We warmly invite all SRF Lessons students to join us today, at 12:30 p.m., as a Minister leads a special class to review the Aum Technique at the main Temple. If you wish to attend, please bring your SRF Student or Kriyaban card or your activated SRF Lessons app for admittance. Also, as a courtesy to others attending the class, kindly make a special effort to arrive on time.

Our Guru, Paramahansa Yogananda, wrote, “Wherever one is on the way back to God, the Gita will shed its light on that segment of the journey . . .  it is at once a profound scripture on the science of yoga, union with God, and a textbook for everyday living.”

With that quote in mind, we are happy to announce that a new scriptural study group, dedicated to the study of God Talks With Arjuna: The Bhagavad Gita, will begin meeting at the J Street Chapel next Sunday, June 1, from 4 – 5:30 p.m.

The study group format is as follows:

  • 4-4:30 Meditation
  • 4:30-5:00 Reading and contemplation of a few pages from The Gita, one paragraph at a time
  • 5-5:30 Meditation and Healing Service

Doors open each half-hour, and all are welcome to attend whether or not one has a copy of The Gita (some Temple copies will be available to use during each study group session).

We have more good news to share! The 2nd and 5th Saturday morning group meditations at the J Street Chapel have been extended to three hours, beginning this coming Saturday, May 31. Group practice of the Energization Exercises will begin on the patio at 7 a.m. followed by meditation until 10 a.m. All are welcome to attend.

If you are new to the Encinitas Temple or to Self-Realization Fellowship, feel free to visit the Greeters table on the patio. There you will find a wide variety of free literature with information about SRF and Encinitas Temple services and activities as well as volunteers to answer your questions. We look forward to meeting you!

And all are welcome to sign a Father’s Day card for SRF President Brother Chidananda at a table outside on the south side of the patio.

Saturday, May 31: The SRF Lessons Study Group is reading from Supplement Lesson 28, “Guiding Your Life with Reason and Intuitive Discrimination.”
