November 04, 2024

This 9-minute video is a short excerpt from a talk given in India in 2023 by Brother Chidananda, president and spiritual head of Self-Realization Fellowship/Yogoda Satsanga Society of India.

Brother Chidananda explains that through the science of meditation — especially the techniques of pranayama (life-force control) taught by Paramahansa Yogananda as part of the Kriya Yoga path — we can gradually but steadily elevate and purify our consciousness. Ultimately, we reach a state of true freedom from maya (the cosmic force of delusion) and our own ignorance of our real Self. By the practice of Kriya Yoga meditation, more and more we can awaken within ourselves kindness, loyalty, respect, devotion and all the divine sattvic qualities of our soul-nature.

You can watch the full talk, which was delivered at the closing program in Hyderabad of the “2023 YSS Sangam,” on the SRF YouTube channel.

If you would like to put this inspiration into practice in your daily life, please consider learning more about the Self-Realization Fellowship Lessons, the home-study course in which Paramahansa Yogananda presents his comprehensive instruction in the science of meditation and art of balanced spiritual living.
