Sri Daya Mata
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Sri Daya Mata is the current president and sanghamata (Mother of the Society) of Self-Realization Fellowship (SRF Headquarters in Los Angeles, CA) and the YSS (Yogoda Satsanga Society in India).
Born Faye Wright on January 31, 1914, in Utah, her interest in spirituality was apparent since childhood. It reached a point of craving when she first met Paramahansa Yogananda in 1931. Braving reluctance from her family, she joined Yogananda's ashram a few weeks later. After the passing away of Yogananda and his successor Rajarsi Janakananda, Daya Mata became the third president of YSS/SRF in 1955.[1]
She has written three books - Only Love, Finding the Joy within you and Enter the Quiet Heart.
