The Wisdom of Paramahansa YoganandaAuthor: Self-Realization Fellowship
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 |

Attuning Our Lives to the Love of God | Brother Chidananda
Episode 72
Friday, 20 February, 2026
Brother Chidananda, president and spiritual head of SRF/YSS, explains how we can learn the art of living in this world without losing our connection with and receptivity to the power and love of the Divine — giving us a foundation of evenmindedness, calmness, inner strength, and resilience to firmly plant our feet on as we face life’s challenges. When we can do this, he shares in this deeply encouraging talk, we are not only benefiting ourselves but truly serving the world.Brother Chidananda discusses three, interwoven “how-to-live sciences” as being very useful on the spiritual path — each one an integral part of the meditation teachings of Paramahansa Yogananda. They are: “The yoga science of identity and identification,” to help us find the ultimate answer to that most essential question: “Who am I?” “The yoga science of vibration,” to help us attune our lives with positive and uplifting forces in our environment, and especially the great cosmic creative vibration of Aum. “The yoga psychology of Paramahansa Yogananda,” to allow the Guru’s comprehensive wisdom to transform our mental environment and outlook — freeing the mind from its enslavement to the body and the limitations imposed by outer influences, so that it can be a willing instrument of the divine and ever-perfect soul. This talk was given in Sydney, Australia, in January 2025.You can help more people find and benefit from Yogananda’s practical wisdom by rating and reviewing this podcast.
