19th july, 2016 Guru Purnima, Noida

Welcome to the July—August 2016 edition of the Yogoda Satsanga Society of India eNewsletter. This month we present powerful, practical words of Paramahansa Yogananda on recharging the body with God's unlimited cosmic energy.

In these quotes, Paramahansaji speaks about the value of the YSS/SRF Energization Exercises—a unique method whose principles he discovered in 1916. This year we honour the 100th anniversary of this powerful technique of pranayama (life-force control), which is available to all students of the YSS Lessons, for spiritualizing the body, developing dynamic will, and increasing vitality and health.

Paramahansa Yogananda

The system of Energization Exercises that Yogoda Satsanga Society teaches is based on the principle of using will to draw energy from the cosmic source, and to distribute that energy by will to the trillions of cells in the body. We draw most of the current for our actions from the physical supply of the body battery—energy distilled from food, oxygen, and sunshine. We don't draw enough energy from the invisible cosmic source, through the conscious use of will.

Life force enters the body through the agency of an interested, joyous attitude—it doesn't respond to a half-dead will! Learn to perform all your duties with a courageous cheerfulness welling up from within you. Then, as you perform your daily activities, you will see that a flood of vitality will move through all your muscles and through your entire body.

While the muscles and limbs of your body are busily engaged in performing your duties, visualise a halo of God's cosmic energy surrounding your body, and feel that you can never become tired again because your tissues are being renewed, supplied with current from that energy and not merely from food or oxygen.

The faithful practice of the Energization Exercises will show the student that he is not the body, that the body is merely the beautiful tabernacle of the indwelling immortal life energy.

Instruction in Paramahansa Yogananda's Energization Exercises is included in the Yogoda Satsanga Lessons.

On July 30, 2016, the President of India, Hon'ble Sri Pranab Mukherjee, met with Swami Smaranananda the General Secretary of Yogoda Satsanga Society of India, and Swami Ishwarananda.

The meeting took place at the Rashtrapati Bhawan in New Delhi.

The monks shared with President news of the upcoming centennial of Paramahansa Yogananda's work in India, which began in 1917; and his pioneering role in bringing a deeper understanding of Yoga both within and outside of India. They extended an invitation for him to visit Yogoda Satsanga Society of India's Ranchi ashram and also presented to the President a letter from YSS/SRF Sanghamata and President, Sri Sri Mrinalini Mata.
