The relationship between guru and disciple is the greatest expression of love in friendship; it is unconditional divine friendship, based on a shared singular goal: the desire to love God above all else.
— Paramahansa Yogananda
On the sacred occasion of Guru Purnima, YSS devotees offer heartfelt homage to the revered lineage of YSS Gurus — especially to our beloved Gurudeva, Sri Sri Paramahansa Yogananda, whose divine inspiration and guidance continue to lead us on the path of Self-realization.
To commemorate this occasion and honour the sacred guru-disciple relationship, we invite you to join us for a special online programme conducted by a YSS sannyasi.
This spiritually enriching event will include a group meditation, devotional chanting, and an inspiring discourse.
Please note: This event will be available for viewing until Sunday, July 13, 10 p.m. (IST).
On this blessed occasion, in-person programmes will be conducted at YSS ashrams, kendras, and mandalis. Please contact a YSS Centre near you for more details.
