It is when you persistently, selflessly, perform every action with love-inspired thoughts of God that He will come to you. Then you realize that you are the Ocean of Life, which has become the tiny wave of each life. This is the way of knowing the Lord through activity. When in every action you think of Him before you act, while you are performing the action, and after you have finished it, He will reveal Himself to you. You must work, but let God work through you; this is the best part of devotion. If you are constantly thinking that He is walking through your feet, working through your hands, accomplishing through your will, you will know Him.

Dear Jackie,

We are joyously looking forward to the upcoming Self-Realization Fellowship Convocation 2024 which is being offered in-person (and online) at Westin Bonaventure in Los Angeles, CA. The convocation at Bonaventure was last offered in 2019. It is held from July 14 to July 20, 2024, and offers a transformative program of classes on Paramahansa Yoganandaji’s teachings and meditation techniques, guided group meditations, kirtan (devotional chanting), pilgrimage tours to ashrams where the great Guru lived and communed with the Divine, opportunities to meet with SRF monastics and other attendees in a spirit of divine fellowship, and more.  

Also, there is no Sunday School offered during summer. The classes will resume in September 2024 (again on the second and fourth Sundays of the month).

Jai Guru.
