Bryant Benjamin
Bryant shares a deeply moving personal journey, recounting the life experiences that led him to the spiritual path and to Paramahansa Yogananda. He was born and raised in the environment of New York’s urban culture, an upbringing that shaped some of the questions he would later explore on his spiritual path.
His father’s childhood in Harlem also had a profound influence on Bryant, helping cultivate his keen analytical mind and his strong interest in self-improvement. Through his reflections, Bryant explains that spiritual evolution is ultimately about opening the heart and learning the true meaning of love. As he deepens his devotion to God through practicing the SRF lesson techniques, he describes experiencing different levels of divine love, protection, and blessings.
The sincerity and depth of Bryant’s sharing allow listeners to feel the peace and joy that come from his spiritual life. In addition, he offers a thoughtful history of the SRF New York group and its development over time into an established meditation center and community.
