"As a rope formed of many fibers is stronger than a single strand, so members of a group, by uniting their efforts strengthen their meditations."

ALL ARE WELCOME!
​
Welcome to the Ashland Meditation Group, a branch of Self-Realization Fellowship, which serves families and friends in the greater Southern Oregon area through weekly devotional and meditation services. Self-Realization Fellowship (SRF) is a worldwide, non-profit religious organization founded by Paramahansa Yogananda in 1920 to teach scientific techniques of meditation that lead to a direct, personal experience of God. Our group is open to the public for services and special activities.
​​
The meditation techniques taught by SRF are available in both paper and electronic formats from our international headquarters in Los Angeles, California. These lessons contain techniques of recharging the body, concentration, meditation, and the higher technique of Kriya Yoga, as well as instructions on how to live a balanced material and spiritual life.
​
As an introduction, we suggest that you read Paramahansa Yogananda’s Autobiography of a Yogi. Copies of this spiritual classic are widely available and can also be purchased from SRF's online book store. To purchase a copy locally, please visit our Ashland SRF book room. ​​
An excerpt from the audio recording “In the Glory of the Spirit” by Paramahansa Yogananda. Author of the best-selling spiritual classic Autobiography of a Yogi, this beloved world teacher came to America in 1920 from his native India, and was the first great master of yoga to live and teach in the West for an extended period (more than 30 years). He is now widely recognized as the Father of Yoga in the West. He founded Self-Realization Fellowship (1920) and Yogoda Satsanga Society of India (1917), which continue to carry on his spiritual legacy worldwide under the leadership of Brother Chidananda, president and spiritual head of SRF/YSS.
