Paramahansa Yogananda: Raise the level of consciousness

Sri Krishna’s message in the Bhagavad Gita is the perfect answer for the modern age, and any age: Yoga of dutiful action, of nonattachment, and of meditation for God-realization. To work without the inner peace of God is Hades; and to work with His joy ever bubbling through the soul is to carry a portable paradise within, wherever one goes.

The path advocated by Sri Krishna in the Bhagavad Gita is the moderate, medium, golden path, both for the busy man of the world and for the highest spiritual aspirant. To follow the path advocated by the Bhagavad Gita would be their salvation, for it is a book of universal Self-realization, introducing man to his true Self, the soul—showing him how he has evolved from Spirit, how he may fulfill on earth his righteous duties, and how he may return to God. The Gita’s wisdom is not for dry intellectualists to perform mental gymnastics with its sayings for the entertainment of dogmatists; but rather to show a man or woman living in the world, householder or renunciant, how to live a balanced life that includes the actual contact of God, by following the step-by-step methods of yoga.

THE SRF LESSONS

The SRF Lessons teach you how to live a balanced and successful life by awakening your connection to the Divine. The SRF Lessons are a transmission of sacred knowledge that will uplift and transform all aspects of your life: a progressive, home-study program teaching meditation techniques and the essence of spirituality handed down through a renowned lineage of yoga masters — Mahavatar Babaji, Lahiri Mahasaya, Swami Sri Yukteswar, and Paramahansa Yogananda — and available to you.

The Lessons were originated by Paramahansa Yogananda. At the core of his teachings is a powerful system of meditation techniques: the Kriya Yoga science of meditation. This ancient science of the soul—to which millions have been introduced by Autobiography of a Yogi and other books by him—provides powerful methods for awakening higher spiritual consciousness and the inner bliss of divine realization.

From the very first Lesson, you receive definite methods by which you can experience the benefits of meditation immediately.

While building a solid foundation for deep meditation, you will learn three powerful techniques taught by Paramahansa Yogananda as necessary first steps in the comprehensive spiritual science of Kriya Yoga: Energization Technique and Exercises, Hong-Sau Technique of Concentration and Aum Technique of Meditation.

Any devotee who will emulate Arjuna—epitome of the ideal disciple—and perform his rightful duty with nonattachment, and perfect his practice of yoga meditation through a technique such as Kriya Yoga, will similarly draw the blessings and guidance of God and win the victory of Self-realization.

As God talked with Arjuna, so will He talk with you. As He lifted up the spirit and consciousness of Arjuna, so will He uplift you. As He granted Arjuna supreme spiritual vision, so will He confer enlightenment on you.

We have seen in the Bhagavad Gita the story of the soul’s journey back to God—a journey each one must make. O divine soul! like Arjuna, “Forsake this small weakheartedness (of mortal consciousness). Arise!” Before you is the royal path.

Yoga meditation is the process of cultivating and stabilizing the awareness of one’s real nature, through definite spiritual and psychophysical methods and laws by which the narrow ego, the flawed hereditary human consciousness, is displaced by the consciousness of the soul.

This is what every child should learn in school. First

please keep using this kindy voiceover these texts, because it is much better than robotic voiceover

Bhgavad Gita found me. I was in SanDiego on the beach of Carlsbad. A young man approached me and asked how I was feeling after he watch me meditating for a while. I said “ I’m feeling love”. He said “may I give this to you? “ “ I am from The Society for Krishna Consciousness” I was immediately intrigued. You see I was in a state of letting go and accepting what the Lord has in store for me. This young yogi was the first encounter after asking God to guide me. I knew this wasn’t a coincidence he was very focused and light 💡 in his delivery to me. I said” You are from God huh” Lol we laughed and he said “ Absolutely “ we sat I. Silence for moment with both of our eyes closed as if to get an answer from God. We got it. Journey to self awareness I am truly grateful for your video it is helping me to allow Bhagavad GITA to enter into my soul much easier. Thank you 🙏

Your voice is a gift to speak these teachings

"The next step"

I find the perfection of creation within the silence
I am like a cloud suspended in nothingness
My empty mind sends a sign that it's ready
A new era of my life is coming

I no longer have to defend myself against the behavior of others
Disabled my ego no longer reacts to anything
My heart filled with guidance from the Almighty
I float like a leaf on the water that flows with the current of life

I am slowly beginning to understand the rules of this game
It is not appropriate for me to be angry at a product of my own creation
What surrounds me it is a part of my own dream
Only love and understanding in my heart, what else otherwise

Many thanks 🙏and many blessings 👍😊🍀💕

[starevr]

This makes more sense than anythingI have studied befor!

[paparingo]

Your beautiful voice puts me in a trance 😊

[joanneisabella]

I'm so thankful that I can listen to the words of Paramhansa Yogananda! Thank you!🙏💕😇

Ego holds 5 outer search lights to reveal matter.
Soul holds 5 inner search lights that reveal God.

Body becomes light, energy and thoughts.

Thanks Yogananda. 20 October 2023.🌹🤩🦅🤠🌟🚣‍♂️

Video and photos you choose is great ❤ not to mention the narration

[christyis]

I love this! Wonderful narrator, beautiful, calm wise, uplifting voice with perfect pace so the wisdom is readily absorbed. So often the pace is too fast, voice harsh but this is truly quite lovely for such blessed wisdom from the Master. Grateful, thank you! 🙏

[Joesivh]

One of first moments of enlightenment came from a book you wrote, "What is Lightbody, " I just want to express my deepest gratitude towards Paramahansa Yogananda. You are truly a inspiration to this world, thank you so much =)

[JoelieRollie]

Wow the analogy of "an endless siege of peace against the armies of restlessness will establish an eternal kingdom of peace" was Elite Thank you Yogananda!

[carolinehuisman]

What a beautiful video. I love the teachings of PY and I can truly recommend the Self Realization Fellowship study. But as mentioned in the video, we have to practice meditation too. Without practicing meditation daily we will not experience the beautiful benefits of these teachings. On the other hand, only practicing meditation without knowing the theory of the higher states of conciousness might also unsettle us. Namasté 🙏

[spidermartialarts]

i just journaled about restlessness and calmness and came upon this at the perfect time 🙏🏽 the breakdown is exactly what i needed
