Whatever Your Circumstances, Withdraw Into Your Center (With Swami Kriyananda)

Swami Kriyananda encourages us to be equitable and loving in all of our relationships both positive and challenging. He shares his personal experience of rising to meet this test and receiving a surprising blessing as a result. Kriyananda says that we live not for approval and acceptance from others - we live for God. Peace is a domain that we can have and access from within.
It is good to seek quiet places and surround ourselves with positive people whenever possible but in many circumstances, it is just not possible. It is however possible for us to find happiness no matter where we are. Kriyananda reminds us that, “Your body is your temple, your heart is your hermitage.”
Season 2. These talks are based on the book: “The Essence of the Bhagavad Gita by Paramhansa Yogananda as remembered by his disciple, Swami Kriyananda.”
Rarely in a lifetime does a new spiritual classic appear that has the power to change people’s lives and transform future generations. This is such a book. “The Essence of the Bhagavad Gita Explained by Paramhansa Yogananda” shares the profound insights of Yogananda, author of Autobiography of a Yogi, as remembered by one of his close and direct disciples, Swami Kriyananda.
This revelation of India’s best-loved scripture approaches it from an entirely fresh perspective, showing its deep allegorical meaning and also its down-to-earth practicality. The themes presented are universal, including how to achieve victory in life in union with the divine; how to prepare for life’s “final exam,” death, and what happens afterward; and how to triumph overall pain and suffering. This book is itself a triumph. Swami Kriyananda worked with Paramhansa Yogananda in 1950 while the Master completed his commentary.

"God is not found by weaklings". Yes, indeed! Like Yogananda always said, "Be tough. Be very tough. It is not enough to be only good. We should be strongly good."

Swamiji please share some light & wisdom on Maha Geeta / Ashtavakra Geeta in your next video. 🙏

Why do you think that you let him stay ? Then you are considering yourself as the doer !! Isn’t it ? Instead you should say that it was Gods will and it was Gods will that perhaps through his questioning nature God was trying to make you learn something. Stay blessed. Jai Guru 🙏🏻🙌🕉️

[@thebetbetunderground9548]

I don't think you're picking it up from the right thread. Truths need to be applied appropriately in context. "God is the doer", has to be understood in the right way, in the proper perspective. There is a relative and an absolute point of view. Yes, in the absolute sense, God is the doer and God alone is behind all appearances. Yet in the relative and practical sense, we exist as individuals with our own soul, will, consciousness and personality.
