From 2014 New Year's Message From Sri Mrinalini Mata, President of Self-Realization Fellowship:

"This year marks the hundredth birth anniversary of our beloved Sri Daya Mata on January 31st. Her divine life has touched us all, and though her soul is free in the blissful realms of light and joy beyond this world, the love and care she showered on Paramahansa Yogananda's spiritual family in both East and West is with us still. Gurudeva's words, 'Only love can take my place,' found full expression in her and will always resonate in our consciousness through her beautiful example."
