Do We Live One or Many Lives? | How-to-Live Talk With Meditation

Published 2024-05-17
Self-Realization Fellowship monk Brother Padmananda shares wisdom from Paramahansa Yogananda on the law of reincarnation — and how this process of our soul’s evolution through many forms is meant to lead us ultimately to realize our oneness with Spirit in bliss.

We come to this physical plane many times in different bodies until we realize that true happiness is not found by fulfilling physical desires but by attuning with the higher consciousness of the Divine, and expressing that in thought and action. By the practice of yoga meditation we can shift our attention from our mortal form and ego-nature to our true nature as an immortal soul — a completely unique reflection of omnipresent Spirit.

This talk was recorded at the SRF San Diego Temple in March 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 for a nominal fee. To learn more and about how to enroll: srflessons.org/

    Awesome talk on reincarnation, Samsakars and past incarnations teaching us that desires lead to reincarnation. Yoga meditation and Divine love are the two key words to take away home. The creator loved us when we were created as souls gives lot of strength to know. The example of ten year old boy in the summer camp and that of a glass convey such a deep meaning. This talk is worth listening to again and again. An unforgettable talk!!

    Absolutely wonderful! He really "hit" me with this talk, and I sent it to my friends who are "tire-kicking" with meditation and SRF. Brother Padmananda is new to me, and I hope to see his talks many more times.

  • @charuanand1321
    Some of the important points are clarified how pure love can remove samskaras, importance of detachment as we go through many incarnations and that we are created by God in His 100% loving attention .Title of talk is very compelling 👌 Jai Guru jai Maa❤

    Thank you Brother Padmananda for this wonderful meditation 🙏♥️
  • Thank you, Br. Padmananda, for these clarifying explanations. I'm taking note - Kriya and Love frees us, roast those samskaras! Also, "Remember that you're special, like everyone else."😂
  • Thanks. The souls is eternal, never die, life after life. So there is many encarnations with he same soul, no just one as you explained. Mind can be differents but soul is the same. Jai Guru
