As a divine friend, the true guru offers a perfect example of unconditional love, and guides the disciple with wisdom and liberating techniques of meditation along the spiritual path. Having attained the supreme goal of blissful oneness with Spirit, a true guru is uniquely able to help the truth-seeker reach his or her own realization of the soul.
This talk by SRF monk Brother Satyananda was part of the 2026 SRF World Convocation, a free weeklong program of classes on Paramahansa Yogananda’s “how-to-live” teachings and meditation techniques, guided group meditations and kirtans (devotional chanting), virtual pilgrimage tours to the ashrams where Paramahansaji lived and communed with the Divine, and more.
