Kriya Yoga, the scientific technique of God-realization will ultimately spread in all lands, and aid in harmonizing the nations through man’s personal, transcendental perception of the Infinite Father.
— Mahavatar Babaji in Autobiography of a Yogi
Before Paramahansa Yogananda embarked on his journey to America in 1920, Mahavatar Babaji visited Gurudeva’s home at Garpar Road, Kolkata to give him divine assurance about his mission to spread Kriya Yoga teachings worldwide. Yogoda Satsanag Society of India devotees have commemorated this meeting of Mahavatar Babaji with Paramahansa Yogananda as Mahavatar Babaji Smriti Divas.
To mark this sacred day, we invite you to join us for an online meditation to honour Mahavatar Babaji. This programme will be conducted in English by a YSS sannyasi and will include periods of chanting, inspirational reading, and meditation. It will be live-streamed from YSS Noida ashram.
Please note: This event will be available for viewing until Saturday, July 26, 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.
