Yogoda Satsanga Society of India sannyasi Swami Ishwarananda Giri shares insights from the wisdom teachings of Paramahansa Yogananda in this talk in Hindi titled “How to Cultivate Love for God.” He explains that beginning with one’s self-centred needs, human love gradually expands to one’s parents and family, broadening to the nation and humanity, and ultimately encompassing all living beings as expressions of God. The various forms of human affection are manifestations of the one divine light filtered through different coloured lenses, and God, who possesses everything in creation, chooses to be “bound” only by the magnetic pull of a devotee’s pure, selfless love.
This talk was recorded at YSS Ranchi ashram during a Sadhana Sangam conducted in December 2025.
