“The Art of Spiritual Listening” | An Inspirational Talk by Swami Chidanandaji, YSS/SRF President

#Yogananda, #YogodaSatsangaSociety, #ParamahansaYogananda, #YogaMeditation, #KriyaYoga, #meditation, #yoga, #SelfRealizationFellowship, #inspiration Swami Chidananda Giri, president and spiritual head of Yogoda Satsanga Society of India/Self-Realization Fellowship, encourages devotees to delve deeper into the meaning of shravana, the transformative art of listening to the teachings of the Guru. Swami Chidanandaji says that when “heard” with receptivity and attunement, Paramahansa Yogananda’s teachings become wisdom embers that remain active in the disciple's consciousness, springing to life whenever guidance, strength, or clarity is needed in daily life. The Guru’s words challenge disciples to rise above mortal consciousness, actively cultivate the supreme desire for God, and meet the divine halfway. This spiritual discourse was given at the dedication of the newly renovated auditorium of Yogoda Satsanga Sakha Math in Ranchi, officially named “Shravanalaya” (a place of listening) in February 2025. ⁕⁕⁕ You may also like to explore: • “Overcoming 'Soul Fog' Through Kriya Yoga,” by Swami Chidananda Giri (https://yssofindia.org/blog/overcoming-soul-fog-through-kriya-yoga-by-swami-chidananda-giri-video) • “The Inner Approach to Balance: Being Anchored in the Spiritual Eye,” by Swami Chidananda Giri (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pC6xV6QIKVk) • “The Secret to Balance: Mastery of Life Energy,” by Swami Chidananda Giri (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EEo4h8UfTZM) • “Spiritual Photosynthesis — Converting God’s Grace Into Soul-Nourishment,” by Swami Chidananda Giri (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mWUEmPN6W24) • “Hearing the Voice of Conscience Within You,” by Swami Satyananda Giri (https://yssofindia.org/teachings-library/hearing-the-voice-of-conscience-within-you-by-swami-satyananda-giri) ⁕⁕⁕ To learn more about how to participate in YSS online group meditations and see the full calendar of events for the YSS Online Dhyana Kendra: https://yssi.org/OnlineMeditation-Calendar ⁕⁕⁕ If you would like to attend a group meditation or any other spiritual programmes at a YSS ashram, kendra, or mandali near you, please visit our website to learn more: https://yssi.org/Centres ⁕⁕⁕ 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 Yoganandaji’s Autobiography of a Yogi: http://yssi.org/AY It is available in different formats and multiple languages. ⁕⁕⁕ If you would like to support the spiritual and humanitarian work of YSS: https://donateyss.org Self-Realization Fellowship (SRF) devotees may visit https://donatesrf.org/OMC ⁕⁕⁕ To learn more about how to participate in YSS online group meditations and see the full calendar of events for the YSS Online Dhyana Kendra: http://yssi.org/ODK ⁕⁕⁕ For the latest content from YSS: https://yssofindia.org    https://yssi.org/Events https://yssi.org/YouTube https://yssi.org/Facebook https://yssi.org/Instagram https://yssi.org/X http://yssi.org/Books
