Today’s meditation will focus on the birth of Paramhansa Yogananda, born on January 5, 1893.

Weekday mornings we offer a group meditation in the beautiful sanctuary of our temple.  Each morning is led by a different member of our ministry team with the following flow:

6:15 – doors are open

6:30 – opening prayer, chanting, reading from Whispers from Eternity by Paramhansa Yogananda

6:40 approx – silent meditation begins

6:45 – front door is locked

7:55 – 8: 00  –  meditation ends with healing prayers

You are able to leave at anytime if you cannot stay for the entire meditation.  We have chairs and a few blankets and cushions available but you are encouraged to bring your own meditation gear. 

“Group meditation is like a castle which protects spiritual novices as well as veteran meditators against the besieging armies of delusion. Meditating together increases the degree of Self-realization of each member of the group, by the law of invisible vibratory exchange of spiritual magnetism.”   Paramhansa Yogananda
