Concentration: Key to Communion With God

Self‑Realization Fellowship sannyasi Swami Vidyananda Giri conveys wisdom from Paramahansa Yogananda on how to understand concentration in relation to meditation, the science of contacting and communing with the Divine. The power of concentration allows us to withdraw our attention from outer distractions; and meditation is when we place our freed attention on God alone. And by combining a concentrated practice of the Kriya Yoga science of meditation with the essential addition of heartfelt devotion, we can gradually increase our ability to experience the peace and joy of God. This talk with a period of meditation was given at the SRF temple in Fullerton, California, in April 2025.
