NOVEMBER NEWS AND EVENTS 2016 |

|
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.

SRF Nuns at Dallas Fort Worth Meditation Group
On Sunday October 9th Brahmacharinis Angelina and Emily gave inspiring services to our group and Sunday School. They presided over our morning worship services, Sunday School and a Satsanga in the afternoon. A wonderful social was held at 12:00 noon after services.
This marks the first time our group has hosted nuns of Self-Realization Fellowship. We had record attendances for all activities and everyone felt the upliftment of these activities and this day.
The SRF nuns were here presiding over the Girls Youth Day Program held at the beautiful Lake Texoma retreat location on October 8th, 2016. This was a first ever event for us, and the second of it's kind, in a new SRF program for bringing Paramahansa Yogananda's teachings to the youth in SRF. The Boy's Youth Day Program was held the following Saturday, October 15th and was presided over by Brother Sarvananda and Brahmachari Troy. These programs will be coming to other areas over the coming years.
Our group was the support for this year's SRF Youth Day Programs at Lake Texoma. We would like to thank all those who offered their support and help for the two weekends. |
