“Remember this: When I am gone, only love can take my place. Be absorbed night and day in the love of God, and give that love to all.” — Paramhansa Yogananda
Remembering the guru with love
Reporting for duty
Lately I’ve been enjoying stopping by this statue of Master during my morning walks. It feels nice to “check in” with him before I go about my day.
But I felt a subtle shift around it this morning. Rather than a checking in, it felt more like I was reporting for duty. I even felt the urge to salute!
“Aye, aye, Master, SIR! Right away, Master, SIR!”
I feel like I’ve taken Sister Gyanamata’s quote about “Say yes and make it snappy!” to another level.
A special Guru Day
Thursdays are Guru Day and today’s was extra special! A beautiful statue of Yogananda took up residence on the ridge overlooking Ananda Village. From this vantage point he will bless the community, the region, and all the world.
Moving the statue into place…
Yogananda’s feet are firmly grounded at the Village…
Applying the finishing touches…
