Self-Realization Fellowship monk Brother Kartikananda conveys wisdom from Paramahansa Yogananda on how the practice of affirmation can help us overcome limiting thought patterns and awaken the soul’s innate strength.
By repeating spiritual truths with concentration and conviction, we can begin to manifest those truths in our lives — allowing God’s love and wisdom to be more fully expressed through us.
This talk with a period of meditation was given at the SRF temple in Glendale, California, in February 2026.
