Making God the Companion of Our Lives | Discourse by a YSS Sannyasi Swami Pavitrananda Giri

Yogananda Monastics SRF YSS Convocation

Mar 30, 2024 #Yogananda #KriyaYoga #spirituality

In this talk titled “Making God the Companion of Our Lives,” based on Paramahansa Yoganandaji’s How-to-Live teachings, YSS sannyasi Swami Pavitrananda Giri encourages us to develop such love for God that in our every thought He becomes our constant companion. Swami Pavitrananda provides practical guidance and suggestions on how we can cultivate the habit of looking upon God as a friend both in our meditations and in all of our mundane activities — such as our work and personal chores, our daily commute, taking meals, and so on. He also mentions one of the ways to bring God into our thoughts and into our lives, as shared by Yoganandaji: “When you mentally utter the word ‘God,’ and keep on repeating that thought within, it sets up a vibration that invokes the presence of God.” By cultivating the friendship of God, we receive an incomparable joy that can transform our lives, helping us navigate its varied challenges to become happy and successful. This satsanga was first live-streamed in April 2023. ⁕⁕⁕ Learn more about the Yogoda Satsanga Lessons, Paramahansa Yoganandaji’s home-study course on the science of meditation and art of balanced spiritual living: http://yssi.org/lessons ⁕⁕⁕ To read Paramahansa Yogananda’s God Talks With Arjuna: http://yssi.org/GTWA To read Paramahansa Yogananda’s Autobiography of a Yogi: http://yssi.org/AoY Both these titles are available in different formats and multiple languages.
