11 Techniques To Deal With Challenges - Sri sri Paramahansa Yogananda


1) "Whenever anyone utters with reverence the name of BABAJI," Lahiri Mahasaya said, " that devotee attracts an instant spiritual blessing." - Autobiography of a Yogi, Paramahansa Yogananda.

2) "It is an old superstition of the ignorant to believe you cannot change your destiny....If you give up and think that there is no chance for you, you have pronounced your own fatal judgement...when you say there is no hope, you have failed. But when you think, "I am free, I am strong; even though bad karma strikes me, still I will not give up," then you will see your good karma coming forth." -- Paramahansa Yogananda, The Wisdom Way to Overcome Karma, Journey to Self-Realization

3) "The sunshine of divine prosperity has burst through the dark sky of my limitations. I am God's child. What He has, I have." Paramahansa Yogananda, Scientific Healing Affirmations

4) "I am submerged in...eternal light; it permeates every particle of my being. I am living in that light. Divine Spirit fills me within and without." Paramahansa Yogananda, Metaphysical Meditations

5) Imagine Guruji and other SRF Gurus at the Kutastha and after meditation imagine God and Guru's light changing wrong habits and burning bad karma in the brain. (Techniques in GTWA and DR)

6) "If the fires and mosquitoes of heat, cold, anxiety, care, fear, sickness, etc., single and singe you, seek the remedy with a quiet mind. Always keep the mind steady and indifferent." - Paramahansa Yogananda, in God Alone, The Life and Letters of a Saint

7) "Faith in divine protection, and right use of man's God-given will, are forces more formidable than are influences flowing from the heavens. The starry inscription at one's birth....is not that man is a puppet of his past. Its message is rather a prod to pride; the very heavens seek to arouse man's determination to be free from every limitation." - Paramahansa Yogananda, Autobiography of a Yogi

8) "Visualize a great fire of wisdom around which all the Masters are standing. Now feel that you have cast into that fire of wisdom all your past karma...There is Divine Mother standing right before the flaming light, and all the Masters are standing there. "O Kali, O Kali, oh, such bliss, oh such joy! Babaji, Lahiri Mahasaya, Swami Sri Yukteswarji, Guru-Preceptor, Mother Kali, Mother Kali, Divine Mother, before us is the fire of wisdom. And in that fire of wisdom we offer our past karma and the karma of all nations. Let that bad karma be consumed forever. Aum Swaha. Aum Swaha. Aum Swaha." - Paramahansa Yogananda, in Meditation & Vision, Self-Realization Magazine Winter 2002

9) "I am castled in God's presence. No harm can reach me, for in every situation of life -- physical, mental, financial, spiritual -- I am protected in the fortress of God's presence." -- Paramahansa Yogananda, Self-Realization Magazine, Spring 2006, Destroying the Consciousness of Fear

10) "Master had taught us, that if you want to commune with any another individual, concentrate on his spiritual eye...During...time of trial, whenever I meditated...I concentrated at my spiritual eye, and then visualized Guruji's face and concentrated on his Kutastha center. Again and again I hammered the ether with my prayerful thought, sending to Master my plea for spiritual help and assurance...After a few days of prayerful pleas to Master, he sent a cablegram back to America with these words: "Tell Faye everything will be all right." " - Sri Daya Mata, Self-Realization Magazine, Fall 2009

11) Harmony Prayer by Swami Bhaktanandaji. Especially useful to get over anger and resentment in dealing with others and approaching situations with God's intended attitude. Visualize all those in the group who hurt you, and mentally surround them in divine light. Then deeply pray, "Lord, fill them with peace and harmony, peace and harmony, peace and harmony", over and over, for a minute. Afterward, visualize yourself in divine light, and pray, "Lord, fill me with peace and harmony, peace and harmony," for about 15 seconds. Do this five times a day, and you will see a change come over those individuals.
