Please join our Devotee2Devotee group in commemorating the 2024 Mahasamadhis of Paramahansa Yogananda and Swami Sri Yukteswar. We are honoring our beloved Gurus by posting our devotional thoughts, favorite photos, and inspirational quotes from the Self-Realization / Yogoda Satsanga Society of India publications and talks. Our 7-day event will take place from March 4th – March 10th, 2024.

Please Note: ♥ WE ARE USING PARAMAHANSA YOGANANDA’S SRF/YSS TEACHINGS ONLY ♥
During this Guru commemoration event, we may each choose from all the SRF/YSS sources that talk about Paramahansa Yogananda and Swami Sri Yukteswar – whatever appeals to us at any time during the event.
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 is to READ about the Guru from our SRF/YSS teachings during the days leading up to these special dates. On this event page we may want to share quotes, photos, SRF/YSS related chants and videos, etc. We may also share photos of our personal altars or video of chants we have made.
Jai Guru!
