Dear PMG Devotees,

Due to the forecast of severe thunderstorms, heavy rain, and potentially hazardous weather conditions, we have decided to cancel the Princeton Meditation Group service scheduled for Thursday, August 20.
We encourage everyone to stay safe, avoid unnecessary travel during the storm, and enjoy a peaceful evening of meditation and spiritual reflection at home.

Thank you for your understanding.

Please take care and stay safe.

With warm regards,

Vidya Harish

Whenever anyone utters with reverence the name of Babaji,” Lahiri Mahasaya said, “that devotee attracts an instant spiritual blessing.” - Autobiography of a Yogi

Yesterday we had our Commemoration Service for Mahavatar Babaji!

Remember, you have the power to be strong. Right behind your consciousness is the omnipotence of God. But instead of utilizing that divine strength, you have built up a solid wall between yourself and His power. Your concentration is always focused outside, dependent on the material body and world, instead of inside on the Divine Indweller. That is why you think you have limitations.

From “Solving the Mystery of Life” by Paramahansa Yogananda

So many devotional souls came together yesterday to commemorate the birth anniversary of our Paramguru, Swami Sri Yukteswar!

05/09/2026

We warmly invite you to join us for the Commemoration Service of Swami Sri Yukteswar May 10th at 10:00 a.m. It will be held at 12 Roszel Road, Suite B201 2nd floor Princeton, NJ 08540. As we honor the life and wisdom of this great sage, we remember his timeless guidance that illuminates our path.

On such sacred days, we are reminded of the blessings that flow from the great Gurus. As Paramahansa Yogananda teaches us in the Self-Realization Fellowship, these days carry a special vibration—a chance for us to receive divine grace, inner peace, and clarity on our journey.

Please join us, bring your hearts, and let us meditate together, honoring the lineage and opening ourselves to these divine blessings. 

*It is customary to bring a flower, your favorite if possible, and a donation in a sealed envelope

to Special Services, as symbols of your devotion and loyalty to Self-Realization Fellowship and

the SRF Gurus. The devotee should not smell the flower(s) and thus “take” for himself or

herself a part of the gift meant for God.

The Princeton Meditation Group attended Paramahansa Yogananda’s 100th year Anniversary of devotional chanting in New York this past weekend. Yogananda first introduced Indian devotional chanting, known as Kirtan, to thousands of westerners at Carnegie Hall in 1926!
