Yogananda Monastics SRF YSS Convocation Paramahansa Yogananda

Nov 4, 2022 #ParamahansaYogananda #Yogananda​ #Patanjali

Brother Chidananda dives deeply into the subject of yama and niyama, the spiritual rules comprising the first two steps in the Eightfold Path of Yoga of Patanjali (enumerated in the Yoga Sutras). Brother Chidananda shares wisdom from Paramahansa Yogananda and his guru, Swami Sri Yukteswar, on how these simple but powerful rules form the true basis for successful practice of meditation.

These same universal laws in the yamas and niyamas, Paramahansa Yogananda explained, are found in the scriptures of all great religions of the world; and when we decide to make use of them daily they become a powerful force on our journey to soul freedom.

As Brother Chidananda says, these spiritual rules are not our masters but our servants, and he or she is their master who obeys them — creating thereby a solid and enduring foundation on which to build our spiritual lives, and ultimately attain liberation.

This talk was given at the 2011 SRF World Convocation; Brother Chidananda became president and spiritual head of Self-Realization Fellowship/Yogoda Satsanga Society of India in 2017.

Brother Chidananda mentions at one point an article by Sri Daya Mata, third president of SRF/YSS, which appeared in an issue of Self-Realization magazine. By subscribing to this magazine, founded by Paramahansa Yogananda in 1925, you also have access to an extensive online library of articles from Yogananda and his direct disciples, such as Sri Daya Mata and others, as well as unlimited listening to all the talks released as audio with the magazine: https://bookstore.yogananda-srf.org/p...

Brother Anandamoy (1922 – 2016), a much-loved and respected minister of Self-Realization Fellowship, explains how we can get beyond too much thinking about the future by concentrating instead on the true source of security to be found in communion with the Divine. 

He points out that this earth is not our home, but rather a school in which we are to learn that we are immortal souls and play our roles in this drama of creation from that divine and joyful perspective.

This talk was given at the 1983 SRF Convocation at the Biltmore Hotel in Los Angeles.

During this talk on the teachings of Paramahansa Yogananda, Brother Anandamoy often refers to Yogananda as “Master,” one who is master of himself, a soul that is one with the Divine and able to guide others on the spiritual path.

The Self-Realization Fellowship Lessons were established by Paramahansa Yogananda as a home-study course providing his personal instruction in the meditation techniques and teachings needed to achieve balanced living and to discover our blissful soul-nature. To learn more: https://srflessons.org

Self-Realization Fellowship monk Brother Ritananda shares wisdom from the teachings of Paramahansa Yogananda on the importance of cultivating both human and divine memory.

Brother Ritananda explains that a better memory helps us on the spiritual path because we can concentrate better, which is needed in meditation. And we can, through a developed memory, glean more easily the lessons we are meant to learn through life’s experiences, and avoid the same (and other) mistakes going forward.

This talk emphasizes that a good memory benefits us as a student, in our professional life, family life, every other aspect of our lives as we travel on the spiritual path.

This talk was given on January 10, 2022, at the SRF Lake Shrine Temple, in Pacific Palisades, California.

The Self-Realization Fellowship Lessons, Paramahansa Yogananda’s home-study course, provides the meditation techniques and teachings needed to achieve balanced living and to bring out our highest soul qualities in all aspects of life. To learn more: https://srflessons.org

Oct 7, 2022 #JoyfulLiving #ParamahansaYogananda #Yogananda​

Brother Achalananda, a senior monk and minister of Self-Realization Fellowship, shares wisdom from Paramahansa Yogananda about the relationship between love and seeking joy — and how to bring more joy into our lives by seeking it inside our soul in deep meditation. For then we go to the source of joy.

We can also increase and maintain our joy in diverse ways, such as through sincere smiles. “When you smile sincerely the Prince of Smiles is canopied beneath your celestial brow,” Paramahansaji said. “Your soul smiles through your heart and your heart will smile through your eyes.” 

This talk from Brother Achalananda was given at an annual SRF World Convocation in 2007.

Sri Mrinalini Mata, fourth president of Self-Realization Fellowship/Yogoda Satsanga Society of India, gave this this talk in 1977, at the close of a four-month visit to YSS locations in India. She was then vice president of SRF and traveling with SRF nun Uma Mata. Yogoda Satsanga Society of India is the name by which Paramahansa Yogananda’s work in known in India and surrounding countries.

Sri Mrinalini Mata speaks lovingly of the Guru-given sadhana (spiritual path) that, if put into daily practice, will reveal the beautiful, all-satisfying divine love and joy that is hidden within us — and that manifests in our lives when we pursue our own Self-realization. 

Topics include: 
• How the Divine is trying to pull us back to Him through His great love 
• In-depth discussion of Patanjali’s eight-fold yogic path 
• Following a guru-given sadhana and making it “our own” 
• How to develop greater longing for the Divine 
• The one prayer that should be in every heart 

Mrinalini Mata mentions in her talk the Hong-Sau Technique of Concentration, Aum Technique of Meditation, and the technique of Kriya Yoga, all of which Paramahansa Yogananda taught to his followers. Paramahansaji created the Self-Realization Fellowship Lessons as the means to teach the science of meditation and art of balanced spiritual living to all who were interested. And you can learn about the Lessons and the techniques on the SRF website: https://srflessons.org
