Today, January 5, 2019 is 126 years after the birth of Paramhansa Yogananda, author of one of the greatest spiritual works of the 20th century, AUTOBIOGRAPHY OF A YOGI. Today we gather in meditation to tune into the living presence of this world teacher who brought Kriya Yoga to the West. Yogananda is considered the patron saint of intentional communities for the modern era.
The Birthday Meditation is a free event.
Following the meditation, carpooling will be available for those going to the SIFF Uptown Theatre in Queen Anne for the premier showing of THE ANSWER: the story of how Ananda’s founder, Swami Kriyananda, met Paramhansa Yogananda in 1948. This movie is an inspiring story of the search for truth in our times and the role of Yogananda to guide millions toward Self-realization. Check our website for details on obtaining tickets for the one-time showing.
