Self-Realization Fellowship monks and nuns share Paramahansa Yoganandas 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 Language: en-us Genres: Religion & Spirituality, Spirituality Contact email: Get it Feed URL: Get it iTunes ID: Get it |

Intuition and Trust in God: Guiding Lights in a Chaotic World
Episode 74
Friday, 6 March, 2026
SRF monk Brother Ishtananda conveys wisdom from Paramahansa Yogananda on why we would want to make cultivating our intuition a priority and how greater intuition will allow us to make better choices — even when outer circumstances are difficult or chaotic.Each of us has the potential to develop our intuition — the soul’s natural ability to directly perceive Truth — and use its power to improve our lives. And on the spiritual path, it is through intuition that we come to experience the peace and harmony, and ultimately the ever new joy, of Spirit within.In this talk Brother Ishtananda refers to Yogananda, guru and founder of Self-Realization Fellowship/Yogoda Satsanga Society of India, simply as “Guruji” — “ji” being a suffix denoting respect, added to names and titles in India — or “Gurudeva,” a customary Sanskrit term for one’s spiritual preceptor; or “Master,” one who has achieved self-mastery.Brother Ishtananda also refers to Sri Daya Mata, beloved third president of SRF/YSS, simply and reverentially as “Ma.”This talk was recorded at the 2007 SRF World Convocation in Los Angeles.You can help more people find and benefit from Yogananda’s practical wisdom by rating and reviewing this podcast.
