ONE WEEK LEFT to reserve your seat for the 2026 GLYTA Annual Spring Banquet! ✨

Since 1975, the Golden Lotus Banquet has been bringing our community together in a spirit of fellowship, friendship, and support for Song of the Morning Yoga & Meditation Retreat.

As a little glimpse into banquet history, here is a special photo of Yogacharya outside the Detroit Golf Club... a place that was very dear to his heart and a place where our banquet has been held many times over the years.

Can you guess who is standing beside him?
We’ll reveal the answer on April 1... and no, it’s not an April Fool’s joke 😉

✨ Join us for an evening of fellowship, inspiration, music, and a beautiful dinner in support of Song of the Morning.

📍 Saturday, May 2, 2026
📍 BJ’s Catering & Event Center, Ga***rd

Paramahansa Yogananda's book of "Scientific Healing Affirmations" offers guidance and wisdom on the power of affirmations. This book "provides a deeper understanding of the remarkable relationship between mind, energy, and matter, and how concentrated affirmations can rouse the limitless healing power of Spirit within you".

At Song of the Morning, whether it be through our unique, meditative style of hatha yoga or in our group meditations, we practice this healing technique collectively, weaving this power of affirming truth throughout our service and sadhana to uplift the community, fellow seekers, and all beings of the world.

With the return of daylight saving time, may the extra sunshine remind us of the eternal light and love of our Everlasting Beloved. As the ice begins to melt, may our hearts swell and overflow with divine friendship, compassion, and sweetness. As life reawakens from its snowy slumber, may every being realign with the Divine Light and continue along their path to the Infinite with utter clarity and peace.

We invite you to join us this weekend at Song of the Morning for a special meditation retreat, The Art & Science of Meditation, taking place March 13–15, 2026.
