The famous essay, “How God Came Into My Life,” is one of Swami Sivananda’s many gifts to all spiritual aspirants. In this work, Swami Sivananda explores the various ways that he came to know God, or “the Self” or “oneness in all.” Swami Sivananda identifies multiple instances throughout his life where he was “tested” to see God in everyone. He explains how they came to him in different and unexpected forms, and how each of them taught him a special lesson.
In this program you’ll explore how understanding the oneness of all leads to inner peace and compassion for all humanity. Swami Sivananda describes his knowledge of God as not just coming at once, but over a period of time. As Swami Sivananda passed these milestones, he saw God in everyone. You’ll study these principles to understand acceptance of others.
Offered as 4 satsangs (subject to change).
