The Great Light of God

During these long Christmas meditations, Paramahansaji would enter the ecstatic state of samadhi, and all present would share in the inspiration that flowed through his words. The year this recording was made, he remained secluded in his private quarters. As he spoke at intervals throughout the day, his words were conveyed through a speaker system to the disciples medi­tating in the chapel. His voice reflects at times his interiorized consciousness, and at other times the power and intensity with which he urged the devotees to seek God ever more deeply.

“A thousand million suns do not describe the light of my Father.”

 In this talk Paramahansa Yogananda speaks of that immense light of God, and of the indescribable joy experienced by one who perceives that Unseen Reality.  He explains why the spiritual science of Kriya Yoga gives the greatest proof of God’s existence and how, through its practice, you realize that you are not a man or woman, but part of the eternal consciousness, the infinite blessedness of Spirit.

 The Great Light of God is the third in a special collector’s series of recorded talks by Paramahansa Yogananda. Self-Realization Fellowship is happy to present these rare recordings — a price­less part of the great Master’s spiritual legacy to the world.
