This weekend we celebrate the mahasamadhis of the great avatars of our yoga lineage, Paramhansa Yogananda and his guru, Sri Yukteswar. The anniversary events, occurring on Friday and Sunday this year, mark the final exit from the body of these great souls and are filled with opportunities for blessings to all those who attune themselves through meditation to their consciousness.

For those dedicated to a spiritual path and lineage, there is no greater blessing than the divine friendship of the guru. Dispeller of darkness and Giver of Light, the Guru awakens within us our own highest potential and in the process guides us through the most amazing adventure of life imaginable and ultimately to Self-realization and unity to all that is. It is the deepest of Loves and opens within each of us our own ability to love selflessly and expansively. The remedy to this growing world of chaos, that Love ultimately brings us Home both here on earth and ever after. Come explore this adventure with us, find out what it means to have a Divine Friend and a community of other truth seeking yogis. We have upcoming classes both in the guru-disciple relationship and a comprehensive course on the yogic path starting next week. Perfect timing to ground yourself in a reality that can withstand the challenges of these tumuoltous times with ever greater inner joy.

Together in the Guru’s Grace,
