Description

YOGODA SATSANGA SOCIETY OF INDIA

Yogoda Satsanga Society of India (YSS) was founded by Sri Sri Paramahansa Yogananda in 1917. The mission of YSS is to make available to all the ancient scientific teachings, and meditation techniques of Kriya Yoga for achieving all-round success, well-being, and a direct personal experience of God. YSS has more than 200 centers across India to help all Truth-seekers to experience the power of group meditations and to share in spiritual fellowship. A YSS meditation center was started in Mumbai by a small group of devotees in the early 1960s. Former president and Sanghamataji of YSS, Sri Sri Daya Mataji was welcomed in Mumbai by this little gathering of sincere devoted seekers. Following Daya Mataji’s visit, this inspired group gained strength and established it’s working quarters from the home of a devotee, Sri Kulamani Rath. It started as a small Dhyana Mandali, at the residence of Sri Rath, the then Asst. Commissioner of Income Tax, at 5, Sujata, Ghodbunder Road (now known as Sw. Vivekananda Road) in 1962 and continued there till 1967. Thereafter, it shifted to the residence of Mr. Vanraj Shethia. As the number of devotees grew, an office was purchased in Tardeo area of Mumbai in 2001. But the search was on for a property that would provide devotees with a place to gather for meditations as well as to provide them access to all YSS publication material.
