Magnetism

"Spiritual magnetism is a drawing, uplifting, expanding power. It is a quality of the Spirit. By soul magnetism, the spiritual magnetism in man, a person draws to himself friends and desired objects, and acquires profound knowledge. You should strive for this magnetic power, which has limitless range and depth. You can develop spiritual magnetism by deep meditation upon Om (Amen, the Word) and God. 

Through its divine power you can accomplish in your life the materialization of all your constructive ambitions. God's magnetic drawing power is in you. If you radiate love and good will to others, you will open the channel for God's love to come to you. Through meditation and service to mankind you will develop divine love, the magnet that draws to you all good."

Paramahansa Yogananda
I Was Shipwrecked on the Ocean of Life

My comfortable boat of earthly happiness foundered: I was shipwrecked on the ocean of life. I struggled amid the dreary waters of deceptive worldly dreams. 

Sent by the winds of Thy mercy, a little raft of spiritual hope floated near me. I grasped it--I held fast! Little by little I moved onward and reached a spacious island of infinite charm. 

Nymphs of Thy blessings silently gathered to take me to Thee. In Thy safe presence all hurt from my hardships vanished.

 DFW-SRF Open With Meditation Service
10:00-11:00 am

Dear Friends,

Currently we are open each Sunday with a 10:00-11:00 am Meditation Service, including the SRF Healing Service at the end.

Our calendar  will reflect changes as we phase in our services.

Livestreaming - Occasionally there is a Commemoration service or Special Address from our President, Brother Chidananda, that occurs on a Sunday morning. We have been livestreaming these events. These events will be announced in a letter from our Coordinator in advance. We invite everyone to join us for these special events in the environment of our chapel.
 
The 10:00-10:45am time for our service will be in effect for any service followed by a livestreamed event that starts at 11:00 am.

Following are the details of how we conduct services under the Covid conditions:

Consistent with other groups and temples, we will offer a separate area for socially distanced seating for those who need or prefer it. As with SRF Temples and groups, we will continue to follow CDC guidelines by making masks optional for those who have been vaccinated, and asking those who have not been vaccinated to wear a mask. We respectfully request your cooperation in adhering to these guidelines for the safety of others.

We will not pass donation baskets but will place the baskets outside of the Chapel area. For safety we ask for adherence to social distance in the lines to the restrooms.

We very much look forward to seeing all of you who are able to attend now or in the near future.

In Divine Friendship,

Dallas Fort Worth Managing Council of Self-Realization Fellowship

Dallas Ft. Worth Building Fund

We are pleased to report the Dallas Ft. Worth Building Fund total as of August 31st is $534,592.

Our previous fund raising campaign was successfully reached at the end of 2020 surpassing the goal amount of $450.000.

The building fund exists for the purpose of allowing our group to have a permanent Chapel when the time is right. We now have the task of selecting a new amount for a future goal. We realize that it will take more than our current building fund to obtain a new permanent Chapel. We would like to encourage those who can contribute, comfortably, to our building fund to do so. A donation of any amount will be gratefully accepted.

Our building fund is held in an account for us by Self-Realization Fellowship. 
Gifts to this fund are tax exempt. 

Thank you all for your continued generosity and sponsorship of the Dallas Fort Worth Group’s Chapel Project.
