About this episode
In this episode, SRF monk Brother Saralananda conveys wisdom from Paramahansa Yogananda on how our practice of repeating devotional thoughts of God can spiritualize and elevate our lives. Would you like to feel a buoyancy and flow of divine inspiration throughout every day? When we keep our consciousness centered on feeling the loving presence of God and sending that love to others, all of our daily actions become stepping stones to an ever closer relationship with the Divine — as we strive to unite fully with the universal love, joy, and wisdom of Spirit. This talk was recorded at the SRF temple in Fullerton, California, in September 2023. You can help more people find and benefit from Yogananda's practical wisdom by rating and reviewing this podcast.
