"Wake! All your earthly thirsts are about to be quenched forever… My son, arise. Receive your initiation into the kingdom of God through Kriya Yoga."

Mahavatar Babaji to Lahiri Mahasaya

Autobiography of a Yogi, pp. 296-307

Dear Jackie,

We had an inspiring month of June with the SRF World Convocation 2025, which was held in person in Los Angeles and at the Greenfield Retreat. The online version of the Convocation is still available at the SRF website in case you missed it (Self-Realization Fellowship).

Also, there is no Sunday School offered during summer. The classes will resume on September 14, 2025 (again on the second and fourth Sundays of the month).

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.

Potluck Social

All are warmly invited to join us for this month's potluck social on July 13, immediately following the morning Reading service. Please bring a vegetarian entree, fruit juice, or dessert, if you plan to attend. 

Mahavatar Babaji Commemoration Day 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.
