Neuroplasticity and the Yoga Science of Meditation — Video of Brother Chidananda

March 01, 2021

During the January 5, 2021, devotional service to commemorate the birth of Paramahansa Yogananda, SRF/YSS President Brother Chidananda explained how India’s ancient science of yoga — with its central facets of meditation techniques and the guru-disciple relationship — teaches us how to make the most of what modern scientists describe as neuroplasticity, the brain’s ability to be “rewired” to achieve its greatest potential.

Below we present an excerpt from that January 5th event.

You can find the video of the full commemoration service on our Weekly & Special Services page under the title “Paramahansa Yogananda Birthday Commemoration With Brother Chidananda.”
