YSS to Host Special Spiritual Programme in Colombo
As growing numbers of people seek practical ways to manage stress, improve mental well-being, and find greater meaning in life, the Yogoda Satsanga Society of India (YSS) will host a special public lecture in Colombo titled “Kriya Yoga: The Key to a Happy and Successful Life” on Friday, June 5, 2026, from 5.30 p.m. to 7.30 p.m. at the Buddhist Cultural Centre (BCC), Colombo 05.
The lecture will be delivered by Swami Suddhananda Giri, a senior monk (sannyasi) of YSS who has spent decades sharing the teachings of Paramahansa Yogananda around the world.
Open to individuals of all faiths and backgrounds, the event will explore how timeless spiritual principles and meditation practices can help cultivate inner peace, clarity, resilience, and lasting happiness while navigating the demands of modern life.
“The challenges of modern life have led many people to seek practical methods for achieving inner calm, clarity, and balance,” said a spokesperson for YSS. “This programme offers an opportunity to learn time-tested meditation techniques that can help individuals experience greater peace, purpose, and fulfilment in their daily lives.”
Founded in 1917 by Paramahansa Yogananda, the Yogoda Satsanga Society of India (YSS) is dedicated to the teachings of meditation, self-realisation, and harmonious living. Yogananda is best known as the author of Autobiography of a Yogi, a spiritual classic that has inspired millions worldwide.
Following the public lecture, YSS monks will conduct a two-day meditation and spiritual learning programme on June 6 and 7, 2026, at the Swami Vivekananda Cultural Centre, High Commission of India, Colombo 07. Participants will learn foundational meditation techniques, gain deeper insights into the teachings of Paramahansa Yogananda, and explore practical ways to integrate spiritual principles into everyday life.
