Bhagavan Krishna
"This Self is never born nor does it ever perish: nor having come into existence will it again cease to be. It is birthless, eternal, changeless, ever-same (unaffected by the usual processes associated with time). It is not slain when the body is killed." Sri Bhagavan Krishna Chapter II, Verse 20 The Bhagavad Gita-God Talks With Arjuna Self-realization Fellowship Publishers |

Experience the Joy and Wisdom of Convocation From Anywhere in the World
We warmly invite you to participate via livestream in select events from the upcoming 2019 Self-Realization Fellowship World Convocation on a pay-per-view basis. Details are provided below.
For many, Convocation is the spiritual highlight of the year, providing the chance to immerse oneself in the inspiration and wisdom of Paramahansa Yogananda’s Kriya Yoga teachings. Unfortunately, making the journey to Los Angeles is not possible for everyone. But livestreaming now provides the wonderful opportunity for anyone from anywhere around the world to experience the joy, wisdom, and fellowship of Convocation.
We hope that you will be able to join the thousands of SRF members and friends around the world that will be tuning in for these events.
In divine friendship,

Guided Meditation Services
Remember: The first Saturday of each month will be a three hour Guided Meditation Service.
Guided Meditations offer a unique opportunity for our members to incorporate the benefits of a long meditation in a group setting which strengthens the vibrations for all participants. Many students find that Guided Meditations inspire them to perform the techniques more faithfully and with deeper concentration. To receive the most benefits of this service one is encouraged to attend all three hours.
Please enter and leave on the hour.
No details of the techniques will be given by the leader. If you wish to get the techniques of meditation as taught by Paramahansa Yogananda you must subscribe to the SRF Lessons. |
