Spiritual upliftment and enthusiasm gained in the company of fellow seekers is truly sustaining, but it can fade after a time if we don’t know how to hold onto it. Speaking at the close of the 2024 SRF World Convocation, Self-Realization Fellowship nun Sister Draupadi shares wisdom from Paramahansa Yogananda on how we can learn to carry within our hearts a readily accessible “portable paradise” wherever we go, whatever our outer role and duties are in this complex world.
This talk was part of the 2024 SRF World Convocation, a free weeklong program of in-person and online classes on Paramahansa Yogananda’s “how-to-live” teachings and meditation techniques, guided group meditations and kirtans (devotional chanting), pilgrimage tours to ashrams where Paramahansa Yogananda lived and communed with the Divine, and more.
