Self-Realization Fellowship-Austin Meditation Group

Self-Realization Fellowship-Austin Meditation Group Austin SRF is an affiliated branch of Self-Realization Fellowship, a non-profit religious organization with headquarters in Los Angeles, CA.

Self-Realization Fellowship was founded in 1920 by Paramahansa Yogananda for the purpose of dissemination of Kriya Yoga, a definite scientific technique for attaining direct personal experience of God. Through its worldwide service and teachings, Self-Realization Fellowship seeks to awaken greater understanding of the harmony underlying all true religions, and a fuller expression in this world of

the love that unites all people when they realize their oneness with God. "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

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”

As many of you have seen in the news, devastating wildfires broke out this week in Los Angeles, including in the Pacific Palisades area, where the Self-Realization Fellowship Lake Shrine is located.

We deeply appreciate the prayers and outpouring of support that we have received from all over the world. And our prayers and goodwill reach out to all our neighbors in the Pacific Palisades community who were affected.

We ask that you continue to pray for the well-being and safety of the firefighters, first responders, and everyone facing this ongoing and unprecedented situation.

Please know that all visitors, staff, and monastics were safely evacuated from the Lake Shrine property two days ago.

For the latest information about the SRF Lake Shrine, please visit our blog, where we are sharing updates as they become available: srfyoga.org/lake-shrine-update

Tonight! We will celebrate the mahasamadhi of Lahiri Mahasaya with an evening meditation and commemoration service. There will be an open meditation from 6:30–7:20 PM, followed by the commemoration service from 7:30-8:30 PM. Please bring a flower (your favorite if possible) as a symbol of devotion to God and the SRF Gurus. Flowers will be available in the foyer for devotees who are unable to bring one. Please do not smell the flower, and thus “take” for yourself a part of the gift meant for God. In addition, if you are able to do so, please bring a donation as a symbol of loyalty and faithfulness to the cause of Self Realization Fellowship. The donations will be sent to Mother Center for sharing these sacred teachings with other truth-seeking souls.

“At this time, the angels in the ether celebrate Christmas. An Infinite Light shone on the earth on that first Christmas day, and each year at this holy time the ether is filled with that Light. To honor Christ in meditation is the real celebration. May we start a new era on earth by celebrating spiritual Christmas everywhere! Tell your friends wherever you go, as long as you live, to pass a day in meditation during the Christmas season. Then within their hearts December 25 will be a real birth of Christ.” — Paramahansa Yogananda
