SRF Lake Shrine 50th Anniversary Celebration — Stories of Paramahansa Yogananda by Direct Disciples
On August 20, 2000, Self-Realization Fellowship held a day-long celebration to honor the 50th anniversary of the Lake Shrine’s dedication. As part of the festivities, six monastic disciples of Paramahansa Yogananda (Sister Parvati, Mukti Mata, Uma Mata, Brother Anandamoy, Brother Bhaktananda, Brother Bimalananda) shared informal reminiscences of their years with him and of events related to the opening of the Lake Shrine. This video captures their stories, interspersed with rare archival footage and photos from the dedication of the Lake Shrine. The inspiring accounts of these monks and nuns convey the love, joy, and wisdom they encountered in the great master’s presence, giving viewers firsthand intimate insights into the experience of daily life around Paramahansaji.

An excellent introduction to what Paramahansa Yogananda brought to the world, this talk delves into how we can apply the Guru's insights to spiritualize our lives.
