More About Course

Paramahansa Yogananda Spiritual Relationships“Friendship is God’s love shining through the eyes of your loved ones, calling you home to drink His nectar of all selfishness—dissolving unity. Friendship is God’s trumpet call, bidding the soul to destroy the partitions that separate it from other souls and from Him. True friendship unites two souls so completely that they reflect the unity of Spirit.”                                                — Paramhansa Yogananda
Relationships play such a significant role in our lives. Wouldn’t it be nice to have a road-map to navigate our connections with greater harmony, understanding, and love? The wisdom of Paramhansa Yogananda picks our relationships up on the highest octave possible: expressing the Godly qualities of our soul nature. There is much to learn through our interactions with others. With the help of Yogananda, we learn to build a more intimate relationship primarily with God. From this inner perception of Spirit, we’re able to share with others the love and support we feel inside our hearts which makes our connections deeper and more unconditional. Through this course, we will explore various techniques to strengthen our relationship with the Divine and suggestions for infusing our day-to-day interactions with freedom and joy.
In this self-paced course you will have 90 days to complete six lessons. We encourage you to complete one lesson per week and to dedicate some time every day to your study so that you may get the most from the material.
