Swami Chidananda Giri President YSS/SRF & Superstar Rajinikanth speak on Kriya Yoga with Vivek Atray

This is a rare and deep conversation on spiritual living and the goal of life. Swami Chidananda Giri President YSS/SRF & Superstar Sri Rajinikanth divulge how the practice Kriya Yoga has helped them immensely in their lives and in their work. Sri Rajinikanth elaborates upon his initial days as a practitioner of Kriya Yoga when he felt as if he was not progressing enough, simply because he was expecting phenomenal experiences instead of the true benefit of Kriya Yoga, which helps us to win the inner battle and progress towards the supreme goal of life, which is Self Realisation. Gradually, says Sri Rajinikanth, his whole life has been transformed by following the Kriya Yoga teachings of Sri Sri Paramahansa Yogananda, author of Autobiography of a Yogi, the world renowned spiritual classic. Swami Chidananda Giri explains how he began his spiritual quest as a young devotee and later as a young monastic. Over the years, he has found his whole existence to have been elevated to another level through the regular practice of the Kriya Yoga techinques. He speaks about the joy he feels even while executing the responsibilities of his role as the global President of Self Realization Fellowship, SRF, and Yogoda Satsanga Society of India, YSS. which were founded over a hundred years ago by Sri Sri Pramahansa Yogananda. Swami ji also mentions the 'How to Live' Yogoda Lessons which not only teach meditation techniques, but also provide valuable guidance on almost every aspect of human lives. This inspiring and enlightening conversation not only makes viewers aware of the way forward in their lives, but also contains personal anecdotes from the lives of these two highly inspirational personalities. Sri Rajnikanth started his spiritual journey after reading the spiritual classic, Autobiography of a Yogi, 22 years ago. He then took the home-study course from Yogoda Satsanga Ashram and ever since has been a regular practitioner of it. He regularly visits YSS ashrams across India.
