Commemorative Meditations in SRF/YSS
In Self-Realization Fellowship/Yogoda Satsanga Society of India, certain commemorative meditations are conducted throughout the year to honor the enlightened gurus in the SRF lineage.
The teachings of SRF/YSS are founded upon the original Christianity of Jesus Christ and the original Yoga of Bhagavan Krishna. The spiritual lineage of SRF/YSS consists of these two great avatars and a line of exalted masters of contemporary times: Mahavatar Babaji, Lahiri Mahasaya, Swami Sri Yukteswar, and Paramahansa Yogananda (last in the line of SRF/YSS Gurus).
