Austin commemoration service from 7:30-8:30 pm Friday march 7 🙏🏼
Paramahansa Yogananda entered mahasamadhi (a yogi’s final conscious exit from the body) on March 7, 1952, at the conclusion of a talk he gave during a banquet honoring India’s ambassador to the United States at the Biltmore Hotel in downtown Los Angeles.
“The ideal of love for God and service to humanity found full expression in the life of Paramahansa Yogananda. He came on earth for the purpose of spiritually uniting East and West, to awaken divine yearnings in all hearts. He was practical in his methods; his teachings and life bespoke the wisdom of a true man of God. He carried the maxim of ‘a sound mind in a sound body’ a step further; emphasizing, for the attainment of lasting happiness, the necessity for conscious soul communion with the Infinite Spirit.” — From “Paramahansa Yogananda: In Memoriam”
