Upcoming Special Events
Saturday, August 24, 8:00 p.m. - Janmashtami Commemorative Service
Paramahansa Yogananda said, “Celebration of the birthday of a God-realized soul...is a deeply spiritual occasion on which the vibrations of blessing from an illumined master are stronger than on other days in the year, because in the astral world, also, a celebration is taking place. Devotees who attend...with the right attitude will reap spiritual benefits and will find their high resolutions strengthened."
SRF members and friends are invited to attend a Janmashtami Service honoring the anniversary of the birth of Bhagavan Sri Krishna on Sunday August 17th at 8:00 p.m. in the Temple.
It is customary to bring a flower and a donation to be offered during the devotional service. As usual, for your convenience, flowers will be available on a donation basis one hour before the service begins.
Please note that this Commemoration Service replaces our usual Sunday evening Meditation Service.
