Welcome to the April 2021 edition of the Yogoda Satsanga Society of India Newsletter. This month we share inspiring words of Paramahansa Yogananda on the value of practising the presence of God in our daily lives.

“The habit of being inwardly in the calm presence of God must be developed, so that day and night that consciousness will remain steadfast. It is worth the effort; for to live in the consciousness of God is to be done with enslavement to disease, suffering, and fear. Just be with God; that is the be-all and end-all of life. If one resolves never to go to sleep at night without meditating and feeling the Divine Presence, into one's life will come happiness beyond all expectation. Effort is necessary, but that effort will make one a king enthroned in the kingdom of peace and joy. Time spent in the pursuit of extraneous material things is a waste of man's precious opportunities to know God. I am telling you this from my heart: Blessed is he who makes up his mind never to rest until he has found God.”

We invite you to watch a short video of Sri Sri Mrinalini Mata, fourth president of YSS/SRF, discussing how you can practise the presence of God by choosing a spiritual quality and striving to stay focused on it as you face the various challenges of daily life.
