The Importance of Prayer | How-to-Live Talk With Meditation
Vložit
- čas přidán 9. 11. 2023
- In this talk with a period of meditation, Self-Realization Fellowship monk Brother Kamalananda shares guidance from Paramahansa Yogananda on the right attitude towards prayer - and the right methods to make our prayer and communion with the Divine truly effective and rewarding.
In the ultimate sense, we are souls - perfect and unique images of the Divine - and we don’t need to ask for anything. But until we realize our full divinity we should pray, Paramahansaji said, not as beggars or under some false impression of being “sinners,” but by making heartfelt demands of God as His own beloved sons and daughters.
This talk was recorded at the SRF temple in Fullerton, California, on November 20, 2022.
You can receive Paramahansa Yogananda’s personal and comprehensive instruction in the science of meditation and art of balanced living through his Self-Realization Fellowship Lessons, a home-study course available to all. To learn more and about how to enroll: srflessons.org

A wonderful supplement to my current studying of lesson 5 - Communing With God Through Prayer. I gained faith from his faith exercised and stories shared. Here to express my appreciation for the SRF community and this inspirational talk! My life has been improved since embracing the calmness via the technology of meditation. And here is another step up - learn to receive divine help daily via divine will. ❤

Brother Kamalananda, what a beautiful way to get what you want- just demand your share...as a child and school goer, I too carried a pic of Jesus in my pen box during exams esp Math, I would bow down at the grotto and go to the Chappel to steal those quiet moments.
Thank you for remembering Mary Stockton. I was one of her 23 fb friends. The last update she posted was in 2018. Such a divine soul. May she be always in our Gurus company
Jai Guru.
I somehow managed to pass my Math, but never a Mathematician
All so familiar....
I offer you INEFFABLE Love and Kindness, Blessings exponentialized

It pays to ask for Wisdom while praying in order to navigate life journey Effortlessly and Seamlessly. Lord alone knows what is beneficial for us in any given situation !
Full of gratitude to God and gurus for choosing you for us.
Your simple way of explanation along with deep meanings ....
Adorable just adorable..

It is always so inspiring to hear your words of wisdom dear Brother Kamlananda..I would like to say that after a deep.meditation when I am sitting in silence and communing with God, I forget to pray for whatever my need may be.. For my specific need I pray separately and approach the Divine like a son as a son approaches his Mother with love, devotion, and faith in Her wisdom and compassion. Divine Mother never failed me
The branching out of 'Patron Saints", which is mainly catholic, as far as I know, is a parallel for the reaching out to God to fullfill a specific function in life for example divine teacher, or doctor,or psychological therapist, aproaching God for consulting personal problems that affect your functioning.
Bro. Kamalananda🙏🕉️🙏

1. Pray as a child of God - demanding and claiming your divine birthright
2. Ask only for legitimate things
3. Use strong willpower and constructive actions

You deliver a beautiful and practical talk.
You mention a scientific study on prayer. Could tell us were we can found that information?
Jai Guru !
