Special Message From Brother Chidananda About the SRF Lake Shrine and Los Angeles Fires

We invite all members and friends of Self-Realization Fellowship to view this video of Brother Chidananda, president and spiritual head of Self-Realization Fellowship/Yogoda Satsanga Society of India, as he conveys a special message of comfort, reassurance, and encouragement and describes the dramatic events that unfolded at the SRF Lake Shrine in Pacific Palisades during the wildfires in Los Angeles. We are deeply thankful for what we were able to discover about the situation at the Lake Shrine in recent days — and for the tireless and valiant efforts of the firefighters who protected this sacred pilgrimage site — yet we know that ongoing prayers are needed, including for all who may be in harm’s way.
