“Look Always to the Light” by Sri Mrinalini Mata

In this inspiring talk Sri Mrinalini Mata, sanghamata and fourth president of Yogoda Satsanga Society of India/Self-Realization Fellowship, shares memories of her first encounter with Paramahansa Yogananda in 1945 — an experience she describes as “stepping from a dream into Reality.” Mrinalini Mataji, one of the close disciples Paramahansaji personally chose to carry on his work after his passing, delves into the singular importance of a true guru on the spiritual path and offers a soul-stirring testimony of the joy that comes from keeping one’s inner gaze focused on the Light of Spirit. This talk was recorded in 1973 at the SRF International Headquarters in Los Angeles during a pilgrimage visit of devotees from the SRF San Diego Temple.
