Highest Expression of Friendship: The Sacred Bond Between Guru and Disciple | 2024 Convocation | Brother Bhumananda

Yogananda Monastics SRF YSS Convocation

Streamed live on Jul 19, 2024 #ParamahansaYogananda #Yogananda #SRFConvocation

On the spiritual path we often feel the need for a guide we can trust, who truly understands us and always acts for our highest good. Paramahansa Yogananda said: “The guru-disciple relationship is the highest expression of friendship, for it is based on unconditional divine love and wisdom. It is the loftiest and most sacred of all relationships.” In this talk, Self-Realization Fellowship monk Brother Bhumananda shares wisdom from Paramahansa Yogananda on how we can consciously experience the unconditional nature of this divine friendship — so that the guru’s guiding presence becomes an ever-increasing reality in our lives. Watch this video to learn how a true guru can help the spiritual seeker in ways that no one else can. This video is part of the 2024 SRF World Convocation, a free weeklong program of online classes on Paramahansa Yogananda’s “how-to-live” teachings and meditation techniques, guided group meditations and kirtans (devotional chanting), virtual pilgrimage tours to the ashrams where Yogananda lived and communed with the Divine, and more.
