Happy Birthday Guruji!

Paramahansa Yogananda Birthday Ceremony
January 5th
We will commemorate the birth of Paramahansa Yogananda with a special ceremony on Monday, January 5th at 7:30 pm. It is customary to bring a flower and a free will offering in an envelope to symbolize devotion and loyalty to the Guru and his teachings. Everyone is welcome.

"Sometimes you may have a dark period. You may find it difficult to meditate and you may not feel you are getting much out of it. No - it’s not true. Those dark periods are precious. They are very important - they are necessary - because they are teaching us unconditional love. God is meeting you through the light and through the darkness. Maybe you are striving for devotion, but don’t feel love for God. Just remember, wanting to love God is loving God."- Brother Anandamoy -- (Excerpts from a talk at 2003 Convocation)
