🪷 Jesus and Yoga • What is LA's Self-Realization Fellowship? (Featuring WARD RADIO)
Let's try something a little different.
In the past, I've received requests to visit other worship centers of different faiths and religions. For visit number 8, we team-up with @WARDRADIO's Cardon Ellis and Luke Hanson with a visit to the Self-Realization Fellowship Lake Shrine just blocks from the Pacific Ocean in the L.A. suburbs.
We called ahead to book an appointment, expecting to attend some sort of meditation stretching service mixing Jesus Christ with yoga.
Welp, that didn't actually happen.
Instead, we walked through a natural amphitheater containing waterfalls, fountains, flower beds, statues, and white swans gliding across the lake.
There also were a strange range of landmarks.

✨ Crystal Cathedral is CATHOLIC Now?!

The Crystal Cathedral was made famous by Rev. Robert Schuller and home to the Hour of Power - TV's most watched religious show during the 1980s. With Schuller's megawatt smile and positive-thinking preaching, the ministry played a key role in American Evangelical Christianity, culture, and even touched on world politics. But fast-forward to 2024, and the Crystal Cathedral has been uprooted fro...
🍃 52 Days into Latter-day Saint Conversion
Просмотров 31 тыс.14 дней назад
As things begin to turn green for the start of summer, this past week, I surpassed 52 days as a newly planted member in the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. Since sprouting in this new LDS world, where I'm adjusting to information and ideas, I'm doing my best to learn. Along the way, I've had several questions asking how things have been going. This video, I touch on a handful of in...
😶🌫️ Cloudy with a Chance of Pancakes • IHOP-KC's 24/7 Prayer Worship
Просмотров 6 тыс.21 день назад
The International House of Prayer in Kansas City (IHOP-KC) was founded... not on IHOP pancakes... but on the idea of 24/7 prayer and worship. The prayer room has NEVER STOPPED since starting in 1999. Typically, I get excited to learn and understand what an individual church does to bring others closer to Christ. But to be forthcoming, this was one of the most DOWNCAST visits I've ever made.

👉 Latter-Day LEGACY of Church of Christ (Temple Lot)
Просмотров 12 тыс.Месяц назад
If you ever wanted to see the church version of David vs. Goliath, look no further than the Church of Christ (Temple Lot) in Independence, Missouri. The Church of Christ, often nicknamed the Hedrickites or the "Temple Lot Church," owns one of the most sacred pieces of land in Latter-day Saint history. In 1831, the site was designated by Joseph Smith for the temple of the New Jerusalem, built in...

Strange sequence of events for this week's video. Two weeks ago, I was invited to speak at a Book of Mormon Rally near Independence, Missouri. The area is surrounded by Restoration churches because of a vacant plot of land.

There's a plot of land that was designated as a gathering p...
🌊 I Got BAPTIZED • My Bizarre LDS Conversion Story
Просмотров 196 тыс.2 месяца назад
This past Saturday began a new chapter of this spiritual journey. I was baptized into the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. Conversion was NOT something that was on my Bingo card when I started the second round of 52in52 two years ago. I was content as a Protestant. That's what I knew, that's what I was familiar with. Still, I wasn't a fan of ANY form of church membership. Been there...

Easter can mean a number of different things. Renewal. Restoration. Resurrection. The list goes on. Saturday night, I was searching for a church to attend for Easter Sunday. I've only attended Protestant/Evangelical services in the past, but became curious to know what a Catholic Easter mass was like. While looking online, I recalled Bishop Robert Barron serves as bishop of the Diocese of Winon...

The opening weekend for the Manti Temple open house was INSANE. People. Showed. Up in droves. Compared to the Protestant crowds at the Asbury Revival and Catholic crowds for see the exhumed body of Sister Wilhemina, the Latter-day Saint crowd for this may have exceeded both of those events. The Manti Temple broke ground in 1877 and took 11 years to complete . It features some MIND-BOGGLING arch...
🕰️ Step Back in TIME of Classic Latter-day Ward

The Forest Dale Chapel in Salt Lake City felt like a step back in time of Latter-day Saint history. The chapel was built across the street from Brigham Young's farmhouse in the 19th century. Eventually, the land was bought and a ward was founded. In 1901, plans for the initial building went haywire when the original architect was arrested for the death of his debtor, creating a murder mystery t...

🏈 Visit to Megachurch That KICKED the Bible (?!?)
Просмотров 7 тыс.4 месяца назад
Last week, a video surfaced that KICKED into high gear within Christian circles. It featured an Ohio megachurch who kicked off Super Bowl weekend - LITERALLY - when a pastor kicked a Bible (dressed in a football book-cover) as part of a sermon skit. The Bible shanked to the left and went into the crowd. It also featured a halftime-like performance with a referee swinging around like Miley Cyrus...

Many have found ways to disapprove the foot washing message from just about every angle due to the overtones that were included. Others point to Jesus washing the feet of Judas.

A word of caution on the Mutual app. There are a LOT of people on there that aren’t really practicing Latter Day Saints Religion. There are definitely some but I would say the majority aren’t living their religion.
Donation really means do-nations any other donation is not what the word means
Jesus and Yoga ?? ever heard of lust and how it curses
the question doesn't need to be "why doesn't the church do this?" Not everything needs to be done by the church. Individual members could do this. You could do this. Just sayin....
Saddened you did not join the church founded by Christ, 33 A.D., but instead on a man upon a bunch of rocks in upstate New York!
I visited the self-realization shrine before. Look, the gardens and all are peaceful and calm. However, it was an unpleasant vibe I felt at the windmill shrine, I will never forget..... Please, anyone, can any attest or validate this, but when I walked in there and sat down on the bench, I immediately felt an overwhelming negative sensory overload. it was the heavy-mounting pressure on my head. I remember the chapel was lightly lit and all of these frames of different religious frames in the front. I couldn't stay there for longer than a minute because of this mounting pressure on my head. Like all of these negative, dark vibes suffocating and running through my body and skin. When I left that sensation lingered for a few days. It was the complete opposite sensation I received at temples: peace,harmony, light, clarity. No disrespect to the shrine or the founders there, but did anyone else get that impression there? This sort of heaviness?
Very interesting David. A preparation for this visit would have been to read "The Autobiography of a Yogi." by Yogananda. Through meditation one comes into the realization that the "kingdom of God, the allness of God, is within us! It's not found in churches or temples, spirituality is found within.
Very fun!
The Denver Snuffer movement says the same thing: no required departure from your faith to enter ours. However, I cannot imagine that being the case in practice.
I don’t know why you would be angry that the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints doesn’t create places like this. How often had you heard to “Create your own Sacred Grove?” They create Temple grounds that incorporate the best of nature and water where all are welcome to enjoy.
Now Christ is Real Present in this Church in the Most Holy Eucharist... Thanks God...
This was so interesting! I loved it. I hope that we get to see more collaborations with Cardon and Luke. I hope that it's not too weird to say, but you have really pretty hands, David!
I dunno. that guys in the Vans shirt kept trying so hard to be funny but just was distracting and it took away from the video.
@@brooksdurham5285I thought that Cardon was pretty reserved 😂 I guess that we all have different likes and dislikes.
8:00 our church does do this Cardon. It’s called the Outer gardens of the temple.
Maybe we should start building these places beside a temple grounds.... one that allows non members to walk around and meditate, then for members to also do meditation before going into the temple. That would be neat.
Most temples already have gardens that you can walk around. The Meridian Idaho Temple has a beautiful pond and you can walk all the way around it. And it also overlooks a horse-training dressage course and then the river.
@@SuttonShimai but are there meditation gardens?
Sitting and pondering, reflecting, praying, etc. IS meditation.
@rutht2023 bbbb...bbbb... but but but...... OK you are so correct how may I ever get repentance for such heresy that I vomited
@@curtisdecker3175 🤣 lol. My comment wasn't meant to be mean. Just to point out that there is already a place to meditate.
Some more history for you: Elder McConkey published a book titled Mormon Doctrine that under Catholic Church stated "See Church of the Devil". The current Prophet was David O McKay. He summoned McConkey to his office, declared the statement to be false doctrine, and had elder McConkey recall the book! We all took notice and were reminded of the LDS Doctrine to contend against no church save the Church of the Devil. We have sense worked well with the Catholic Church. There are many good stories to tell of our mutual cooperation.
I was worried the Ward Radio guys were going to ruin this video. But it turns out I enjoyed everything Cardon had to say, he was really the star of this video.
Yeah, Cardon is usually a little 'Bro-tier', but he's a good guy and was reserved in this instance.
LDS Temple grounds have beautiful, peaceful surroundings, especially at the "front door", not the entrance.
SRF believes that Krishna gave knowledge to Jesus, and Jesus gave knowledge to Babaji (who they believe has lived for hundreds of years), and Babaji gave knowledge to Lahiri (I hope I got that right along with the spelling), who gave it to Yukteshwar (sorry, probably misspelled), and he taught Yogananda. That’s why they have those six portraits. It’s their line of gurus.
That would make sense, appreciate it.
Move out to Peoria, AZ!!!
You inspire me with every addition to your channel. I love hearing your conversion process and feeling your sincerity. You remind me of a man that Alma wished those of whom he taught would be-Alma 13:27-29. What a great example you are to me, who was born as a member of the Church of Jesus Christ. I have experienced conversion in many ways and will continue that progress AND I’m 69 years old! I love your testimony, your courage, your submissiveness, your faith in our Savior and your humility. When you are ready to search for your ancestors, I would love to help!
Thanks Brenda, much appreciated :)

I've always thought that the church should adopt meditation. Meditation has changed my life and helped me a lot during one of the most critical moments I've had in the past. Today, I see it as fundamental for spirituality. I always wonder why meditation isn't part of the Restoration doctrine, considering how incredibly powerful it is spiritually.
We do. It's called "pondering."
Search, ponder, and pray. 🙂
@@rutht2023 Certainly pondering and praying is important, but silence of the mind and stopping thinking to just feel. We don't have these meditation practices, just something in the sacrament, but we are still encouraged to think not to silence the mind.
If we would all take the time to listen when we pray, as opposed to just praying to say words - but actually pray to communicate, we'd be doing more and better than meditation.
Great Episode!
The temple grounds are open to everyone! I have gone to just to sit and reflect without going in before.
Not just a shrine to Gandhi, part of his ashes are enshrined there.
Hello Brothers. I have been there and I enjoy every time I visit this place. But when we are in communion with God every place is good to meditate.
I may push back on a lot of theology - but these episodes outside the studio are well-done. 👌
This is an absolutely beautiful place, I can see how it would make praying and pondering come naturally. It gives me pause to wonder if Christianity is interpreted in India by those who are Christians as Jesus Christ being on the same level as some of their Yogis?? And while this place in California is beautiful and I would love to see it in person, it feels like some things are misplaced. Is yoga being elevated over Jesus Christ? And while HF created nature, is the worship of nature being elevated above he who created it? 😊💗
Nice new format!!! Go Mr, 52!! I would so go there. Peaceful, reverent place to reflect on world peace and love.
I love the Lake Shrine. I first read The Autobiography of a Yogi over twenty years ago. I would have to say that it had as profound of an impact on me as the BoM. Since that reading, I have been studying Hinduism in its many forms, along with many other faiths. Adding meditation to my practice was a game changer; much more to the SRF than just mediation.
Changing the blessing on the food stat. 👀
I was baptized in Milwaukee Wisconson in 1977. I am now in Utah. It was the best decision I ever made to join rhe LDS church. The gospel is true! Congratulations on your baptism! You will find peace and joy along your covenant path;
What a beautiful place! ❤
It really is!
I was waiting to see y’all actually DO YOGA! Fun that you guys get to hang out and explore So Cal together and visit spiritual places. It is a little hard for me to see Jesus Christ mixed in with these other people that they worship. But of course Jesus Christ is who I worship and he is the center of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints! So no one actually led a meditation?! Yoga is one of the classes I teach among my other fitness classes and I do lead a meditation. Also I look at the celestial room in the temple AS a major place to meditate and ponder. Also going on “prayer walks” like David does are a time I meditate and ponder. I also do while I am driving too. It’s very important to ponder and meditate! I’ve received important knowledge from God in those times. Cool and interesting video. Will you do one about the LA temple? I’ve been to the temple on my way home from vacation but we have not done any temple work there yet. We need to.
I am a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints but I grew up south of the Crystal Cathedral and we used to come and watch the story of the Nativity there. It was awesome! Live camels and donkeys would walk across the stage.
Probably added to their bankruptcy!
Thank you, David.
I love meditation and I love a lot of eastern philosophy especially after serving my mission in Japan. Though I don’t care for Yoga much. I like Tai Chi better
Love the whole group analysis. Love David's western shirt
You guys should visit apologia church or paster Jeff’s church. 😂
12:05 what a wonderful video. Beautiful! You all are great too. I just wanted to mention Our Church does do this and offers it to the public daily. It's called the Temple Grounds. Just saying😁
YES!!
I was going to say the same.
Yah, but compared to that beautiful garden with the pond, some temple grounds could expand and upgrade. More grottos, more houseboats. 🙂
Reminds me of a saying, "All truth will be circumscribed into one whole." I am not quoting verbatim, but pulling from my memory.
Pretty cool! Maybe you guys can get Thomas Mckonkie onto your show. He left the church when he was younger, studied buddism for a long time and then eventually returned to the church. Its interesting how he incorporates meditation and eastern philosophy with the restored gospel.
DONATE, MY PEEPS :) I’m amazed at your ability to truly appreciate all that these different churches have to offer. So many people can’t look at the good in things that are different or a little weird compared to what they’re used to
You might want to check out the Rosicrucian Egyptian Museum in San Jose, California.
Yoga!!!!
Change-up for this one compared to other videos. Thanks to Cardon and Luke with WARD RADIO for joining me.
With the Gift of the Holy Ghost, you are now able to regularly extract True principles from any source (as is commended by the 13th Article of Faith). I believe that you, uniquely have this as a "Gift of the Spirit". Love you my brotha!
I just love this channel! Please keep going! Learning a lot. I love that people are worshiping! ❤️
Appreciate it, thanks Kristen!
I'm a Catholic joined the church during my thirties, those who prayed for a confirmation when converted into the church would had received a confirmation of truth from the Holy Ghost as James 1:5-6 counsels, for those who were born into the church I found that a lot of them had not received a testimony, just followed parents or other family members. I asked a friend born into the church how he knows the truthfulness of this church since he didn't get a testimony just follows his parents. I was satisfied with his replied and felt his spirit of truth, when he told me although he didn't go through a conversion period, his heart had told him throughout the years with the spirit of revelation through scripture studies had concreted his testimony. Hold dear to your testimonies because you know what you felt and received is real. To turn your back on what the Holy Ghost had revealed and planted in your heart would be condemnation of your spirit, by your own flesh.

I prefer the First Baptist Chapel at Cumberland Island. No wonder people like John Kennedy ( a Roman Catholic ) a no-nonsense person and born with almost royalty status chose the simple chapel.
