About the Event

When I am gone, the teachings will be the Guru…. Through the teachings, you will be in tune with me and with the great Gurus who sent me.

— Paramahansa Yogananda

On the auspicious occasion of Guru Purnima, it has been a tradition to pay homage to our line of Gurus and especially our beloved Gurudeva, Paramahansa Yogananda who inspired us to follow this divine path of self-realization.

While we cannot be physically present at the ashrams and dhyana kendras to offer our devotion, we can still invoke his powerful blessings by worshipping him from the altar of our hearts, sitting in our homes.

This year, YSS celebrated Guru Purnima by conducting two special online meditation sessions in English and Hindi led by YSS sannyasis. Each session included a period of chanting, a period of meditation for 45 minutes, and an inspirational talk for 45 minutes.

May all of us feel the living presence of the Gurus on this special day.
