A Special Event

“With your organizational power you can do something much greater, much more lasting, much easier, and much more secure than present-day business organization in which one works to pay taxes, ruining his health and happiness.

~Paramahansa Yogananda (in a letter to Yogacharya, dated May 11, 1951)

You’re invited to the Annual Golden Lotus Banquet!

This annual event is hosted by the GLYTA Yoga Teachers Association. This event dates back to Song of the Morning’s early roots. Yogacharya valued creating special occasions where yogis near and far could come together to enjoy an evening out on the town while raising extra proceeds for the Retreat center. It is an opportunity to dress up, enjoy a delicious three-course meal, and be inspired by guest speakers and music.

Song of the Morning has a special connection with Detroit since this is where Yogacharya built his life and first began offering SRF Services. The Detroit Golf Club is a location he loved to spend time. This year’s Banquet is taking place at the Club. The evening will feature a delicious dinner and a musical performance. There will also be guest speakers, including Jim Clark who will be sharing about long-time member Bob Korb who was very close with Yogacharya and gave in tremendous ways to support the Ranch.
All funds raised will go towards Song of the Morning.

Tickets are again $85 this year, and we have several tasty meal options and sponsorship opportunities outlined below. Copy the link below in your browser to reserve your tickets or make your sponsorship donation. Our banquet is open to all, so please feel free to invite or bring guests.

This year’s dinner will be served buffet style with chicken, and vegan options to choose from.

Check-in begins at 4 pm
Cost: $85

The registration deadline is April 15!
