In this talk, given at the 2015 Self-Realization Fellowship World Convocation, SRF/YSS President Brother Chidananda leads the audience in the practice of several powerful affirmations and offers encouragement for successfully facing life’s difficulties. The text of these affirmations, for those who wish to use them again, can be found in the third edition of Where There Is Light by Paramahansa Yogananda, in chapter 14, “How to Use Thoughts of Immortality to Awaken Your True Self.”
