Perfecting Human Relationships | “How-to-Live” Inspirational Talk

Self Realization Fellowship monk Brother Bhaktananda conveys wisdom from Paramahansa Yogananda on how we can bring greater harmony into our relationships. By practicing kindness and self discipline — while holding on to a noncritical 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. Brother Bhaktananda (1914 – 2005), who entered the SRF ashram in 1939, served as the senior minister at the SRF temple in Hollywood, California, from 1971 until his passing in 2005. In this talk, recorded at the 1991 SRF World Convocation in Los Angeles, Brother Bhaktananda refers to Paramahansa Yogananda, guru and founder of Self-Realization Fellowship/Yogoda Satsanga Society of India, simply as “Master,” being a reverential way to address one’s guru and signifying a soul who has achieved full self-mastery.
