The Yogoda Satsanga Hyderabad Dhyana Kendra organized a 24-hour meditation in the Kendra premises in Begumpet from 7 pm on August 19, 2017 to 7 pm on August 20, 2017. This is the second time that the Kendra has organized this kind of long meditation. The attendance for this meditation was even better than last time, despite the short notice and also rains on August 19, 2017. The session opened with almost 50 devotees in attendance. Devotees continued to meditate all through the night, some rested in between and got back, but overall there were at least 25-30 devotees at any given time. Several new members also joined this meditation. Snacks and tea/coffee were provided in the dining hall downstairs. Breakfast and lunch were provided during the day at a specific timing.

This meditation was themed for Janmashtami and concluded the next day with a memorial service to Sri Sri Mrinalini Mata. The memorial included the screening of some of the parts of the Memorial Service conducted in Los Angeles by SRF and offering red and white roses on the altar with Ma's picture. 

Several devotees felt uplifted and enjoyed the meditations during which they could dive deep, with undisturbed perseverance. Many devotees could dive into such depths, that it uplifted the vibrations of the room to such an extent that anybody entering the room could instantly feel it!
