Calmness
Make up your mind to be calm no matter what happens, knowing that you are a child of God. If you are fully identified with your activities, you cannot be conscious of God, but if you are calm within while being active without, you are rightly active. In the silence you will receive from God answers to your life's problems. When you think that you have reached the utmost depth of silence and calmness, go deeper still. Each time a swarm of worries invades you mind, refuse to be affected; wait calmly, while seeking the remedy. Spray the worries with the powerful chemical of your peace. You cannot buy peace. You must know how to manufacture it in the stillness of your daily practices in meditation. You yourself must find peace within. --Paramahansa Yogananda |

DFW Chapel Services Update
We continue to monitor updates and news from both local and SRF sources regarding the opening of our DFW Chapel for services. We are configuring the chapel and India hall for social distancing and going over health and safety procedures for the time when we will be able to meet there again.
As you are aware, the recommendation to adhere to social distancing guidelines remains for the purpose of maintaining safety for ourselves and others. We take your safety very seriously and know that the small size of our Chapel poses distinct challenges regarding adherence to social distance guidelines. We very much look forward to the time when our services can resume and at that time we will send out notifications and updates.

Update on SRF Centennial Commemoration Weekend in Boston
Because the state of Massachusetts is not yet allowing hotels to host large events or organized gatherings of any kind due to COVID-19, it has been necessary to cancel our planned September 18 – 20 Centennial Commemoration weekend program in Boston.
However, in its place we will present a special online program during the same weekend to commemorate Paramahansa Yogananda’s historic arrival in Boston, Massachusetts, on September 19, 1920. Details will be announced in the near future.
