Welcome to Cosmic Airlines

At the Volunteers Meeting on the Saturday before Convocation 2005

, Brother Paramananda read the following announcement from “Cosmic Airlines”. This was written by a young volunteer. The story goes this way: The volunteer was trying on her blue and white "volunteer uniform" when her Dad commented that she looked like an Airlines stewardess. So she decided to write a “Cosmic Airlines Welcome Announcement”, and her Dad passed it on to Brother Paramananda to share with the Volunteers.Jai Guru!and Welcome to Cosmic Airlines.



Welcome to Cosmic Airlines. Our final destination is Cosmic Consciousness. Before arrival, it will be necessary to leave all your baggage behind. Be sure to catch your connections for the astral and causal planes when we arrive at Medulla-Lotus International. Our captain for all eternity is Paramahansa Yogananda. We will be cruising at an attitude of no fear.



We'll have a brief week-long stop off in Los Angeles, where the Guru will assist you during Convocation. Your flight attendants are the monks and nuns of Self-Realization Fellowship. Meditation techniques have been provided for your comfort and convenience.



You may have experienced turbulence entering the new Yuga. Floatation devices will be provided for you under your seat during group meditation. Please keep in the upright position. Please remain calm at all times. If the cabin should lose pressure, please enter samadhi. Remain upright in yoga posture and fasten your Kriya beads. Armrests are available. Should the plane need to make an emergency landing at any time, remember you are an immortal soul and your last thought in this life will carry on to the next world.



Prasad will be served. The main course is love, with devotion for dessert. During your journey you're sure to meet friends once more to be. We're the only airline where you receive 75% free bonus miles for every 25 you travel.

When you reach your final destination, ask one of the six beings in ochre uniform about a free return trip as a volunteer. Here at Cosmic Airlines we strive to get you OM faster.





Thank you for taking the high route to the Infinite. We hope your trip is Divine!
