The Silent Voice of Prayer
True prayer is an expression of the soul, an urge from the soul. It is a hunger for God that arises from within, expressing itself to Him ardently, silently. Vocalized prayers are wonderful only if the attention is on God, and if the words are a call to God out of the abundance of the soul's desire for Him.
When we are in tune with God, we will hear His voice: "I have loved thee through the ages; I love thee now; and I shall love thee until thou comest Home. Whether thou knowest it or not, I shall always love thee"
He speaks to us in silence, telling us to come Home

Dallas Fort Worth Meditation Group Services and Times
Group meditation is a castle that protects the new spiritual aspirants as well as the veteran meditators. Meditating together increases the degree of Self-realization of each member of the group by the law of invisible vibratory exchange of group magnetism. ~Paramahansa Yogananda

SRF Online How-to-Live Summer Program for Children and Teens
“Spiritual Friendships”
June 21 – 25, 2023
Registration Now Open
Self-Realization Fellowship is very pleased to announce that registration is now open for the 2023 online How-to-Live Summer Program for children and teens. This series of live, interactive classes conducted via Zoom will take place June 21 – 25 (see full schedule below).
The theme of this year’s program will be “Spiritual Friendships” — understanding true friendship and how to develop it into divine friendship. Children and teens will learn the principles of how to be a real friend to others as well as how to cultivate an ever-closer relationship with the One Friend behind all friends.
Through participation in the Energization Exercises, meditation, and engaging interactive activities that illustrate Paramahansa Yogananda’s teachings, children and teens will learn how spiritual friendships can lead to a deeper inner relationship with God.
Program Schedule
Summer Program classes are available for children and teens ages 7 – 17. Separate classes for girls and boys will be held simultaneously each day. Classes are taught only in English, but there are currently three class times to choose from to accommodate those living in various time zones.
June 21 – June 25, 2023:
· 6:00 – 8:00 a.m. (PDT)
· 9:00 – 11:00 a.m. (PDT)
· 3:00 – 5:00 p.m. (PDT)
To help make this program so widely accessible, the classes are currently being offered free of charge.
Register your child or teen today
If you have any questions, please email helpdesk@yogananda-srf.org or call 760-421-5151.
We hope that this online Summer Program will help children and teens improve their relationships with others and with the Divine, leading to truly satisfying inner and outer lives.
May God bless you and your family!

Saturday 3-Hour Meditation Service 9 am to 12 pm Noon
This service will begin with a prayer, inspirational reading and a chant. Periods of meditation will be broken on the hour with chanting. We will be practicing the SRF Healing Technique at the end of the service.
We have initiated a security measure of locking the front door at 10 minutes after the top of the hour. So each hour the front door will be unlocked for 10 minutes beginning at the top of the hour.
There will be a sign on the front door announcing this.
Please enter and exit, and use the rest rooms on the hour during chants so as not to disturb others.
