DC Center of SRF

He is risen from the limitations of the physical body, the astral body and the causal body into Omnipresence.
One with omnipresent Christ Consciousness, Jesus is risen in the heart of every flower, every ray of sunshine, every noble thought.

He is risen in our minds, our hearts, our souls---there is no separation between him and us.
He is walking in the garden of our love, in the garden of our sacred devotion, in the garden of our meditation and Kriya Yoga.

And through your meditation and divine communion you shall be resurrected with him, from the sepulchre of the body and mortal consciousness into the ever blissful infinitude of Spirit "

Paramahansa Yogananda

MONTHLY NEWS APRIL 2010

Welcome to the April 2010 edition of the Washington DC Center of Self-Realization Fellowship eNewsletter.

In this issue we bring you an invitation to meditate with us at the various services we have scheduled celebrating the life and teachings of Jesus. Please visit our bookroom where you can find Yogananda's :

THE SECOND COMING OF CHRIST
The Resurrection of the Christ Within You
A revelatory commentary on the original teachings of Jesus

"In titling this work "The Secong Coming of Christ", I am not referring to a literal return of Jesus to earth...A thousand Christs sent to earth would not redeem its people unless they themselves become Christlike by purifying and expanding their individual consciousness to receive therein the second coming of the Christ Consciousness, as was manifested in Jesus... Contact with this Consciousness, experienced in the ever new joy of meditation, will be the real second coming of Christ - and it will take place right in the devotee's consciousness."

- Paramahansa Yogananda

We look forward to seeing you at the Center!

We will hold an Easter Sunrise service at our center on April 4, starting at 8:00 am and ending at 9:00 am. This will be followed by a potluck breakfast in our upstairs room. Our regular Sunday services will follow beginning at 10:00 am. All are welcome.

The SRF Greenfield Retreat in Front Royal, Va, will have a general retreat from Friday, April 2 through Sunday April 4th, 2010. The retreat is open to all Kriyabans and SRF students. If you would like to attend the retreat, please sign the attendance sheet in our Chapel's foyer or contact Greenfield directly.

Our monthly potluck in April will be on Sunday the 11th, following our Reading service. These events are ideal for newcomers to get to know members at our Center as well as to become more acquainted to the SRF teachings in an informal setting. All devotees are warmly invited to attend this potluck and enjoy an afternoon of spiritual fellowship and healthy food.

We will have a general membership meeting on Sunday, April 25th, that will also include the annual elections for the DC managing council positions, as well as for service readers and Sunday school teachers.
