Self‑Realization Fellowship sannyasi Swami Bhaktananda Giri conveys wisdom from Paramahansa Yogananda on how we can bring greater harmony into our relationships. By practising kindness and self‑discipline — while holding on to a non-critical and calm state of mind — we reflect in our interactions with others the peace and love of the soul. By first focusing on our own attitudes and actions, we make great strides in helping to create lasting understanding in our friendships — and with all who cross our paths — even in trying times and situations.
Swami Bhaktananda Giri (1914 – 2005), who entered the SRF ashram in 1939, served as the senior sannyasi at the SRF temple in Hollywood, California, from 1971 until his passing in 2005. This talk was recorded at the 1991 SRF World Convocation in Los Angeles.
