On August 20, 2000, Self-Realization Fellowship held a daylong celebration to honor the 50th anniversary of the dedication of SRF Lake Shrine in Pacific Palisades, California. As part of the festivities, six monastic disciples of Paramahansa Yogananda (Sister Parvati, Mukti Mata, Uma Mata, Brother Anandamoy, Brother Bhaktananda, and Brother Bimalananda) shared informal reminiscences of their years with the Guru 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.
