Lahiri Mahashaya
In his Autobiography of a Yogi, Paramahansa Yogananda proclaims the greatness of Lahiri Mahasaya.
"By the standards of both qualitative and quantitative good, the great master elevated the spiritual level of society. In his power to raise his close disciples to Christlike stature and in his wide dissemination of truth among the masses, Lahiri Mahasaya ranks among the saviors of mankind." Excerpt from the chapter The Christlike Life of Lahiri Mahasaya |

Whispers From Eternity
May My Gratitude Be Changeless
When the summer of good fortune warms my tree of life, it easily burgeons with fragrant blossoms of thankfulness.
During winter months of misfortune, O Lord, may my denuded branches changelessly waft toward Thee a secret scent of gratitude.
Whispers From Eternity by Paramahansa Yogananda Self Realization Fellowship, Publishers |

DFW-SRF Now Open With Meditation Service 10:00-11:00 am
Dear Friends,
Currently we are open each Sunday with a 10:00-11:00 am Meditation Service, including the SRF Healing Service at the end.
The 10:00-10:45am time for our service will be in effect for any service followed by a livestreamed event that starts at 11:00 am.
Following are the details of how we conduct services under the Covid conditions:
Consistent with other groups and temples, we will offer a separate area for socially distanced seating for those who need or prefer it. As with SRF Temples and groups, we will continue to follow CDC guidelines by making masks optional for those who have been vaccinated, and asking those who have not been vaccinated to wear a mask. We respectfully request your cooperation in adhering to these guidelines for the safety of others.
We will not pass donation baskets but will place the baskets outside of the Chapel area. For safety we ask for adherence to social distance in the lines to the restrooms.
We very much look forward to seeing all of you who are able to attend now or in the near future.
In Divine Friendship,
Dallas Fort Worth Managing Council of Self-Realization Fellowship

DFW Chapel Fund
We are pleased to report the new DFW Chapel Fund total as of June 16th is $522,578.
We have a new name for our building fund. It will be DFW Chapel Fund. Our previous fund raising campaign was successfully reached in 2020 surpassing the goal amount of $450.000.
The building fund exists for the purpose of allowing our group to have a permanent Chapel when the time is right. We now have the task of selecting a new amount for a future goal. We realize that it will take more than our current building fund to obtain a new permanent Chapel. We would like to encourage those who can contribute, comfortably, to our building fund to do so. A donation of any amount will be gratefully accepted.
Our building fund is held in an account for us by Self-Realization Fellowship. Gifts to this fund are tax exempt.
Thank you all for your continued generosity and sponsorship of the Dallas Fort Worth Group’s Chapel Project.
