SRF nun Sister Ranjana conveys wisdom from Paramahansa Yogananda on the mysteries of life, death, and the soul that brings understanding to the age-old question, “Does death truly bring an end to our cherished relationships?”

Although we may be used to thinking of ourselves as merely the body, as the soul — our true nature — we are in reality an individualized reflection of immortal Spirit. By dissolving our identification with the perishable body through the spiritual methods described in this talk, we can rediscover that we and our loved ones are indeed eternal souls journeying toward oneness in God.

This talk was given at the SRF temple in San Diego, California, in June 2024.

SRF monk Brother Achalananda conveys wisdom from Paramahansa Yogananda on how we can find ultimate fulfillment when we learn to experience and express that true soul-nature in our relationships with others.

The nature of the soul is pure love, understanding, and compassion. As we persevere in the practices of the spiritual path discussed in this talk, we allow divine love to flow from within — increasingly filling our hearts and lives with the infinite bliss of Spirit.

In this talk Brother Achalananda refers to Yogananda, guru and founder of Self-Realization Fellowship/Yogoda Satsanga Society of India, simply as “Master,” being a reverential way to address one’s guru and signifying a soul who has achieved full self-mastery.

This talk was recorded at the 2004 SRF World Convocation in Los Angeles.
