Our group consists of members and friends of Self-Realization Fellowship (SRF), a worldwide spiritual organization dedicated to meditation and the teachings of Paramahansa Yogananda.
Paramahansa Yogananda founded SRF in 1920, to make available the universal teachings of Kriya Yoga, a sacred spiritual science originating millenniums ago in India.
Paramahansa Yogananda
Paramahansa Yogananda (1893–1952) is widely regarded as the Father of Yoga in the West. Author of the spiritual classic Autobiography of a Yogi, he came to America from India in 1920 and founded Self-Realization Fellowship to make available the universal science of Kriya Yoga meditation.
For more than thirty years he taught the underlying unity of all true religions and the art of balanced living in body, mind, and soul — a legacy that continues to inspire millions of truth-seekers around the world.
