Living in the Love of God | Sri Daya Mata

In this deeply encouraging talk Sri Daya Mata, beloved third president of Self-Realization Fellowship/Yogoda Satsanga Society of India, shares many beautiful insights from her personal experience as one of Paramahansa Yogananda’s closest disciples. The God-love and tangible divine realization Sri Daya Mata so naturally radiates allows all to come away with renewed strength, inspiration, and commitment to making God’s unconditional love a reality in daily life.

Topics include:
• Experiencing the infinite love, joy, and peace of God
• The inestimable value of a true guru’s example and guidance
• The transforming power of daily communion with the Divine in meditation
• How learning to love God expands our hearts to want to help others
• Cultivating love, compassion, and understanding in our homes and in our world

Sri Daya Mata served as president of Self-Realization Fellowship/Yogoda Satsanga Society of India from 1955 until her passing in 2010.

This talk was recorded on August 2, 1985, at the annual SRF World Convocation in Los Angeles.

During her talk Sri Daya Mata often refers to Paramahansa Yogananda, guru and founder of SRF/YSS, simply as “Guruji” — “ji” being a suffix denoting respect, added to names and titles in India — or “Master,” one who has achieved self-mastery.

She also speaks of the Convocation participants as having had their “Kriya today” — referring to the sacred Kriya Yoga Ceremony that many of those present had attended. The Kriya technique, which is bestowed on eligible students of the Self-Realization Fellowship Lessons, is the highest technique in the system of meditation techniques taught by Paramahansa Yogananda and his lineage of gurus, known as Kriya Yoga. The Kriya Yoga path also embodies a complete philosophy and way of life.
