Dive into a heartfelt conversation with Naren Schreiner, a devoted disciple of Paramahansa Yogananda and masterful chanter of bhajans, as he shares his spiritual awakening—from high school choir to the transformative power of Indian devotional music. Discover why God seeks our freely given love, the intimacy of the Divine Mother as unconditional embrace, and practical wisdom for loving your meditation practice amid life's ebbs and flows.
In this episode at Yogaville, Naren opens up about:

• His first encounter with Amma's chanting circle and the shift from performance to pure devotion.
• The guru-disciple bond in Autobiography of a Yogi and Yogananda's unique emphasis on Divine Mother.
• Antidotes to ego and "competitive humility" in spiritual communities: "You won't feel left out if you're right within."
• Chanting as a gateway to child's-heart surrender and unconditioned love.
• Balancing discipline and yielding love in self-parenting, teaching, and daily sadhana.

Closing with a beautiful Shiva chant during the holy month of Shravan—pure bliss!
