SATSANGA OF THE MONTH
(Apr 2026)

Swami Chidananda Giri, fifth president of Self-Realization Fellowship/Yogoda Satsanga Society of India, gave this talk in 2017 at YSS Dakshineswar Ashram (Kolkata), along the banks of the sacred Ganges River. This was Swamiji's first visit to India after becoming president of SRF/YSS.

In this inspired talk, Swamiji illuminates the concept of the Divine Mother as taught by Paramahansa Yogananda. Presenting stories from Yoganandaji’s “Autobiography of a Yogi,” sharing his own experiences and impressions, and using guided meditation and visualization to help the audience make these truths real for themselves, Swami Chidanandaji illustrates how every devotee can create a personal and profound relationship with the Divine Mother.
