In rendering service to its needy brothers and sisters, YSS is putting into practice this counsel given by Sri Sri Paramahansa
Yogananda: “Spiritual consciousness means the use of super-wisdom, truth, to do the things that supremely benefit yourself and others. It includes selfless service to others, right behaviour, adherence to hygienic and all other laws of life, and a harmonious performance of all your duties, material and spiritual, without allowing one duty to contradict another.”
Yogoda Satsanga Society of India is continually monitoring the lockdown situation and will continue to reach out to the needy and jobless who are the most vulnerable at the moment: those who are either not able to procure healthcare or are not able to earn their daily wages due to the lockdown.
