Meditation isn’t just something we do when life is quiet and peaceful. It is a way of turning inward and discovering a deeper source of peace that we can carry with us.

As our desire to know our true Self grows, meditation becomes less about finding the perfect place or waiting for the right moment, and more about nurturing that inner connection throughout our daily lives.

Wherever you are, a moment of inward connection is always possible.

During meditation, as we turn our attention inward, we begin to experience moments of peace, lightness and joy. Rather than searching for happiness outside ourselves, meditation gives us the opportunity to discover the quiet source of joy that already lives within.

Yogananda encouraged us to notice these little “bubbles of joy” and, through meditation, allow them to expand — from a fleeting feeling into a deeper experience of inner happiness and connection.

We offer our gratitude to Lahiri Mahasaya on his birthday and hope that his blessings shower the world.

Paramhansa Yogananda in his Autobiography of a Yogi writes "Unknown to society in general, a great spiritual renaissance began to flow from a remote corner of Benares. Just as the fragrance of flowers cannot be suppressed, so Lahiri Mahasaya, quietly living as an ideal householder, could not hide his innate glory"
