You are invited to join our Devotee2Devotee Facebook group’s 7-day event STARTING August 24th leading up to Janmashtami / Birth of Bhagavan Krishna commemoration on August 30th. Please Note: WE ARE USING PARAMAHANSA YOGANANDA’S SRF/YSS TEACHINGS ONLY
https://www.facebook.com/events/1273783756376106
PLEASE READ PURPOSE AND GUIDELINES ~~ Our teachings say that the commemoration dates of our Gurus “ARE PARTICULARLY AUSPICIOUS; THEN, SPECIAL BLESSINGS FLOW FROM THE GREAT ONES INTO RECEPTIVE HEARTS.” One way we can make our hearts more receptive to these special blessings is to start in advance bringing the Guru into our personal consciousness by reading about him from our SRF/YSS teachings. We may also want to share devotional thoughts, quotes, photos, SRF/YSS related chants and videos, etc. with each other. We may also share photos of our personal altars or video of chants we have made.
The Guru commemoration day events are separate and somewhat different from our book reading events. Instead of everyone reading the same material at the same time, as in our book events, we are suggesting that we each choose from all the SRF/YSS sources that talk about Bhagavan Krishna whatever appeals to us at any time during the event. Suggested sources include those listed below.
*NOTE~~This is a public event, meaning it is open to all members and friends of our Gurus and SRF/YSS outside the D2D group as well. So feel free to invite others. Just click on the link and click the ‘Invite’ button under the event page banner to invite friends or to share this event.
