August 8th DFW-SRF Livestreaming of Convocation Opening
11:00 am-12:30 pm

We are happy to announce that on August 8th we will livestream the opening message of SRF President Brother Chidananda at 11:00 am after our 10:00-10:45 am Meditation service.

We hope you can join with us for this uplifting message at the beginning of the 2021 Convocation. For those of you who have attended Convocation will attest that coming together for these events raises the vibration considerably. Especially in our chapel where we have been deeply meditating together for 27 years.
Soul Evolution

"Why do we cry when our dear ones die? Because we sorrow for our own loss. If our loved ones leave us for training in better schools of life, we should rejoice instead of being selfishly sad, for we may keep them earthbound and hamper their progress by broadcasting our own selfish wills. The Lord is ever new, and by His infinite magic wand, Renewing Death, He keeps each created object, each living being ever manifesting, ever remodeling itself into a better vehicle for His inexhaustible expressions. Death comes to dutiful men and a promotion to a higher state; it comes to failures to give them another chance in a different environment. The life beautiful evolves as souls are trained in the factory of mighty death."
--Paramahansa Yogananda
 DFW-SRF Now Open With Meditation Service
10:00-11:00 am

Dear Friends,

Currently we are open each Sunday with a 10:00-11:00 am Meditation Service.

srfdallasfortworth.org will reflect changes as we phase in our services.

We are now set up for live streaming at our Chapel. We livestreamed the Babaji Commemoration Service at our Chapel on July 25th.

We will be live streaming the Convocation 2021 Opening Message with our SRF President Brother Chidananda on August 8th from 11:00-12:30pm, after our 10:00-10:45am Meditation Service. We welcome all who would like to be with us on this day to feel the joy of Convocation together.

Notice the 10:00-10:45am time for our service will be in effect for any service followed by a livestreamed event. 

Following are the details of how we conduct services under the Covid conditions:

Consistent with other groups and temples, we will offer a separate area for socially distanced seating for those who need or prefer it. As with SRF Temples and groups, we will continue to follow CDC guidelines by making masks optional for those who have been vaccinated, and asking those who have not been vaccinated to wear a mask. We respectfully request your cooperation in adhering to these guidelines for the safety of others.

We will not pass donation baskets but will place the baskets outside of the Chapel area. For safety we ask for adherence to social distance in the lines to the restrooms.

We very much look forward to seeing all of you who are able to attend now or in the near future.

In Divine Friendship,

Dallas Fort Worth Managing Council of Self-Realization Fellowship

DFW Chapel Fund

We are pleased to report the new DFW Chapel Fund total as of June 16th is $522,578.

We have a new name for our building fund. It will be DFW Chapel Fund. Our previous fund raising campaign was successfully reached in 2020 surpassing the goal amount of $450.000.

The building fund exists for the purpose of allowing our group to have a permanent Chapel when the time is right. We now have the task of selecting a new amount for a future goal. We realize that it will take more than our current building fund to obtain a new permanent Chapel. We would like to encourage those who can contribute, comfortably, to our building fund to do so. A donation of any amount will be gratefully accepted.

Our building fund is held in an account for us by Self-Realization Fellowship. 
Gifts to this fund are tax exempt. 

Thank you all for your continued generosity and sponsorship of the Dallas Fort Worth Group’s Chapel Project.
