“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
Meditation Services
Sunday meditations begin at 10 am with a short inspirational reading, a chant, and a 40 minute silent meditation.
Thursday evening meditations begin at 6 pm with an inspirational reading, a chant, a 50 minute silent meditation, and a break at 7 pm when you may arrive or depart. We resume at 7:10 pm with a chant, followed by a 40 minute meditation, and conclude with the SRF healing service.
It is best to arrive at the start of the meditations, if possible. Paramahansa Yogananda asked that those entering or leaving during a meditation service do so when there is chanting, as this preserves the silence in the room during the meditation periods.
Reading Services
Our 11 am Sunday reading / inspirational service consists of readings from the lectures and writings of Paramahansa Yogananda, combined with brief periods of chanting and meditation. Every other month we show a recorded inspirational service from an SRF monastic.
We recommend Sunday Reading Services as an excellent introduction to Self-Realization Fellowship and the teachings of Paramahansa Yogananda.
