“Deepening Our Practice of Meditation” | A Talk by YSS Sannyasi Swami Smaranananda Giri in English

How do we deepen our practice of meditation? In this inspiring talk Swami Smaranananda Giri, a senior sannyasi of Yogoda Satsanga Society of India, offers valuable guidance on how we can deepen our meditations. Drawing on the wisdom-teachings of Paramahansa Yogananda, he lays emphasis on regularity and stillness as the two key factors to achieving more depth in our meditations. Using anecdotes and illustrations, Swami Smaranananda brings forth the importance of perseverance in our daily sadhana (meditation practice) to attain the goal of self-realization. This talk was given by Swami Smaranananda at the 2010 SRF World Convocation. ⁕⁕⁕ This talk is also available as an mp3 download from our online bookstore: https://yssofindia.org/product/deepen...
