The DVD service today is Part 1 of a talk by Brother Achalananda titled Developing an Unconquerable Will. Brother Achalananda shares wisdom from the teachings of Paramahansa Yogananda on the relationship between energy and will power, how to use will to overcome habits and achieve our goals, and what it means to cultivate divine will on the spiritual path.
