God First

“Heavenly Father, as we enter the New Year, may we behold through its open portals Thy glory, Thine ideals. May we feel with us always Thy power, Thy vitality, and Thy guidance to follow of our own accord, by continuous right activity, the direct path that leads to Thee.”

— Paramahansa Yogananda
“Journey to Self-realization”

"I am going to the hills to be alone with God," a student informed Paramahansa Yogananda. "You will not advance spiritually in that way," Paramahansaji replied. "Your mind is not yet ready to concentrate deeply on Spirit. Your thoughts will dwell mostly on memories of people and worldly pastimes, even though you remain in a cave. Cheerful performance of your earthly duties, coupled with daily meditation, is the better path." — Paramahansa Yogananda, "Sayings of Paramahansa Yogananda"

In this inspirational talk, SRF monk Brother Bhumananda illustrates how you can change the course of your life and beneficially influence the world through the practice of positive thinking and meditation as taught by Paramahansa Yogananda. To watch, visit: https://bit.ly/37bC2u7
