Transform Your Life by Secret Whispers to God

Are you interested in a simple but profound way to experience the presence of God in everyday life? In this episode, SRF monk Brother Satyananda conveys wisdom from Paramahansa Yogananda on how we can take control of our own patterns of thoughts and feelings to fill our lives with sacred moments.

Often we are passive about our inner flow of thoughts, but consciously changing the nature of our thoughts can have a powerful effect. Our life is like a tapestry, and when we repeatedly weave in loving, devotional thoughts of God even challenging experiences can become rich and beautiful — as we feel the loving response of the Divine.

This talk, which includes a period of meditation, was recorded at the SRF Lake Shrine Temple in Pacific Palisades, California, in December 2024.
