Self Realization Fellowship: Monthly Community Meditation

Sunday, March 1st | 9:00am-10:30am | True Nature Meditation Room
Free to attend, No registration just come as you are!

All are welcome to attend. The monthly SRF Community Meditation offering is based on the teachings of Paramahansa Yogananda.

Through the steady practice of yoga meditation, it is possible to experience a deepening sense of peace, love, compassion, and joy. As inner transformation unfolds, its positive influence naturally extends outward—first to family and community, and eventually to the world at large.

“Reform yourself, and you will reform thousands.” — Paramahansa Yogananda

The benefits of the scientific methods of yoga he taught do not depend on belief, but arise from direct personal experience of the Divine.
