🙏 Prayers and Healing 🙏

As we keep in our hearts all those affected by the devastating floods and mudslides in Nepal and Tibet — and all who are in need of comfort, strength, and healing — we invite you to join Self-Realization Fellowship’s online prayer service, an activity of the Worldwide Prayer Circle.

Prayer services are held every Thursday at 8:00 a.m. and 8:00 p.m. (Pacific Time) and include a brief meditation, a period of silent prayer for others and for world peace, and the practice of Paramahansa Yogananda’s healing technique.

Your prayers for others support the efforts of the SRF Prayer Council of monks and nuns, who pray daily for world peace and for all in need of healing for body, mind, and soul.

Together, we can send powerful vibrations of healing and upliftment to a world in need.

You can participate in an online SRF prayer service by visiting our event calendar: Yogananda.org/omc

Please bring a flower to offer as a symbol of your devotion to God and Gurus. The devotee should not smell the flower and thus take a part of the gift meant for God.

Austin commemoration service from 7:30-8:30 pm Friday march 7 🙏🏼

Paramahansa Yogananda entered mahasamadhi (a yogi’s final conscious exit from the body) on March 7, 1952, at the conclusion of a talk he gave during a banquet honoring India’s ambassador to the United States at the Biltmore Hotel in downtown Los Angeles.

“The ideal of love for God and service to humanity found full expression in the life of Paramahansa Yogananda. He came on earth for the purpose of spiritually uniting East and West, to awaken divine yearnings in all hearts. He was practical in his methods; his teachings and life bespoke the wisdom of a true man of God. He carried the maxim of ‘a sound mind in a sound body’ a step further; emphasizing, for the attainment of lasting happiness, the necessity for conscious soul communion with the Infinite Spirit.” — From “Paramahansa Yogananda: In Memoriam”
