Brother Anandamoy (1922-2016) was one of Self-Realization Fellowship’s most loved and respected ministers. For decades he inspired SRF members and non-members alike with his incisive presentations of the teachings of Paramahansa Yogananda, personal reminiscences of his experiences with the Master, and his wise and compassionate personal counsel.

Brother Achalananda, vice-president of SRF, officiated at the memorial service and was joined by other senior monastics of Self-Realization Fellowship/Yogoda Satsanga Society of India in paying tribute to this much-loved disciple. In attendance were many other SRF monks and nuns and more than 1,000 SRF members and friends.
