In this episode, SRF monk Brother Prafullananda conveys wisdom from Paramahansa Yogananda on how we can find the true happiness we are all seeking by experiencing the presence of the Divine within.
Have you ever wondered if it is possible to possess a lasting happiness, one that transcends the fleeting pleasures of this world?When we give priority to a daily practice of seeking God through meditation, we can discover a joy greater than we ever dreamed possible — in the ever new bliss of the soul. Moreover, by becoming “spiritual business people” — pragmatic and efficient in the way we hold on to that divine happiness — we can lead the most fulfilling and meaningful lives.
This talk was given at the SRF temple in Fullerton, California, in August 2022.

In this episode, SRF monk Brother Achalananda conveys wisdom from Paramahansa Yogananda on how we can find the greatest success and fulfillment in both our inner and outer endeavors.
Within each one of us lie divine powers — such as willpower, positive thought, and initiative — that enable us to achieve our noblest pursuits. When we continually practice these in our daily lives, while striving to attune with the Divine Will through meditation, we can build a truly successful life — one centered in the happiness and security of the soul.
In this talk Brother Achalananda refers to Yogananda, guru and founder of Self-Realization Fellowship/Yogoda Satsanga Society of India, simply as “Master,” being a reverential way to address one’s guru and signifying a soul who has achieved full self-mastery.
This talk was recorded at the 1995 SRF World Convocation in Los Angeles.

SRF monk Brother Achalananda presents ideas from Paramahansa Yogananda on how to attain an awareness of the Divine you can take with you wherever you go.
“God is omnipresent, God is everywhere, and so in this sense we automatically take Him with us wherever we go. But on the other hand, although He is everywhere, we are not always aware of Him. And so it is helpful to do things that remind us of God and that keep the consciousness of Him in our minds…”

In this episode, SRF nun Sister Usha conveys wisdom from Paramahansa Yogananda about the all-embracing Divine Mother, God in the aspect of perfect unconditional love.
We all yearn to be loved unconditionally — fully understood and accepted without reservation. When we approach God as a child appealing to our Divine Mother, we can experience the sympathetic understanding, tenderness, and nurturing care that our souls crave. And as we draw closer we ultimately realize that the Divine Mother sees us as we truly are — a beautiful, shining soul, one with Spirit.

SRF monk Brother Jayananda discusses positive ways we can approach all life’s situations as yogis in order to be successful spiritually: “When we talk about thanksgiving or gratitude, these are attitudes really—ways of thinking, or ways of approaching life.”
Drawing from Paramahansa Yogananda’s teachings and his experiences with Sri Daya Mata, SRF’s beloved third president, Brother Jayananda explains that right attitudes are just as much a foundational aspect of the science and practice of yoga as are right behaviors. He delves into the subjects of karma and justice, positivity of mind, evenmindedness, and practicing the presence of the Divine in daily life; and stresses that no matter what problems occur, we can maintain an attitude of thankfulness to become aware of God’s guidance and protection.

In this episode, SRF monk Brother Jayananda conveys wisdom from Paramahansa Yogananda on how we can find the true and lasting happiness that is the very nature of our souls.
Would you like to experience a happiness that is all-satisfying and never ends? All of us are looking for happiness, but the joy we get from outer conditions and experiences quickly fades. When we practice yoga meditation and follow the principles of spiritual living we discover a great treasure of happiness within that stays with us through the ups and downs of life — and helps us become attuned to the bliss of Spirit.

In this episode, SRF monk Brother Padmananda conveys wisdom from Paramahansa Yogananda on how we can awaken to the joy of Spirit that lies just behind the passing illusions of this world.
The yogis of ancient India said that this material world is a dream — so how can we wake up from this dream and experience true reality? When we focus on the pleasures and pains of life and our emotional reactions to them, they seem all too real. But through the practice of meditation and striving for evenmindedness we can learn to see the Divine Hand behind everything — and live in eternal peace, joy, and love.

In this talk, SRF nun Sister Preeti addresses questions such as “Why is it that some people are happy and others are not? What can we do to increase our inner happiness? Why should we try to be happy? How does our personal level of happiness affect others?”
She explains: “Our guru, Paramahansa Yogananda, assures us that happiness is the birthright of every soul. Each one of us, without exception, has access to the wellspring of inner spiritual happiness.”
“Each mortal being has in his heart a terrible hunger for happiness, love, peace, joy,” Paramahansa Yogananda said. And Sister Preeti states, “That hunger is implanted in us by God as part of His beautiful divine plan. Its purpose is to help turn our consciousness away from the world — which we come to realize cannot satisfy us, cannot provide the inner happiness that we crave — and direct us toward God, the source of all happiness, the repository of all peace, and love, and joy.”
This talk was given at the 2013 SRF World Convocation in Los Angeles.

Self-Realization Fellowship monk Brother Achalananda discusses ways we can cultivate faith—which, as Paramahansa Yogananda explained, goes beyond mere belief and is grounded in actual experience of the Divine within ourselves.
To cultivate faith, “we have to start with one quality which [Paramahansa Yogananda] mentions in his commentary on the Bhagavad Gita as being the foremost quality that every devotee has to develop to succeed in returning to God,” Brother Achalananda says. “And that quality is fearlessness….Fearlessness means faith in God.”
As we work to develop fearlessness, we have much more ability to make progress on the spiritual path because we are no longer holding ourselves back; we are going through life with the proper positive attitude, with increasing faith.
