Paramhansa Yogananda Birthday 2024: Strolling Kirtan in Kolkata

On the blessed morning of 5th January, 2024, Disciples across India and from outside India gathered in “Yogi Para” : the neighbourhood of the residence of Paramhansa Yogananda: to walk (and sing!) in the footsteps of beloved Gurudev. Yogananda is known to have led “Prabhaat Pheri” (Morning Strolling Kirtan) in this very neighbourhood, about a century back. Here we are: singing His song, sharing His light, celebrating His Love. Jai Guru!

Many devotees from all over India and around the world gather together to celebrate Master’s birthday in Kolkata, where he was born and spent his childhood. In the evening, we organize a purification ceremony on the Ganges, surrounded by the blessed energy of our Gurudev.
