Swami Sri Yukteswar Birthday Commemoration Ceremony
May 10, 2015, 7:00 pm
"Celebration of the birthday of a God-realized soul should not be belittled as a merely social ceremony. It is a deeply spiritual occasion on which the vibrations of blessing from a illumined master are stronger than on other days in the year, because in the astral world, also, a celebration is taking place. Devotees who attend these birthday ceremonies with the right attitude will reap spiritual benefits and will find their high resolutions strengthened. "
---Paramahansa Yogananda
"Human conduct is ever unreliable until man is anchored in the Divine,. Everything in future will improve if you are making a spiritual effort now."
---Swami Sri Yukteswar
This statement by Yogananda's Guru was said by Yogananda, after a moment's thought, to be the most important statement made in the Autobiography of a Yogi.
How fortunate we are to have a paramguru such as Sri Yukteswar to receive blessings from. Our Guru said of Sri Yukteswar that he is India's Jnanavatar, "Incarnation of Wisdom."
"On this day we will observe the true spirit of the occasion by offering one's heartfelt love and devotion to God and Sri Yukteswar. In this way we will be receptive to the special blessings that flow from God and Sri Yukteswar on his birthday." ['Sri Yukteswar' inserted for 'the Guru being honored']
