Sunday Service with Dharmadas and Nirmala: Is God Present Even There, Where There Is Ignorance?

“Truth is one and eternal. Realize oneness with it in your deathless Self, within.”  Thus begins our weekly reading from Swami Kriyananda’s Rays of the One Light, which offers commentaries on the Bible and the Bhagavad Gita based on the teachings of Paramhansa Yogananda.

The minister then offers an inspirational talk, exploring the ideals from the reading—including soul-expansion through meditation, selfless service, and devotional self-offering. The services incorporate prayer, chanting, and music to awaken the inner joy of the soul.

This is followed by The Festival of Light—a poetic ceremony celebrating the journey of the soul to Self-realization.

This Week’s Topic: Is God Present Even There, Where There Is Ignorance?

When Yogananda tried to sleep in the hut of Ram Gopal Muzumdar, he witnessed flashes of lightning and molten light before his vision, regardless of whether his eyes were open or closed.

Join Dharmadas and Nirmala this Sunday to explore this divine light that shines within the darkness yet remains beyond its comprehension.

While our services are available both in person and online, attending in person often creates a deeper spiritual experience. Whether you join us online or in our temple, all are welcome on this journey of self-awakening.
