"Even in the world, the yogi who faithfully discharges his responsibilities, without personal motive or attachment, treads the sure path of enlightenment."

Babaji to Lahiri Mahasaya

Autobiography of a Yogi, p. 364

Dear Jackie,

We are very happy to announce the start of a new service. We will hold an in-person 3-hour meditation on the second Saturday of each month from 6:00 pm to 9:00 pm. There will again be a sign-up sheet, and we will need at least 4 persons to sign up in order to offer the event each month. This service will be offered in addition to the long meditation currently offered every fourth Saturday of the month from 10 am to 2 pm.

We have received requests from several of our senior devotees about donating Self-Realization Fellowship materials to the Center for free. The Council decided that during certain potlucks, we will allow devotees to bring a box of SRF-related materials that they want to give away. They can personally offer this material to fellow devotees but must take back everything that is unclaimed by the end of the potluck.

Finally, there is an in-person Commemorative Service in honor of Maha-avatar Babaji on July 25th with kirtan. Please see below for details, and we hope you can join us.

Jai Guru.

Gauri Prakash-Canjels

Mahavatar Babaji Commemoration Service

We will hold a special service honoring Mahavatar Babaji on July 25, beginning at 7:30 pm. Please bring a flower and a donation in an envelope as symbols of your devotion and loyalty to the SRF line of Gurus. This service is primarily intended for those who are SRF students or other devotees who regularly attend the SRF meetings. However, all are welcome who are well enough acquainted with SRF teachings to appreciate the significance of the Guru‑disciple relationship and to participate in the service with sincerity and reverence.
