Jammu, Mar 5: Three days spiritual retreat of Yogoda Satsanga Society (YSS) organized by Yogoda Satsanga Dhyana Kendra (YSDK), Jammu concluded today. The spiritual retreat was conducted by Swami Smaranananda Giriji, General Secretary of Yogoda Satsanga Society of India along with Brahmchari Achyutananda and Brahm-chari Chaityananda. YSS was founded in 1917 by Sri Sri Paramahansa Yogananda, author of the spiritual classic, "Autobiography of a Yogi", which is available in 50 languages, including 14 Indian languages. Swamiji informed that YSS is a spiritual and charitable organization, open to people of all races, religions, cultures and creeds, making available the teachings of Paramahansaji to all sincere seekers. One of the major aims of YSS is to reveal the complete harmony, basic oneness, and common foundations of all true religions. Other ideals include the liberation of man from his threefold suffering - physical disease, mental inharmonies and spiritual ignorance - through scientific Yoga techniques such as the Energization Exercises designed by Paramahansaji, and concentration and meditation techniques, leading to direct personal experience of God; and to serve mankind as one's larger Self. |
