Easter Sunrise Service With Brother Chidananda
Sunday, April 20, 7:00 a.m. (Pacific Time)
This year marks the 100th anniversary of Paramahansa Yogananda conducting the first Easter sunrise service held at the SRF International Headquarters (Mother Center) in 1925. We are happy to announce that on Sunday, April 20, SRF/YSS President Brother Chidananda will lead a special Easter sunrise service livestreamed from the Mother Center. (Please note: Participation in this event will be via livestream only, and the video will be available for viewing after the livestream.)
While the Easter sunrise service will be conducted in English, we are very pleased to share that simultaneous interpretation will be available in German, Italian, Portuguese, and Spanish. In addition, subtitles in these languages plus French and Japanese will be added to the video as soon as possible after the event.
