In this inspiring talk Sri Mrinalini Mata, fourth president of Self-Realization Fellowship/Yogoda Satsanga Society of India, shares memories of her first encounter with Paramahansa Yogananda in 1945 — an experience she describes as “stepping from a dream into Reality.” Mrinalini Mata, one of the close disciples Paramahansaji personally chose to carry on his work after his passing, delves into the singular importance of a true guru on the spiritual path and offers a soul-stirring testimony of the joy that comes from keeping one’s inner gaze focused on the Light of Spirit. This talk was recorded in 1973 at the SRF International Headquarters in Los Angeles during a pilgrimage visit of devotees from the SRF San Diego Temple.
