True Devotion: Living in God’s Presence Moment to Moment | How-to-Live Inspirational Service
SRF minister Brother Vishwananda discusses how we can more quickly and effectively achieve the ultimate goal of human life-Self-realization, oneness with the bliss of God-by understanding what devotion truly is and practicing it daily as we learn to “live in the moment.” He explains:
“Very few people understand what the purpose of life is. But our guru, Paramahansa Yogananda, has told us: The purpose of life is to find God. If we can cling to this one thought alone, how our lives will change! That thought gives perspective and power of direction to every aspect of our lives. We now have a measure for our every thought, feeling, and action: is this taking me closer to God, or is it taking me away from God? This reflects the real meaning of yoga: It is not just practice of techniques that we perform a few times per day and then go about our lives. It is a way of life that impacts us on all levels-physically, mentally, emotionally, and spiritually.”
Recorded at the 2012 SRF World Convocation, Brother Vishwananda states how wonderful it is to be at the #SRFConvocation-a weeklong immersion in the #KriyaYoga teachings of Yogananda-with SRF students from all over the world, gathering to set aside “all thoughts and cares of the world, the challenges that we all may be facing in our day-to-day lives, and just focus on loving God.”
Brother Vishwananda reminds the audience of words spoken by SRF’s fourth president, Sri Mrinalini Mata, earlier in the Convocation week, in which she pointed out that Convocation experience, though soon to come to and end, could serve as a beginning of a lasting and deeper awareness of and true devotion to the Divine. (This talk by Mrinalini Mata was published as “Filling the Vessel of Your Life With God’s Love” in the Winter 2012 and Spring 2013 issues of Self-Realization magazine.)
To learn about this year’s 2020 Convocation, which is open to the public free of charge and will take place entirely online, please visit: yogananda.org/srf-world-convo...
Topics discussed in #TrueDevotion include:
• The purpose of life
• The importance of living in the moment
• Making you relationship with God and Guru personal
• Yama-niyama-the first two steps in Patanjali’s Eightfold Path of Yoga, extolled in his Yoga Sutras, as the foundation of the spiritual practice of meditation
In his “how-to-live” teachings, Paramahansa Yogananda has given to people of all cultures, races, and creeds the means to free themselves from physical, mental, and spiritual inharmonies - to create for themselves a life of enduring happiness and all-round success.

Jay guriji.excelente ensinamentos quanta sabedoria
I will forever bless the day Gurudev Yogananda appeared to me, I was going through the dark night of the soul.... I didn’t know anything about him prior to him showing up, his message was, seak God instead of human love. I now love & know God because of him.
Aum Guru Jai Guru Manjula
Why is it that SRF's every monastic speaker is so eloquently spell binding and genuinely inspirational? Let there be subscribers in the millions to benefit from a treasure full of truly uplifting messages in this video Library!

I also wondered about this question. It is the grace and blessings of our Guru, as well as the power of the teachings and their own self-realization! “May thy love shine for ever on the sanctuary of our devotion and may we be able to awaken thy love in all hearts.”

Such a wonderfully inspirational talk that puts us on the path straight to God's light. Bless all who follow the path to God's light. Bless all who are in darkness still, that they be brought to the God's light.
I will NEVER forget Thee...........................................
The beautiful truth is this ,the truth can never be defeated ,it is the will of the cosmological constant [also known as God]. The future of humanity is unity in diversity ,that is humanities destiny.
The message is a sweet fragrance to my soul .
Much love and respect.
many thanks.

Wonderful talk . very inspiring. Thank you Swamiji 🙏🙏 Jai guru dev 🙏🙏
Very inspiring service Brother Vishvanandaji. I am thankful to Self Realization Fellowship for uploading this service. Jai Guru Jai Ma.
When I started watching this talk, I thought it would be the same as what has been contained on an audio talk previously included in a CD in a Self-Realization Magazine, but it seems very different! Evidently, I should listen again to the audio talks more often, as well as videos like these! Again and again, such beautiful, sweet, loving, wise, uplifting, practical and entertaining words! Thank you Brother Vishwananda! Thank you SRF! Let us all strive to live ever more perfectly, following Guruji. Jai Guru. 🙏 ❤ 😇
Thank you for stirring devotion into our hearts with all the warm anecdotes! Gurujii truly is omnipresent. It is always a joy for us to hear you speak, Brother Vishwanandaji! Jai Guru!
congratulations brother for now taking on the roll of vice-president. Always a great devotional talk.
Very Inspiring and touching.. Pranams Swamiji
Swamiji, thank you for this beautiful satsanga🙏
I love Brother Vishwananda's talks as they fill the heart with so much devotion and get us centered again. I've heard he is very humble in person. It shows in his talks also. Thank you for sharing this, SRF!

Meravigliosa conferenza piena di gioia e amore 🙏🌟🌈
How can one ever thank you enough, Br. Vishwananda? You are the living voice of the silent Guru. Haven't come across another person as radiant,glorious, inspiring and devoted like you. Each talk of yours is an example of dharma. So many examples. So many stories to catapult us right to omnipresence🙏🙏
Grande gioia!
How come, before I was a believer, I never found these videos? I wonder what I would’ve thought if I heard these talks in the days when I didn’t believe God was a worthwhile pursuit.
Very good stories and speech it stimulates me very good thoughts in my mind like a that scanner man
Reminds me of a loving blessings received from you at YSS center Noida; thanks for sharing the wonderful words 🙏🙏
So great

Estas palabras han sido paz para mi corazón y mi mente, mucha gracias🙏🧡
Although we have listened to this talk many times in our home by Brother, it is nice to see his face in this video. As with all the nuns and monks whose contenance reflect a garden of divine qualities we behold them and find inspiration. The face cannot hide what it harbors inside. The serenity of a God contemplative visage is seen and felt. It is interesting that Paramahansa Yogananda came during a time before Instagram and KZread; he is seen motionless in the frame of a photograph and etched in the pages of his writings. To see a talk by Master... to imagine that! We hear his voice and imagine the rest... evoking that personal relationship. An aside... is it possible to repost the online mediations for those who cannot attend the live meditations? Having children-- scheduled meditations don't always match up with our meditation time. Thankyou for all the online presence during this time and for the up coming Convocation. Looking forward to it. It will be interesting to see how it goes catering to an international 24 hour clock. Of which we are in France.
