Two Great Avatars of Self-Realization Fellowship

Swami Sri Yukteswar -- Paramahansa Yogananda

"The day was one of the most memorable in my life. It was a sunny Thursday, I remember, in July 1915, a few weeks after my graduation from college. On the inner balcony of his Serampore hermitage, Master dipped a new piece of white silk into a dye of ocher, the traditional color of the Swami Order. After the cloth had dried my guru draped it around me as a renunciants robe.


As I knelt before Sri Yukteswar, and for the first time heard him pronounce my new name, my heart overflowed with gratitude. How lovingly and tirelessly had he labored, that the boy Mukunda be someday transformed into the monk Yogananda!"

Service Times Dallas Fort Worth Meditation Group

 

Group meditation is a castle that protects the new spiritual aspirants as well as the veteran meditators. Meditating together increases the degree of Self-realization of each member of the group by the law of invisible vibratory exchange of group magnetism. 

~Paramahansa Yogananda

We have initiated a security measure of locking the front door at 10 minutes after the top of the hour. So each hour the front door will be unlocked for 10 minutes beginning at the top of the hour.

 

There will be a sign on the front door announcing this.

 

Please enter and exit, and use the rest rooms on the hour during chants so as not to disturb others.
