Building Our Relationships on a Spiritual Foundation

Self-Realization Fellowship sannyasini Bhakti Mai shares insights from the teachings of Paramahansa Yogananda about how to make our relationships more harmonious by first developing our relationship with the Divine. “The greatest of all happiness, next to divine happiness,” Paramahansaji said, “is to be at peace with one’s immediate relations, those with whom one must live every day in the year.” To build towards that goal, Bhakti Mai stresses that we can focus on five qualities: selflessness, respect, truthfulness, loyalty, and kindness. This talk was recorded at the 2015 SRF World Convocation in Los Angeles.
