In this talk, Swami Kriyananda reads from Conversations with Yogananda.  Kriyananda wants to help us to remember that our true nature is essentially divine. He emphasizes the importance of following higher guidance and accepting both the positive and negative experiences that come our way with equanimity. Kriyananda shares a number of personal stories and experiences that he had with his guru Paramahansa Yogananda where he learned the importance of heeding guidance in matters both large and small. Kriyananda encourages everyone, including those that do not have a guru, to pay attention to the personal patterns and tendencies that tend to be ignored as they may hold critical lessons for spiritual development and personal growth for us.

Krishna to Arjuna: "Know This for Certain, My Devotee Is Never Lost" (With Swami Kriyananda)


In this uplifting talk, Swami Kriyananda urges us to listen carefully and attentively not only to God’s still voice but to feel his infinite presence as well in all we do. Essentially, we will be watching and listening for our own higher guidance as God is all there truly is.  Kriyananda shares a few personal stories and speaks about the interconnectivity of all beings and their distinct individuality as well. Kriyananda explains that God uses and needs many channels for his expressions and speaks differently through each one. He also humorously reminds us that the more we try and please God, the more he will test us. These tests can actually be a good sign because as Kriyananda says, “it's a sign that you love him when he does take the trouble to help you clear up all your karma quickly.”

When Ecstasy Comes, All Desires Go (With Swami Kriyananda)


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.
