRF/YSS President Brother Chidananda, including a message of spiritual assurance on how to deal with the challenging times we are now facing. As part of the meditation, Brother Chidananda conducts a healing service to help SRF/YSS members and friends worldwide establish greater attunement with and trustingly call upon the all-powerful Divine Presence, which is always with us.
Self-Realization Fellowship was founded by Paramahansa Yogananda in 1920 to spread worldwide the Kriya Yoga teachings of his line of gurus. (Yogoda Satsanga Society of India is the name by which Yogananda’s work is known in his motherland.) The science of meditation taught as part of the Kriya Yoga path includes those techniques that Yogananda said bring the greatest healing to body, mind, and soul. His Self-Realization Fellowship Lessons give instruction in those techniques, and in how to live a balanced spiritual life.
