The Wisdom of Paramahansa Yogananda
Self-Realization Fellowship monks and nuns share Paramahansa Yogananda’s profound inspiration, and their own stories of applying his practical teachings on meditation and balanced living, to encourage you to have a truly victorious life — transcending limitations, fear, and suffering — by awakening to the infinite power and joy of your real Self: the soul.
The teachings of Paramahansa Yogananda (author of Autobiography of a Yogi) and his renowned line of gurus offer to people of all cultures, races, and creeds the means to free themselves from physical, mental, and spiritual inharmonies — a way of life of inner happiness and all-round success. To facilitate the spread of his “how-to-live” teachings worldwide — including the spiritual principles and meditation techniques of Kriya Yoga — Yogananda founded Self-Realization Fellowship (SRF) in 1920 and established the headquarters for his work in Los Angeles, California, shortly thereafter.
Join us for each new episode of "The Wisdom of Paramahansa Yogananda."
“Self-realization is the knowing — in body, mind, and soul — that we are one with the omnipresence of God; that we do not have to pray that it come to us, that we are not merely near it at all times, but that God's omnipresence is our omnipresence; that we are just as much a part of Him now as we ever will be. All we have to do is improve our knowing.” — Paramahansa Yogananda

Yoga and the Steps to Unconditional Love
In this inspirational service, SRF monk Brother Bhumananda shares Paramahansa Yogananda’s wisdom on the steps that a spiritual seeker can take on the path of yoga to satisfy the heart’s deepest longing for love. The service includes a period of guided yoga meditation.
This talk was recording in January, 2021, at the SRF Mother Center in Los Angeles.
In discussing unconditional love and steps to take to experience it, Brother Bhumananda draws ideas from works by Paramahansa Yogananda, Sri Daya Mata—one of Yogananda’s foremost disciples—and Swami Sri Yukteswar, Yogananda’s own guru.
