Sobre o podcast
Self-Realization Fellowship monks and nuns share Paramahansa Yogananda’s profound inspiration, and their own stories of applying his practical teachings on meditation and balanced living, to encourage you to have a truly victorious life — transcending limitations, fear, and suffering — by awakening to the infinite power and joy of your real Self: the soul.
The teachings of Paramahansa Yogananda (author of Autobiography of a Yogi) and his renowned line of gurus offer to people of all cultures, races, and creeds the means to free themselves from physical, mental, and spiritual inharmonies — a way of life of inner happiness and all-round success. To facilitate the spread of his “how-to-live” teachings worldwide — including the spiritual principles and meditation techniques of Kriya Yoga — Yogananda founded Self-Realization Fellowship (SRF) in 1920 and established the headquarters for his work in Los Angeles, California, shortly thereafter.
Join us for each new episode of "The Wisdom of Paramahansa Yogananda."
“Self-realization is the knowing — in body, mind, and soul — that we are one with the omnipresence of God; that we do not have to pray that it come to us, that we are not merely near it at all times, but that God's omnipresence is our omnipresence; that we are just as much a part of Him now as we ever will be. All we have to do is improve our knowing.” — Paramahansa Yogananda

SRF monk Brother Devananda draws on the wisdom of Paramahansa Yogananda to convey how inner growth is subtle and taking small steps on the spiritual path is gradually but surely leading us to the goal of God-realization.
Through encouraging stories Brother Devananda details signs of advancement: asking deeper questions about existence, seeking and following a true guru, becoming calmer in daily life, and developing resolute perseverance. Personal imperfections and life’s obstacles need not deter us, he explains; they offer us opportunities to cultivate inner strength, and most importantly love for God.
This talk was given at the SRF temple in Phoenix, Arizona, in August 2025.

SRF monk Brother Bhaktananda conveys wisdom from Paramahansa Yogananda on how we can bring greater harmony into our relationships.
By practicing kindness and self‑discipline — while holding on to a noncritical and calm state of mind — we reflect in our interactions with others the peace and love of the soul. By first focusing on our own attitudes and actions, we make great strides in helping to create lasting understanding in our friendships — and with all who cross our paths — even in trying times and situations.
Brother Bhaktananda (1914 – 2005), who entered the SRF ashram in 1939, served as the senior minister at the SRF temple in Hollywood, California, from 1971 until his passing in 2005.
In this talk, recorded at the 1991 SRF World Convocation in Los Angeles, Brother Bhaktananda refers to Paramahansa Yogananda, guru and founder of Self-Realization Fellowship/Yogoda Satsanga Society of India, simply as “Master,” being a reverential way to address one’s guru and signifying a soul who has achieved full self-mastery.

SRF monk Brother Bhumananda conveys wisdom from Paramahansa Yogananda on how attunement with a true guru helps one to be supremely victorious in all inner and outer pursuits.
A true guru has reached the ultimate goal of oneness with the Divine and has been given the sublime role of leading other souls on that same divine quest. Following the guru’s guidance enables seekers of higher consciousness to identify more and more with their soul-nature when striving to overcome life’s everyday challenges. And ultimately the guru’s unconditional help leads to seekers winning the inner spiritual battle of realizing their own oneness with God’s infinite peace and joy.
In this talk, recorded at the 2008 SRF World Convocation in Los Angeles, Brother Bhumananda refers to Paramahansa Yogananda, guru and founder of Self-Realization Fellowship/Yogoda Satsanga Society of India, simply as “Master,” being a reverential way to address one’s guru and signifying a soul who has achieved full self-mastery.

SRF monk Brother Anandamoy speaks on Paramahansa Yogananda’s mission to spread worldwide the teachings of Kriya Yoga — illuminating for this age the universal aspect of religion. He explains that practice of the meditation techniques taught by Yogananda, including Kriya Yoga, leads one “steadily and surely to the perception of divinity within.”
Brother Anandamoy (1922 – 2016) was an international lecturer and beloved minister of Self-Realization Fellowship for many years, and his talks continue to present for students of Paramahansaji’s teachings and spiritual seekers everywhere key insights into the spiritual path.
In this talk Brother Anandamoy refers to Paramahansa Yogananda, guru and founder of Self-Realization Fellowship/Yogoda Satsanga Society of India, simply as “Guruji” — “ji” being a suffix denoting respect.
This talk was given on March 22, 1995, during the dedication ceremony of the Paramahansa Yogananda Smriti Mandir (Memorial Shrine) at the Ranchi Ashram of Yogoda Satsanga Society of India (the name by which Paramahansa Yogananda’s work is known in India and several surrounding countries).

This deeply encouraging talk, recorded at the 2011 SRF World Convocation in Los Angeles, was the first time Mrinalini Mata addressed an international gathering of SRF/YSS members and friends after becoming president of SRF/YSS.
Topics include:
- A tribute to the lineage of divine souls responsible for the founding and growth of Self-Realization Fellowship
- The most common question of devotees: “Why am I not making more spiritual progress?”
- How to manifest a conquering spirit, no matter what one’s difficulties may be
- The spiritual efficacy of Kriya Yoga and how its devoted practice bestows assurance of spiritual progress
- Personal reminiscences of her years spent with Paramahansa Yogananda
- An inspiring account of the last days of Sri Daya Mata, late beloved president of SRF/YSS.
Mrinalini Mata was one of the close disciples of Paramahansa Yogananda personally chosen and trained by him to help guide his worldwide society after his passing. She dedicated more than seventy years to selflessly serving her Guru’s work, fulfilling the roles of editor-in-chief and vice president for many decades, and president of SRF/YSS from 2011 until her passing in 2017.

SRF monk Brother Ishtananda conveys wisdom from Paramahansa Yogananda on why we would want to make cultivating our intuition a priority and how greater intuition will allow us to make better choices — even when outer circumstances are difficult or chaotic.
Each of us has the potential to develop our intuition — the soul’s natural ability to directly perceive Truth — and use its power to improve our lives. And on the spiritual path, it is through intuition that we come to experience the peace and harmony, and ultimately the ever new joy, of Spirit within.
In this talk Brother Ishtananda refers to Yogananda, guru and founder of Self-Realization Fellowship/Yogoda Satsanga Society of India, simply as “Guruji” — “ji” being a suffix denoting respect, added to names and titles in India — or “Gurudeva,” a customary Sanskrit term for one’s spiritual preceptor; or “Master,” one who has achieved self-mastery.

Brother Chidananda, president and spiritual head of SRF/YSS, explains how we can learn the art of living in this world without losing our connection with and receptivity to the power and love of the Divine — giving us a foundation of evenmindedness, calmness, inner strength, and resilience to firmly plant our feet on as we face life’s challenges. When we can do this, he shares in this deeply encouraging talk, we are not only benefiting ourselves but truly serving the world.
Brother Chidananda discusses three, interwoven “how-to-live sciences” as being very useful on the spiritual path — each one an integral part of the meditation teachings of Paramahansa Yogananda. They are:
- “The yoga science of identity and identification,” to help us find the ultimate answer to that most essential question: “Who am I?”
- “The yoga science of vibration,” to help us attune our lives with positive and uplifting forces in our environment, and especially the great cosmic creative vibration of Aum.
- “The yoga psychology of Paramahansa Yogananda,” to allow the Guru’s comprehensive wisdom to transform our mental environment and outlook — freeing the mind from its enslavement to the body and the limitations imposed by outer influences, so that it can be a willing instrument of the divine and ever-perfect soul.
