PLEASE JOIN our Devotee2Devotee FB group for our Mahavatar Babaji Remembrance Day/Smriti Divas Commemoration 7-day event starting July 24 and ending on July 30. Please Note: WE ARE USING PARAMAHANSA YOGANANDA’S SRF/YSS TEACHINGS ONLY!!

PLEASE READ PURPOSE AND GUIDELINES
Our Guru Paramahansa Yogananda has said that there is celebration in the astral on the special days of our Great Gurus, and that when we tune in to these vibrations we receive special blessings. One way we can tune in is to start in advance bringing the Guru into our consciousness by reading about him from our SRF/YSS teachings and sharing quotes and photos with each other.
The 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 Babaji whatever appeals to us at any time during the event. (It’s ok if quotes or photos are repeated during the event). Suggested sources include those listed below. Devotees may also share photos of their altars, or video of chants you have made if you wish. Also video from youtube may be shared if it is YSS/SRF related.
*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 the ‘Invite’ button under the page banner or type in friends’ names in the blank provided above. You can also ‘share’ this page by clicking under the ‘invite’ button. ♥
