Self-Realization Fellowship Blog

Below is an excerpt from “Strengthening Character by Developing Spiritual Courage and Endurance,” a talk given by Brother Chidananda at the 2015 SRF World Convocation. (Brother Chidananda became the fifth president and spiritual head of Self-Realization Fellowship/Yogoda Satsanga Society of India in 2017).

This video opens with Brother Chidananda quoting Paramahansa Yogananda as advising, “Day and night, affirm what you really are,” before leading three powerful affirmations to draw on our true identity and positive-minded strength as the soul, ever one with the Divine. Brother Chidananda also extols the practice of Paramahansaji’s Energization Exercises and discusses the relationship of the body to the spiritual eye, the single eye of intuition and omnipresent perception at the Christ (Kutastha) center (ajna chakra) between the eyebrows.

To learn Paramahansa Yogananda’s SRF Energization Exercises and the complete science of meditation taught as part of the Kriya Yoga path, we invite you read about and consider applying for the Self-Realization Fellowship Lessons, a comprehensive home-study course from Paramahansaji that shares his comprehensive how-to-live teachings for balanced spiritual living.

On the SRF website you can learn more about the science of affirmations and read an excerpt from Paramahansaji’s book Scientific Healing Affirmations, now in its 100^th year in print.
