Announcements for September 21, 2025

Our next Inspirational and Prayer service will be held this Thursday, September 25, beginning at 7:30 pm, in the barn chapel on the Greenfield grounds. The chapel opens at 7:15.

We will be offering a conducted weekend retreat led by SRF monastics at the 4-H Educational Center from this Friday, September 26 to Sunday September 28. Registration is required; visit our website, srfgreenfield.org, and click on the Retreats menu at the top of the page; then click Conducted Weekend Retreats to fill out the online reservation form. The suggested donation for the conducted weekend retreat is $125. Registration for the retreat is open up to the time of the event, and you can also register on-site.

The retreat begins Friday evening, Sept. 26 with a joint commemoration service for both the birthday and the mahasamadhi of Lahiri Mahasaya. The service begins at 7:00 pm and ends at 8:30 pm. Please bring a flower to this service as a symbol of your devotion, and a donation may be given as a symbol of your loyalty to the work of Self Realization Fellowship. Retreat registration is not required to attend this service.

As this joint service celebrates both the birthday and mahasamadhi of Lahiri Mahasaya, our mahasamadhi commemoration service scheduled for Tuesday evening, September 30, has been cancelled. However, you are invited to attend a livestreamed one-hour mahasamadhi commemoration service for Lahiri Mahasaya at noon on Tuesday, September 30, led by Sr. Brahmani.  If you cannot attend the livestreamed presentation, the event will be available for viewing through Wednesday, October 1 on the event page.

Click on the link in the calendar to obtain details about how to join the livestream event. If the livestream event is over, the links will take you to an event page where you can view a recording of the service through Wednesday, October 1.
