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
The Wisdom of Paramahansa Yogananda
Living in Attunement With the Divine
In this inspiring talk Sri Mrinalini Mata, fourth president of Self-Realization Fellowship/Yogoda Satsanga Society of India, draws on her personal training from Paramahansa Yogananda and decades of experience living a God-centered life to share how we can bring about the perfect attunement with God which our souls seek.
Emphasizing the importance of developing an intuitive understanding of how to solve our problems, Sri Mrinalini Mata reminds us that Yogananda’s teachings offer guidance for every aspect of life — and she explains how we can open our hearts, minds, and souls to that sublime Divine Presence which is ever leading us onward toward the highest realization.
This talk was recorded in November 1977 at the Yogoda Satsanga Sakha Math in Ranchi, India.
