Newsletter--October 2024

"My work is fulfilled when I have awakened in you even the tiniest spark of the love I feel for my Father. Blessed you are that you are hearing the message divine, the message of Spirit, the message that solves the mystery of the universe. What greater security could you seek, than the contact of the Infinite Being that is the essence of all that exists?"

Paramahansa Yogananda

DFW Group General Meeting Recap

On Sunday, September 1st, 2024, our group had a successful general meeting.

Each committee leader presented a report on the duties, work, and progress of their committees. This included the new Social Media Committee and a new Group picture archive. We asked for more participation in several areas and added several new volunteers.

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.

Saturday 3-Hour Meditation Service

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.
