FIRST TIME VISITORS

 

​

 

If you are new to Self-Realization Fellowship and want to know more about meditation, you may find our Introduction to Meditation classes helpful. These are held on the 1st and 3rd Thursday evenings of each month. Please see our schedule for more details.

 

Sunday morning reading services are also a good introduction to the SRF teachings. On Sundays we start with a 50-minute meditation at 10 AM, then a brief 10-minute intermission followed by the reading service at 11 AM. You can attend either or both. The reading service combines brief periods of prayer, chanting, meditation, and readings from the works of Paramahansa Yogananda.  

​

For more information on the deeper teachings of meditation, leading to the advanced Kriya Yoga meditation technique described in Autobiography of a Yogi, you are invited to apply for the Self-Realization Fellowship Lessons. The SRF home study series was compiled under Paramahansa Yogananda's direction from his classes and lectures. It offers all sincere seekers of truth, regardless of religious affiliation, step-by-step instruction in the ancient yoga techniques of concentration, meditation, and energizing the body with life force. Providing comprehensive guidance, the Lessons also feature Paramahansa Yogananda's practical "how-to-live" teachings for all aspects of attaining balanced physical, mental, and spiritual wellbeing.
