🌹Honoring the Birth of Swami Sri Yukteswar

Sunday, May 10 | 7:00p - 7:45p Meditation | 8:00p - 9:00p Commemorative Service

Swami Sri Yukteswar was born on May 10,1855, at Serampore in Bengal, India. Sri Yukteswar attained the spiritual stature of a Jnanavatar, or incarnation of wisdom.

Sri Yukteswar recognized that a synthesis of the spiritual heritage of the East with the science and technology of the West would do much to alleviate the material, psychological, and spiritual suffering of the modern world.

It was to Swami Sri Yukteswar that Paramahansa Yogananda came as a youth for training and discipline and to eventually begin his worldwide mission in the West. Sri Yukteswar is the Paramguru for SRF/YSS members.

A flower and monetary donation are traditional offerings.

" O Sheperd of Souls, wandering hearts are of themselves seeking the one fold of divine devotion. We have heard the ever-calling music of Thy infinite kindness. Our one desire is to be at home with Thee, to receive the Cosmic Father with Joyous, open eyes of wisdom, and to know that we are all sons of our own One God."

-Paramahansa Yogananda

"The ideal of every human life should be to be good, to be happy, and to find God. You will never be happy unless you do find God. That is why Jesus said, "Seek ye first the kingdom of God." That is the purpose of our existence: that we strive to become good, to become perfect, and to use our free will to choose good instead of evil. God has given to us all the power we need to do so."

On this day in 1893, Paramahansa Yogananda was born in North Eastern India. The beloved world teacher founded Self Realization Fellowship in 1920 to establish a golden middle path of activity and spirituality between the East and West.

Today this unique and far reaching legacy lives on, inspiring millions of truth seekers all over the world.

"If I don't see you, remember I am working for you in some other place, my seeing you all the time will not necessarily help you, you will receive more by meditating deeply and regularly. I am not here to help you only in this life, but in the beyond also."

-Paramahansa Yogananda

“Heavenly Father, as we enter the New Year, may we behold through its open portals Thy glory, Thine ideals. May we feel with us always Thy power, Thy vitality, and Thy guidance to follow of our own accord, by continuous right activity, the direct path that leads to Thee.”
