Picture the New Year as a garden you are responsible for planting. Sow the seeds of good habits in this soil and weed out worries and wrong actions of the past.
— Paramahansa Yogananda
Paramahansa Yoganandaji initiated the practice of group meditation at the advent of the New Year. He encouraged devotees to meditate deeply as we usher in the New Year and to make a strong determination to give up bad habits and replace them with good ones.
We invite you to join us for a special online New Year’s Eve group meditation on Wednesday, December 31, 11:30 p.m. to Thursday, January 1, 12:15 a.m. (IST). This meditation will be conducted by a YSS sannyasi in English.
Please note: For those unable to attend this meditation at the time shared above, a recording will be available for viewing on YouTube until Tuesday, January 6, 10:00 p.m. (IST).
This unique way of ushering in the New Year with a meditation is also observed at our YSS ashrams, and some of our kendras and mandalis. Please contact a YSS Centre near you for more details.
