2024 Golden Lotus Spring Banquet

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. A schedule will be announced soon listing the guest speakers, evening entertainment and exact timing of programs.

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 meal options include:

All meals will be served with a garden salad and dressing, dinner rolls, rice pilaf, roasted zucchini and yellow squash. We will also have a desert table with assorted cakes, pies and cheesecake with fruit toppings, and an iced tea and lemonade station.
