11:00 am Sharing: Attune yourself to Divine Mother
Yogananda said, “You can worship God as the Father, but you can worship God as the Mother, because Mother is closer than the Father.” Opening our hearts and souls to the Mother helps us remember that God’s love and support is so much closer than we ever thought possible. Uma will share with us ways to cultivate this inner attunement.

20:30 pm Reader’s Theater: “The Smile that Wins” by PG Woodhouse
P.G. Wodehouse was Swami Kriyananda’s favorite humorist. Swamiji said that his humor was “kind”, pointing out the folly of human behaviour with consumate humor, but in a gentle and indulgent way. This story “The Smile that Wins” is one of his best.
