*2024-07-20, version 3.2.0*

I use the app every day, it is very good structured and simple to use. I can’t wait until the SRF Lessons, the SRF videos on YouTube and this app are translated into Russian. I know a couple of people who read the Autobiography Of A Yogi in Russian and would love to follow these teachings and order the lessons, but they don’t speak English. I’m sure there are so many more and I really hope they will soon be able to enjoy this priceless gift of our Guruji Paramahansa Yogananda.
