    God is as Close to You as Your Thought Allows Him to be | YSS Sangam 2023 | Swami Shraddhananda

    God is as Close to You as Your Thought Allows Him to be | YSS Sangam 2023 | Swami Shraddhananda

    Streamed live on Feb 14, 2023 #paramahansayogananda #YSS #Yogananda

    Daya Mataji says: "Remember that God is as close to you as your thought allows Him to be. He is omnipresent. If at this moment you accept that He is with you, just behind your closed eyes, you will feel His nearness." When you have that faith, that God is just a thought away, and is ever lovingly attentive to us, how much more frequently would we turn to Him and rejoice in His company?

    This talk is given by Yogoda Satsanga Society of India sannyasi Swami Shraddhananda Giri.
    This video is part of the 2023 Sangam with YSS/SRF President, a five-day programme of spiritual renewal and upliftment which includes inspirational talks based on Paramahansa Yoganandaji’s “how-to-live” teachings, online group meditations, kirtans (devotional chanting), and more.

    The Healing Power of Forgiveness | YSS Sangam 2023 | Swami Smaranananda

    Streamed live on Feb 13, 2023 #paramahansayogananda #YSS #Yogananda

    "One should forgive, under any injury. It hath been said that the continuation of the species is due to man’s being forgiving. Forgiveness is the might of the mighty.”
    With these words, the Mahabharata emphasizes how supremely vital it is to forgive our wrongdoers. The person who forgives experiences a cleansing and refreshing freedom.
    This talk by Yogoda Satsanga Society of India sannyasi Swami Smaranananda Giri emphasizes how practising the divine quality of forgiveness is more beneficial for the one who forgives than the one forgiven while opening the doors to inner peace and tranquility.

    "Kriya Yoga: Quickening Our Human Evolution" | Draupadi Mai

    "Kriya Yoga: Quickening Our Human Evolution" | Draupadi Mai

    Streamed live on Nov 13, 2022 • #ParamahansaYogananda #YSS #kriyayoga

    Self-Realization Fellowship sannyasini Draupadi Mai shares wisdom from the teachings of Sri Sri Paramahansa Yogananda in her talk on: “Kriya Yoga: Quickening Our Human Evolution.” She begins with a quote by Yoganandaji — “The purpose and goal of Yoga is to regain the lost paradise of soul consciousness by which man knows that he is, and ever has been, one with Spirit.”

    Draupadi Mai explains that by the specific practice of the sacred science of Kriya Yoga, we can regain that lost paradise of soul consciousness, and by reclaiming our forgotten divinity we can also free ourselves from the fear and suffering that this world of inconstancies brings—and find safety in the ever-new joy of changeless Spirit.

    “Paramahansa Yoganandaji says that yoga is not only a means for God-communion, but self-transformation; we must consciously attempt to purify unwanted behaviours to prepare us for higher states of realization,” Mai said, explaining how we can anchor our consciousness in our true nature, so we can express our soul qualities of peace, harmony, intuitive insight. Referring to the definition of yoga by the ancient Indian sage Patanjali: “Chitta Vritti Nirodha,” or the cessation of the whirlpool of thoughts and emotions that ceaselessly arise within us, Mai explained: “By Kriya Yoga meditation, the mind and emotions become calm and undisturbed….Then we can also view situations and people with clarity; respond respectfully and clearly to the challenges we face or the activities we engage in; and in all situations to live a dharmic life making wise choices that align with right living.”

    This discourse was live-streamed on the closing day of a three-day spiritual programme at YSS Ranchi ashram on Sunday, November 13, 2022.

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

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

    Streamed live on Jul 4, 2020 #Yogananda #Guru #YogaMeditation

    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.
