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.

https://www.facebook.com/events/621229582099237/

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!
