Guru and Disciple: An Eternal Covenant of Love | Brother Bhaktananda
Вставка
- Опубліковано 4 лип 2024
- Brother Bhaktananda (1914 - 2005), a longtime SRF monk and minister who became a disciple of Paramahansa Yogananda in 1939, explains how to develop and perfect the guru-disciple relationship: the Divine’s eternal plan to free each soul.
He discusses how a commitment to simplicity, obedience, and loyalty in our daily lives leads to real freedom and happiness. From his long experience practicing the SRF teachings he offers three essential keys to spiritual development: practicing the presence of God, meditation, and study of the Self-Realization Fellowship Lessons. He also discusses the importance of deep periods of stillness after practicing meditation techniques.
This talk was given at the 1994 SRF World Convocation.

How to be in tune with the Guru?
By studying the Lessons, following the teachings, because as we practice the teachings, we are in tune.
I had gone to the Lake Shrine for a long time and it was where I started on the Path, so it felt like my home. After several years I felt that I had to move. I was sad and feeling bereft but I knew "I was going to be moving" but I did not know where. I thought it meant my physical house where I lived by the beach. But no. It came to me I was to start going to Hollywood Temple. Now, I did not like Hollywood because of the noise and the traffic so I was a bit unhappy but I went. It was not long after that I realized what a blessing this was for me. I needed to be around Bro. Bhaktinanda and I got to counsel with him several times. I still remember many things he told me. I benefited greatly. Little did I know he was to pass soon but I got to be there for the last 2-3 years of his life. I loved Brother, so humble and yet, I felt like I could always perceive a little smile that always seemed to play at the corner of his mouth, like he was so joyfully happy and was trying to contain it. I am so grateful that I got this experience. Thank you SRF for bringing all these wonderful talks to us so that we can keep revisiting these talks by the direct disciples of Master and hearing directly from their lips of their experiences and stories. God bless us all. Jai Guru.
Thanks to SRF for this inspiring service by Brother Bhaktananda. SRF and YSS and worldwide meditation centers are help and blessing of God and Guru. Happy new year to all. God and Guru bless all. Jai Guru Jai Ma.
Thank you Guruji! "Om Guru!" !! "Om Divine Mother!" "Master I love you!" Thank you Brother for the gift of you life and the reminders !!

Anyone can be renunciant because renunciation is in the heart. The renunciant's vows are: Simplicity, Obedience, Chastity and Loyalty.

Can’t believe he has been gone 15 years already. What a beautiful soul. I loved his advice;” Instead of criticizing someone, send them love, peace and harmony”
This is all what is needed to be in tune with God and guru 🙏
He is so genuine. He practices every word he speaks. Nothing fancy, not trying to impress anyone. He says it as it is because he lives those values.
