Guru Purnima is an ancient
holy day that is celebrated
on the full moon in July. It
is considered Spiritual New
Year for millions of seekers. It
is a day of reflection: a time
to be grateful for the spiritual
progress made in the previous
year, and to resolve to do what
we know we should do in the
year ahead. We honor God as
the Guru of all, bow to saints
and sages of all traditions, and
offer gratitude for the gurus
in our lineage of Kriya Yoga,
for the wisdom and blessings
that have transformed our life.
Everyone is welcome.

Source of Wisdom

The door to my heart broke open. At last You
Yourself stood there. My heart drifted toward
You on a stream of tears. Then it rejoiced at
Your feet.
