Exploring the Lofty Kingdom of Loyalty | 2023 SRF World Convocation

Self-Realization Fellowship monk Brother Govindananda shares wisdom from Paramahansa Yogananda on the spiritual principle of loyalty. We live in a tumultuous period of transition in which many people have lost sight of the timeless principles that form the real basis of our happiness. Among these principles, Paramahansa Yogananda singled out loyalty as the highest — for loyalty, like God Himself, never waivers, deceives, or abandons. From this one great quality arises an unshakable faith in ourselves and each other, and attunement with the infinite wisdom of God.

This video is part of the 2023 SRF World Convocation, a free weeklong program of online 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 Yogananda lived and communed with the Divine, and more.
