Excerpt
from The Flawless Mirror, by Kamala Silva
Kamala Silva was a life-long disciple of Paramhansa Yogananda.
In her book, The Flawless Mirror (available at the Ananda
Online Store, she writes lovingly of her 27 years with her
guru. Shortly before his passing, she recounts a conversation
with Yogananda about World Brotherhood Colonies.
"On one of the drives along the coast, Master spoke
to me about the value of SRF Colonies. He referred to the
forming of groups within a city or a rural area in the manner
of hermitage life, among members who do not desire to become
renunciates, or cannot do so because of certain obligations.
Such a life would enable each one to be in daily association
with those who share the same spiritual goal.
"He described such Colonies as made up of married
couples and their families, as well as single people, who
have the will to serve, and to live in harmony with one
another. Master envisioned the idea as one in which all
may work together in a self-supporting group wherein each
one is dedicated to God."
