ABOUT US

Our website is designed as a resource centre for anyone interested in the science of Kriya Yoga, meditation, Paramahansa Yogananda and attaining direct personal experience of God.

Our goal is to present the essence of Paramahansa Yogananda's teachings and that way help earnest truth-seekers. We published short excerpts from Yogananda's teachings published by Self-Realization Fellowship and notes from talks by SRF monastics.

Paramahansa Yogananda said the following to disciples and students of Self-Realization Fellowship at SRF headquarters in Los Angeles on December 23, 1950:

Love this truth—preach this truth. Do not be selfish. Those who are lazy cannot find God. Work for Him. Spread Self-Realization everywhere you go, and spread it with Spirit. Do the best you can, but find the best shelter from all harm in the Divine Bosom. (from Happiness Through Attunement with Christ)

The teachings of Paramahansa Yogananda are a priceless gift not only to his followers but to the all of humanity, and his wisdom need to be shared and be accessible as widely as possible, including the internet.

Our website is edited by Yanush, Yogananda's disciple and a member of Self-Realization Fellowship for more than 20 years. A few other dedicated SRF members also contribute to publishing of our website.

THE SPIRITUAL GOALS OF SELF-REALIZATION FELLOWSHIP

To disseminate among the nations a knowledge of definite scientific techniques for attaining direct personal experience of God.
To teach that the purpose of life is the evolution, through self-effort, of man’s limited mortal consciousness into God Consciousness; and to this end to establish Self-Realization Fellowship temples for God-communion throughout the world, and to encourage the establishment of individual temples of God in the homes and in the hearts of men.
To reveal the complete harmony and basic oneness of original Christianity as taught by Jesus Christ and original Yoga as taught by Bhagavan Krishna; and show that these principles of truth are the common scientific foundation of all true religions.
To point out the one divine highway to which all paths of true religious beliefs eventually lead: the highway of daily, scientific devotional meditation on God.
To liberate man from his threefold suffering: physical disease, mental inharmonies, and spiritual ignorance.
To encourage ‘plain living and high thinking’; and to spread a spirit of brotherhood among all peoples by teaching the eternal basis of their unity: kinship with God.
To demonstrate the superiority of mind over body, of soul over mind.
To overcome evil by good, sorrow by joy, cruelty by kindness, ignorance by wisdom.
To unite science and religion through realization of the unity of their underlying principles.
To advocate cultural and spiritual understanding between East and West, and the exchange of their finest distinctive features.
To serve mankind as one’s larger Self.
