Great Saints: God’s Messengers of Truth

On the spiritual path it is a great blessing to have the guidance of one who has travelled to its end and can help us based on personal experience of truth. In this talk with a period of meditation, Self-Realization Fellowship sannyasi Swami Nikhilananda Giri conveys wisdom from Paramahansa Yogananda on how a God-illumined guru can guide us toward divine realization through step-by-step methods for spiritual development, and the power of example and unconditional love. A true guru is a tireless divine friend and advocate, uplifting the disciple during times of fear and doubt. With faith, perseverance in practising meditation, and the support of the guru, we can realize our divine nature — and experience God’s infinite joy within. This talk was given at the SRF temple in Glendale, California, in July 2021.
