The Guru-Guide to Eternal Freedom | How-to-Live Inspirational Series

SRF minister Brother Anilananda discusses the importance of having a true guru on the spiritual path, in this talk given at the 2014 SRF World Convocation.
He quotes Paramahansa Yogananda’s words: “Most people could not become millionaires in this lifetime no matter how much they wanted, because it would take several lifetimes for them to bring about the right circumstances. But…all of us, ‘being already made in the image of God, can attain Him in one lifetime by making the proper spiritual effort under the guidance of a true guru.’”
Brother Anilananda stresses that there are three ways in which we can cooperate and tune in with the Guru, who is trying to help us reach omnipresent liberation. “The Guru is our guide to eternal freedom,” he states. “To attune with him, we should remember the importance of love; and the techniques of meditation he has given us, which will help us go inside to awaken that love; and finally we must learn to ‘give that love to all.’”
This year the 2020 #SRFConvocation will be free of charge and fully online in celebration of SRF’s Centennial.

We were so lucky to be at this convocation for Brothers beautiful lecture, so sweet to be able to watch again now. Looking forward to our virtual convocation this year with you all, Jai Guru! 💙

[@pigbertjclancy7223]

Im a little confused as Self Realization seems to try to be disconnected from any type of religion but yet refers to the Hindu godhead and pulls from many of the ancient texts. It seems one needs to accept Hinduism as truth to fully be at one with SRF teachings. Anyone? Great Talk

[@MsDevotee]

SRF has taught me to love and respect all true religions and their saints more than I ever could before. From the SRF website: One of the essential goals of Paramahansa Yogananda’s mission was “to reveal the complete harmony and basic oneness of original Christianity as taught by Jesus Christ and original Yoga as taught by Bhagavan Krishna; and to show that these principles of truth are the common scientific foundation of all true religions.”

[@vanialucia8932]

Guruji has given time of 12 years who follow sincerely kriya yoga techniques. The time and space is related with the bodies . By kriya yoga soul can slip back immediately to its original state.
