 Newsletter--January 2025


"You must never lose courage, Divine Mother sent me to pilot you out of the clouds of your mind. Everybody's difficulty is different, and he or she has to win that test of karma and Divine Mother.


Overcome all by constant inward calling on God and utmost devotion in words, thought, action, and obedience to Guru. God does not talk readily to the devotee, but a Guru does, and the easiest way out of all difficulties is to listen to him and obey him. Your troubles I do not mind. I will never give up my job about you. It is better to conquer evil and not go on living with it forever. Never for a moment identify yourself with momentary flashes of error. Have no fear, even when I am gone and no longer visible to your eyes. You will never be alone. I may not scold you then, but it shall ever be with you, and through Divine Mother guard you from all harm, and will constantly whisper to you guidance through your loving self."

Paramahansa Yogananda Birthday Commemoration Service

Sunday, January 5th 11:00 am - 12:00 noon

(Replaces our Readings Service)


This event will be streaming live from Mother Center to our Chapel.


Commemoration services for the SRF gurus are deeply spiritual occasions. The chapel will be open one-half hour before the service begins. Please bring a flower offering as a symbol of devotion to God and Paramahansa Yogananda. Please do not smell the flower but save its fragrance as part of the gift meant for God. Please also bring a donation in a sealed envelope as a symbol of loyalty and faithfulness to the cause of SRF. Your donation will be used by SRF for sharing the sacred teachings of Self-Realization Fellowship with other truth seekers.


It is a long-standing tradition in SRF temples and ashrams that a cake will be prepared for Guruji and partaken of at the end of his Birthday Service. Our group will be participating in this tradition.

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

9 am to 12 pm Noon


This service will begin with a prayer, inspirational reading and a chant. Periods of meditation will be broken on the hour with chanting. We will be practicing the SRF Healing Technique at the end of the service.

 

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.
