Sri Mrinalini Mata (1931 – 2017), sanghamata and fourth president of Yogoda Satsanga Society of India/Self-Realization Fellowship, draws from her years of personal training with Paramahansa Yogananda to exhort us all to be channels of God’s light and love to help illumine this world. This deeply encouraging talk, recorded at the 2011 SRF World Convocation in Los Angeles, was the first time Mrinalini Mataji addressed an international gathering of YSS/SRF devotees and friends after becoming president of YSS/SRF.
Topics include:
- A tribute to the lineage of divine souls responsible for the founding and growth of Yogoda Satsanga Society of India/Self-Realization Fellowship
- The most common question of devotees: “Why am I not making more spiritual progress?”
- How to manifest a conquering spirit, no matter what one’s difficulties may be
- The spiritual efficacy of Kriya Yoga and how its devoted practice bestows assurance of spiritual progress
- Personal reminiscences of her years spent with Paramahansa Yogananda
- An inspiring account of the last days of Sri Daya Mata, late beloved president of YSS/SRF.
Sri Mrinalini Mata was one of the close disciples of Paramahansa Yogananda personally chosen and trained by him to help guide his worldwide society after his passing. She dedicated more than seventy years to selflessly serving her Guru’s work, fulfilling the roles of editor-in-chief and vice president of SRF for many decades, and president of YSS/SRF from 2011 until her passing in 2017.
