The Hidden Love and Joy of God

SRF monk Brother Jayananda conveys wisdom from Paramahansa Yogananda on how we can practice the yoga science of meditation to discover God’s presence within — as the limitless Source of all-fulfilling love and joy.  

This talk, which was the opening class at the 2019 SRF World Convocation in Los Angeles, begins with special words of inspiration from Brother Chidananda, president and spiritual head of Self-Realization Fellowship/Yogoda Satsanga Society of India. He welcomes all those participating to the truly transformative experience of Convocation, and leads an invocation to officially open the annual weeklong program on Paramahansaji’s Kriya Yoga teachings.
