Self-Realization Fellowship monk Brother Prafullananda shares wisdom from Paramahansa Yogananda on how each seeker of truth can attune his or her human consciousness with the universal consciousness of the Divine — which is latent within ourselves and was manifest in Jesus and all liberated masters.
Paramahansa Yogananda said, “Christmas is a thought of spiritual grandeur, a realization that our minds are an altar of Christ, the universal intelligence in all creation.”
In this talk with a period of meditation, recorded on December 19, 2021, at the SRF Fullerton Temple in Fullerton, California, Brother Prafullananda explains how each of us can have this realization through the practice of the science of Kriya Yoga meditation.
Yogananda’s personal instruction in the comprehensive science of meditation and the art of balanced spiritual living can be found in his Self-Realization Fellowship Lessons, a home-study course. To learn more and enroll: https://srflessons.org
Other topics include:
What does it mean to be “made in the image of God”?
What really was the “star of the east” seen by the Three Wise Men at Jesus’ birth and how can we perceive that ourselves?
