Dear Initiates, Seekers and Friends: 

 Wish you a very Happy Guru Purnima! 

Guru Purnima is celebrated as the "Guru's Day" amongst the spiritual community across the globe. On this day, seekers and initiates thank and remember their Gurus who brought the peace and light of spirituality in their lives. This year is exceptional because this year Guru Purnima coincides with Mahavatar Babaji Smriti Divas - the day when Mahavatar Babaji appeared to Paramhansa Yogananda. 

Today, I would like to point you to a chapter in the Autobiography of a Yogi which narrates the incident where Lahiri Mahasaya meets his Guru Mahavatar Babaji.

I just returned from India where I had the opportunity to visit Dunagiri where the above incident took place. You can see some photos on the DHC facebook page here:

All the best and keep up the practice,
