Please join our Devotee2Devotee group in commemorating the 2021 Mahasamadhi of Paramahansa Yogananda. We are honoring our beloved Guru by posting our devotional thoughts, favorite photos, and inspirational quotes from the Self-Realization / Yogoda Satsanga Society of India publications and talks. Our 5 day event will take place from March 3rd – March 7th, 2021.
During this Guru commemoration event, we may each choose from all the SRF/YSS sources that talk about Paramahansa Yogananda whatever appeals to us at any time during the event.
SPIRITUAL PURPOSES OF THIS EVENT and TYPES OF POSTS TO SHARE
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.
Please join Devotee2Devotee for our 2021 group reading of God Talks with Arjuna – The Bhagavad Gita by Paramahansa Yogananda. Beginning on Thursday, March 1st and going through Friday, August 24th, our book event will take place over 177 days. Each day’s reading varies from 5 – 8 pages, so please read the schedule very carefully. We ask that you post short quotes – try to keep your quotes to one short paragraph or less! All sincere devotees of our Guru are welcome to join us. Please follow the reading schedule listed below.
Our group readings have been a blessing for many. Master is joyfully with us — guiding and blessing us! We ask that you please keep ALL posts positive and uplifting — and directly pertaining to the GTWA book material. Jai Krishna! Jai Guru!

We invite you to post short quotes (2-3 sentences) from the text as well as add photos of India and Master’s family, friends, and teachers. Please keep ALL posts positive and uplifting — and directly pertaining to the “Mejda” material.
Please identify the section/chapter, page number, and the date on your posts. Soon after our “Mejda” reading, we will begin our annual reading of The Autobiography of a Yogi, so our discussion of Paramahansa Yogananda’s life will continue into early 2021.
It is very important that we keep to the reading schedule that is posted at the end of this post — and that is listed in this event description. In order to keep organized and to maintain order, we ask that you please only post quotes related to that day’s reading. It’s also important for readers to view the daily quotes on the event wall before adding a new quote – this way, we can avoid duplicate quotes and photos.
Our group readings have been a blessing for many. Master is joyfully with us — guiding and blessing us! All sincere devotees of our Guru are welcome to join us.
We hope you enjoy our group reading event and pray that it inspires and blesses you! Jai Guru, dear friends!

Dear Friends, Please join our Devotee2Devotee Facebook group for our 10-day celebration event on Facebook starting September 21st leading up to the commemoration days of LAHIRI MAHASAYA — Mahasamadhi on September 26th and Birth Anniversary on September 30th.
Everyone may post quotes by or about LAHIRI MAHASAYA or just read others’ posts. 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 Lahiri Mahasaya 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 Autobiography of a Yogi, Man’s Eternal Quest, Divine Romance, Journey to Self-Realization, God Talks with Arjuna, Second Coming of Christ, Holy Science, Mejda, Sri Daya Mata’s books, any other SRF CD, Video, or written publication (including information from the SRF/YSS websites), and notes/transcripts from SRF/YSS Monastic lectures.
Devotees may also share photos of their altars (with or without a written devotional offering), 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. Jai Guru!
