Inauguration of the Voluntary League of Disciples

A Special Event With SRF/YSS President Brother Chidananda

Brother Chidananda, president and spiritual head of Self-Realization Fellowship/Yogoda Satsanga Society of India, gave a special talk and inaugurated the SRF/YSS Voluntary League of Disciples on Wednesday, June 30, in an event that was livestreamed from the SRF International Headquarters in Los Angeles. (Please note: The inaugural event is still available for viewing here, but is not available on the SRF YouTube channel.)

The Voluntary League of Disciples is formed of SRF and YSS Kriya Yogis who structure their lives around the sadhana set forth by Paramahansa Yogananda, and who give freely of their time and resources to advance the Guru’s work for the upliftment of humanity. The advent of the Voluntary League of Disciples is a major milestone in Paramahansa Yogananda’s mission of spreading India’s ancient science of Kriya Yoga and his “how-to-live” teachings worldwide.
