"If you think me near, I am near." - Yogananda

One of the most wonderful ways to feel the presence and love of our Guru is to read his writings. This winter and spring in Friday class we will be delving into a brand new release from SRF: Solving The Mystery Of Life, another volume of transcribed talks from Yogananda. Each Friday, we gather online to welcome each other. Swami (all the way from Italy!) sings for us, and we share some silent meditation. Then we read together, breaking for commentary from Isha Das and sharing our reflections on the reading. This class is a warm and wonderful way to draw closer to Yogananda and to each other.

  • "What is the use of life's difficult journey if we have to go to the grave with still unanswered questions? We must find out what life is all about." Yogananda
