On Sunday, June 28, 2020, Integral Yoga Global is hosting a “Family and Friends Virtual Memorial Service: Remembering and Honoring Our Loved Ones.” This is an online memorial service. When we lose a family member or friend, we want to honor their life in a way that shows love, respect, and recognition of how they have contributed to the welfare of others. Likewise, when a beloved pet has passed away, we also want to honor that animal family member and the love and joy that being has brought into our lives. In order to honor all of the family, friends, and animal family members who have passed away during the COVID-19 crisis, whether due directly to the virus or not, we hope you’ll participate in a virtual “Loved Ones Memorial Service” to invoke divine blessings upon the departed souls, assist them on their journey to the heavenly realms, and to bring comfort and peace to family and friends.
Please join us on June 28 for this service. Bring a candle for the candle lighting part of the service. If you want to include your loved one in the memorial, please email us at [email protected] no later than June 21 with their name and picture, their date of birth and passing, along with one or two positive qualities for which they will be remembered. We will publicly honor them during the service.
