Paramahansa Yogananda’s Promise to Self-Realization Fellowship/YSS devotees.
Paramahansa Yogananda’s promise to All SRF/YSS Devotees
Paramahansa Yogananda at Niagara Falls NY
“Of my own free will I give my time to serve you all. My reward is those souls who really love God and are in tune with this work of Self-Realization. I am not bound or attached to anything; any time I wish to walk out I can do so for I have no illusions of name and fame — which only means to be beautifully eulogized and then buried. Whoever comes, freely I give of my time and my realization. And if you would receive, receive it. I am only too glad to give to you, for I know how hard it is to be without the Infinite Beloved. No matter where I am, you will receive from me that friendship and help. The tiger of death is after you, and you must reach Home. If you value your souls, you will make the effort. Study the Self-Realization Lessons, Practice the techniques, Meditate deeply; and if you sincerely persist for seven years with intense concentration, you will have such spiritual satisfaction in your life that you will never forsake or forget this path. So don’t wait. I come only to tell you of that joy. And I ask nothing of you but that you tune in with me, so that I may give you that joy which is in me even as I talk — that joy of God.”………………..

Note to all seekers; I would caution you against believing many claims I have heard about various “gurus” who claim to be working for Yogananda in the cause of Kriya yoga, or those who say Yogananda works through them. It doesn’t work that way!
Yogananda has made it absolutely clear that He works only through SRF/YSS and its leader.
This fact is mentioned by Yogananda over 100 times in His writings and talks.
“Kriya Yoga is more than just a set of instructions.” Daya Mata said.
If you doubt this reread the quote above again and again!
<stronger> The Master said;
“Inherent in the SRF/YSS teachings and spiritual techniques are the help and blessings of SRF/YSS line of Gurus”
It is a built in aspect of taking these lessons from mother Center, then you will be in tune with Yoganandaji
and receive the blessings which come with Loyalty and attunement with His work in SRF/YSS
Other teachers and paths may tell you that it makes no difference whether or not you
get your Kriya Yoga instructions from them or from SRF/YSS. According to Yogananda such claims are absolutely false. Look at the history of SRF/YSS, this is a path with
proven results and many immaculate souls. Paramahansa Yogananda talks about the membership in Self-Realization Fellowship being the key to the link with the Great Masters of this holy path.
“Steadfastly you must follow the path of Self-Realization–the Greatest Order of Wisdom and Realization that was ever sent in the world.
It has the Highest Principles of Meditation balanced with activity. God has given you hunger–you cannot be idle. Those who think they come here only to Meditate–there mistaken because God wouldn’t of given them Hunger to work for. Everywhere people are working, but they forget God.
We work in ideal environment in our Centers–with God-Consciousness in our bosom. Only work for God and work the body until you are a Master. And then when you will Meditate, he will not nod–if you Master your body by Yoga practice and Kriya Yoga–then your body will be steady and a fit Temple of God. And remember, even if God doesn’t answer–He’s always behind your consciousness.”
by Paramahansa Yogananda talks, SRF Publishers LA USA…..
I make this declaration 2023;
Never before in human history has a prophet /savior of this stature left the world such a complete and detailed verifiable record of His sacred dispensation for mankind.
This coupled with the world witnessing in modern times His impeccable life and love for and service to humanity are extraordinary.
This uplifting and advanced inspiration to humanity was a major correction on many misunderstood religious concepts……..xFp

The Master said –
“I own nothing, yet I have everything.
Sometimes I have given away my last dollar.
But I was never left out.
God has always provided for me.
I am very rich in that respect, even though poor outside -poor, not by compulsion, but by my own willingness.
If I have my father with me, what riches more can I want? That is the teaching of the East.
That is what all Americans need to remember.
Behind the dollar, behind all your efforts, is that great power.
And if that power wishes you to have the right job,
the right anything, you will have it tomorrow,
if you are in tune with God.
Everything was given to me that way, and I gave it all away to the cause, that I not be a slave to anyone or anything.”
by Paramahansa Yogananda, From page 205 , Journey to Self-Realization, © Self-Realization Publishers LA USA
Yogananda said;
“I give all my responsibilities to Divine Mother.
But to maintain that attitude take great will.
Under all circumstances – health of sickness, riches
or poverty, sunshine of gray clouds, – your feeling
must remain unruffled. Even when you are in the
coal bin of suffering, you don’t wonder why the
Mother has placed you there. You have faith that
She knows best. Sometimes an apparent disaster
turns into a blessing for you.”
Paramahansa Yogananda , Page 258, JSR
Yogananda for the World rediscovered
The Wisdom of Yogananda’s Kriya Yoga
Yogananda said; “You have the power to destroy Karma,
You must guide your actions by wisdom,
not influences; be self-disciplined
and follow the wisdom guidance of a True Guru;
believe in your divine inheritance as a
Child of God made in His image; associate with good company,
such as coming to church regularly, and practice the techniques that
will give you the actual experience of God.”
“ Hear about the wisdom of Yoga,
equipped with which, O Arjuna, thou shalt shatter
the bonds of Karma.” from the Bhagavad Gita 11:39
“Here we teach you what to do in the silence of
meditation, especially the practice of Kriya Yoga,
so that you truly experience God communion.
This is why Self-Realization Fellowship/YSS
is reaching all over the world.
This path is sent by some of India’s greatest
masters to Christ-ianize the churches and show that the
real meaning religion is to realize God.
Each of you by example of your life must
be a messenger of this light. by Paramahansa Yogananda, From a talk in June 6, 1943

of the SELF-REALIZATION FELLOWSHIP
The Master Says, “Meditation is the science of God‑realization and the bringer of true light and happiness into our lives. It is the most practical science in the world. Most people would want to meditate if they understood its value and experienced its beneficial effects. The ultimate object of meditation is to attain conscious awareness of God – That one Reality that underlies this dream world, and the soul’s eternal oneness with Him. What achievement could be more purposeful and useful than to harness limited human faculties to the omnipresence and omnipotence of our Creator?”
God‑realization FROM MEDITATION bestows on the meditator the blessings of true LIGHT, PEACE, LOVE, JOY, POWER, AND WISDOM.
NOTE; FOR THOSE WHO HAVE NOT GAINED THE ABOVE RESULTS.
You may have lacked proper understanding, methodology, practice, motives, and Patience!
Read His wisdom again in SRF books and Lessons,
keep trying, and peace, love, and Joy will happen to you!
Healing and Light and Self-Realization will also be yours!
“Meditation utilizes concentration in its highest form.
Concentration consists in freeing the attention from distractions and in focusing it on any thought in which one may be interested.
Meditation is that special form of concentration in which the attention has been liberated from restlessness and is focused on God.
Meditation, therefore, is concentration used to know God….”
“The first proof of God’s presence is an ineffable peace.
This evolves into joy humanly inconceivable.
Once you have touched the Source of truth and life, all nature will respond to you.
“Finding God within, you will find Him without, in all people and all conditions.” Paramahansa Yogananda, Metaphysical Meditations, (c) SRF
Our London SRF Meditation Circle has weekly meditation services
based upon service readings format established by Paramahansa Yogananda.
Come and experience the Awareness expanding LIGHT , LOVE, & PEACE of proper group meditation.
We have been meeting here for many years and invite you
to Call for directions and details 226-977-3008
We are planning to have a mid-week Study group studying and meditating
on the inspiring writings of Paramahansa Yogananda. [2014]
Yogananda created the Self-Realization Fellowship/YSS as His sole and uniquely authorized non-sectarian NRM to publish and disseminate the great Babajis teachings of Kriya Yoga as taught to Him by the Great Ones – Lahiri Mahasaya and Swami Sri Yukteswar.
Some persons like to dispute which version of Kriya Yoga is most pure/complete.
The master said: “That same kriya Yoga that my Guru taught me, I have given you.”
The fact remains that Yogananda has left us a thoroughly proven system that will take one all the way to cosmic consciousness. That “kingdom of God ” within yourself.
You can test it all in the laboratory of your own life.
Once one becomes a student of SRF Lessons course, nothing else is really needed.
This course includes ongoing phone counseling to all SRF/YSS students of the Lessons Course…
There will be nothing accomplished by sitting at the feet of every new teacher who appears on the block.
Unless you know absolutely that the new one is greater than Yogananda. You don’t!
Everything one will ever need is in these SRF Lessons exactly as taught by Paramahansa Yogananda.
Self-Realization Fellowship & Yogananda are one.
It will take you to cosmic consciousness with the Masters help all along the way.
I experience the Guru’s help every day! And that does not even include all those other unique and inspiring revelations published by Self-Realization Fellowship -His only org.You can get a good idea who we are by reading Yogananda’s “Autobiography of a Yogi”(orange cover).
This SRF Publishers complete edition is also available in ebook format. [ 1946 editions are incomplete and out of date!]
Another major revelation shared by Paramahansa Yogananda are the Restoration of the True teachings and concommitance of the the Bible Gospels and the Bhagavad Gita from India. Read His “The Yoga of Jesus” for a better idea of what His message is. Also read, “Autobiography of a Yogi” (orange cover editions from Self-Realization Fellowship Publishers are the only up to date, complete, and accurate editions. ( now available on Kindle from Amazon & itunes ..) Avoid the 1946 edition.
Everything that is missing from the Gospels can be found in the holy Bhagavad Gita of India, and Yogananda’s SRF writings.
<strong style=”font-size: 16px; line-height: 189px;”>
The Master also authorized only SRF/YSS Mother Center in LA USA to approve of future qualified Kriya Yoga teachers/initiators and ministers on a yearly basis who would use Yogananda’s name and teachings to assist this great cause initiated by the great ones. Persons who contradict this and other wishes of Yogananda have their own ways.
SRF GROUP MEDITATION will enrich your spiritual life and was a most
important recommendation by Yogananda for all serious devotees.
Bring more peace and harmony into your personal life.
Enjoy the participation in our Self-Realization Fellowship community.
Group meditation will accelerate your self-transformative process.
You can learn more about advanced Kriya Yoga meditation course by
contacting SRF Mother Centre or visiting www.yogananda-srf.org
This web site will tell you much about Yogananda’s only organization
and offers free basic meditation instructions to all visitors…………
WHAT IS SELF-REALIZATION ?
Paramahansa Yogananda tells us that; “Self-Realization is the knowing-in body, mind and soul- that we are one with the omnipresence of God; that we do not have to pray that it come to us, that we are not merely near it at all times, but that God’s omnipresence is our omnipresence ; that we are just as much a part of Him now as we ever will be. ……
All we have to do is improve our knowing.”
SELF-REALIZATION FELLOWSHIP IS THE MOST RELIABLE, ACCURATE & COMPLETE SOURCE
FOR TEACHINGS AND PUBLICATIONS ABOUT PARAMAHANSA YOGANANDA and KRIYA YOGA.
SELF-REALIZATION FELLOWSHIP IS NOT exactly A NEW AGE TEACHING.
SRF/YSS is similar to “New thought ” teachings, plus the science of KRIYA YOGA
With great emphasis on meditation and balanced living.
Self-Realization Fellowship IS NOT A SUB GROUP OF ANY OTHER RELIGION.
It is non-sectarian! It is uniquely original and new! It is one of a kind!
I only wish that those who write about it would learn more about it first!
SELF-REALIZATION FELLOWSHIP is the only Kriya Yoga group recommended & founded by Paramahansa Yogananda.
SELF-REALIZATION FELLOWSHIP TEACHES THE COMPLETE KRIYA YOGA, including the higher Kriyas necessary to
reach the highest levels of Divine awareness, [ often called by many “the kingdom of heaven” or “Salvation”]
Taking Kriya Yoga initiation via Yogananda’s SRF/YSS will give you all you will ever need to reach cosmic consciousness,
as for those who imagine they have a better kriya yoga, or a so-called “original”KY etc, they have yet to learn there never was “only one way” for all. Even Lahiri Mahasaya gave differing initiations to different devotees according to their needs.
But if you want to work with Yogananda’s way, He is the last Guru and strongly recommended joining Self-Realization Fellowship, and taking the SRF Lessons course in order to gain all the benefits and blessings of these teachings.
MEDITATION AND STUDY GROUPS ARE OPEN TO ALL SINCERE SEEKERS / MEDITATORS.
Jesus the Christ Mahavatar Babaji Swami Sri Yukteswar /Paramahansa Yogananda/ Lahiri Mahasaya Bhagavan Krishna
These LIVING PROPHETS (Gurus) are the great examples that guide and protect the lives of all sincere Kriya Yoga devotees of the One Reality. These manifestations of the Divine Reality represent our main inspiration and sources of wisdom to awaken us from the worlds dream.
There Never Was – “ONLY ONE WAY.” The True picture of what ancient scriptures really mean can only be ascertained by looking at the whole picture of thousands of years of all this worlds spiritual history. Anything less will only keep one bound to dogmatism and the narrowest view of life.
True UNITY IN DIVERSITY only happens when one does not practice claims of exclusivism and abrogation of previous true scriptures. Group Meditation accelerates ones spiritual transformation and creates a healthy world community of freedom, light, and joy.
The prime message and teachings of the Great Ones is ….
“Change yourself First, then you will see clearly to enlighten others.” pp
We also honor the SAINTS AND SAGES OF ALL TRUE PATHS and do not abrogate their teachings.
This is a balanced non-sectarian spiritual path that will enhance your awareness
of the Divine regardless of your present affiliation.

Yogananda’s Great Legacy explained
Photos and quotes of Yogananda 1 cover autoyogi.gif
PYisLOVE says: 24 December 2012 re Amazon.com reply comment to ;
People should become aware that when a review says;
“This review is from: Autobiography of a Yogi
(Reprint of the Philosophical library 1946 First Edition) (Paperback)”
This and any blue covered out of date 1946 editions are all from
Crystal Clarity publishers [aka ananda], and are editions Paramahansa Yogananda
began changing as soon as it was published..do you know better than the Guru?
The orange covered edition which is now on kindle for $1.99 ARF Edition only [2014] is the
only complete up to date edition which clearly represents the final instructions
for this book by Yogananda himself. It is the only edition as Yogananda wanted it to be .
And if you don’t like cheap 5mp cameras! -[ you should really try the rebel series like T5i or 7d.]
This is like the difference with the earlier out of date 1946 editions and the newer orange Autobiography of a Yogi .
SRF Editions give you the full story, fullest quality, and the best for your money.
It is in fact Yogananda’s most advanced and complete edition of this book per his wishes!
I fully trust the quality and accuracy of SRF publishers on this book.
These were the people who truly understood these teachings
and remained loyal to Yogananda’s work since his passing in 1952.
Yogananda Himself made many changes to this book from the start…..
The whole thing has resulted in a spiritual masterpiece
that is changing the way people see spirituality in today’s world……
Practice being in the Divine Light.
LIVING IN THE DIVINE LIGHT ! Photo (c) PYislove xfp
THIS WEEKS AFFIRMATION;
“I am submerged in the Eternal Light,
it permeates every particle of my being.
I live in that Light.
The Divine Spirit fills me within and without.”
by Paramahansa Yogananda (c) SRF LA USA
Changing human behavior depends upon changing ones consciousness, which can be greatly effected by spiritual chanting with or without music. The mental repetition of and idea with feeling and concentration can aid in reshaping the world you live in both the inner and the outer world. Time and effort win the day!

The Master said; “A master bestows the divine experience of cosmic consciousness when his disciple, by meditation, has strengthened his mind to a degree where the vast vistas would not overwhelm him. The experience can never be given through one’s mere intellectual willingness or open- mindedness. Only adequate enlargement of consciousness by yoga practice and devotional bhakti can prepare the mind to absorb the liberating shock of omnipresence. It comes with a natural inevitability to the sincere devotee. His intense craving begins to pull at God with an irresistible force. “
Page 128, Autobiography of a Yogi [orange cover] ©Self-Realization Fellowship Publishers, LA USA.
Note; From then on, the disciple no longer depends upon the master and repeats this experience at his own leisure.
In the Guru -disciple relationship, the guru shows the devotee from the beginning how to achieve true freedom in every way.
Obedience to the Guru is never a “blind”experience. It is both scientific and clear in both reason and feelings.
[The God referred to here, is “That” One Reality “Brahman”.]
Wisdom of Paramahansa Yogananda
Wisdom in the Olive!
Paramahansa Yogananda said;
“Once a man gave some olives to another who had never seen olives, and said,
“These have a lot of oil in them. “This person cut open the fruit but could see no oil .
Then his friend showed him how to squeeze the olives in order to extract the oil from the pulp.
So it is with God. Everything in the universe is saturated with His presence – the twinkling of the stars,
the rose, the song of the bird, our minds. His being[reality] permeates everything, everywhere.
But one has to metaphorically “squeeze” God out of His material concealment.”
by Paramahansa Yogananda, page 54, from “the Yoga of Jesus,” SRF Publishers, LA USA.
Comment by PYilsove;;;;;;
This is just how tricky the mind is to us. We naturally imagine that to see what is in something you can just open it up.
Yet with microscopic substances or invisible energies this does not work so easily. We must now use other approaches, tools, and techniques.
This is where the one sided intellectual and the one sided emotional persons often fail. Patience and persistence are also needed at times.
These alone are not only unbalanced in approaches but they lack the proper tools and/or methodology and skills and openness of mind to reach accurate conclusions. That is because the ego keeps repeating that we already know what we don’t know.
In this case one had to squeeze and compress instead of dissecting and opening up to reveal the contents.
Here’s where the science of Yoga Meditation comes in –
it perfects and intensifies our powers of concentration while steadying the mind
to see a clearer image of anything we wish to understand. It gives us a balalnced view of our subject.
It also removes all that trauma we call sin. It takes us on an inward journey to reality and away from
the dream world of material relativity. We become sane and whole, and one with Reality/God consciousness/
Otherwise houses just get built on sand – a foundation that will eventually crumble.
Oh! Everything looks great Now!
Just wait till you learn more, especially about yourself……
Rediscovering Yogananda on Loyalty to SRF/YSS
“Always associate with those who are loyal to God and the Great Gurus and
you will find your life becoming the highest type of life. Be true to the
truth of Self-Realization teachings and you shall find your life filled
with the glory of Spirit, with the effulgence of the Almighty.”
—Paramahansa Yogananda, Lecture © SRF Publishers LA USA
Quotes and photos ; http://www.angelfire.com/hero/yogananda/greatparks2/
“Those who join us on this path of Self-realization are not connected to some printing press, but to a line of God-realized masters. God Himself, through them, overshadows this work. All who follow it sincerely, with devotion, will be brought to Him.” Paramahansa Yogananda
— Paramahansa Yogananda, Founder of Self-Realization Fellowship was clearly referring to His only organization (SRF/YSS)
when He says; “on this path of Self-Realization,” and “God Himself, through them, overshadows overshadows this work,”
Copy of a Handwritten note by Paramahansa Yogananda to a devotee;
In a handwritten note titled Kriya Yoga (click the WRITTEN link to see photos of handwriting), Paramahansaji expressed these thoughts to be conveyed to new initiates about the close association between KRIYA, SRF AND THE LINE OF GURUS:
“This is not the end of your relationship with SRF or Kriya Yoga—but the beginning.
Keep contact with headquarters &you will be linked with the Masters, by which salvation is reached quickly…Some take Kriya Yoga and become fully satisfied and forget all about the link of the masters—
they will never reach God.”
“Kriya Yoga is the fastest airplane route to God, but it has to be piloted by the gurus—SRF teachings regularly received.”
This is an excerpt from an interview with Sri Daya Mata by Saurabb Bhattacharya for “Life Positive,” a magazine in India, that was in the SRF Magazine, Fall 1999:
Q; Some people are claiming their ancestry to Sri Yukteswar and Lahiri Mahasaya, are teaching Kriya Yoga in the West. Please comment.
Daya Mata replies; “Receiving Kriya Yoga is more than obtaining a set of instructions; it means forming a sacred bond between one’s soul and the guru sent by God to lead one back to Him– for it is when practiced within the auspices of that holy relationship that Kriya can fully impart its blessings.”
And a person’s choice of guru is a completely individual matter between that devotee and God; it is not for anyone else to comment on. What we tell people is that if they wish to enter the guru-disciple relationship with Paramahansa Yogananda, then the YSS/SRF teaching is the way to do so. He promised that he and his paramgurus would guide and guard the spiritual progress of all who receive Kriya initiation through the society he himself established for this purpose, if they keep in tune through faithful practice of the teachings.” END>>>>
Notes by PYislove; This edition of Paramahansa Yogananda’s classic AUTOBIOGRAPHY OF A YOGI with the orange cover is published by Self-Realization Publishers. Yogananda’s publishers. It represents many updated changes that were done by Yogananda himself and his editors in chief according to His directions. It is the only complete and most accurate edition clearly representing the Master’s final visions for His great spiritual legacy. Self-Realization Fellowship Publishers are the sole heir and copyright owners authorized by Yogananda to publish and own his works. He established a publications council to approve of all completed works before publication.
The master also left written and verbal instructions stating that He wanted all this work centered from SRF Mother Center.
Self-Realization and Kriya Yoga link –
Paramahansa Yogananda’s prime wish/teaching ,
was for true Kriya Yoga devotees support and work
through His only org Self-Realization Fellowship / Yogoda Sat Sangha (India).
He said, “To be known by God is everything. Like Buddha who gave up everything,
live only for God, Self-Realization Fellowship, & Guru’s work,
& you will attain everlastingness in Heaven.”
[From a letter to James Lynne in 1935]
Also Read Page 410 Autobiography of a Yogi from SRF Publishers© (orange cover).
Many Kindle 1946 editions are out of date !
Yogananda also wrote to another devotee;” this is not the end of your relationship with
Self-realization Fellowship, but only the beginning…….stay in touch with mother center…..”
Nowhere did He suggest that the devotee would need to seek elsewhere for more lessons and methods,
for other teachers and guides etc. In master’s Lessons Course, writings, and examples we have it all!
Even His personal attention and blessings are always with us – He is a “Living Guru.”

Although I had in my possession a supply of “Ivermectin” pills, I decided to see if my immune system would heal the disease.
Seeing no improvement after 6 days i applied a simple inexpensive home remedy for 3 evenings which boosted my immune system and cleared my lungs, and left my immune system Stronger than before !!!!!!!!!
I just celebrated my 90th birthday several months ago.

Note . The opinions of this site are those of the authors
and may not necessarily represent the true statements
of any org unless specifically quoted and so named.
Meditation is the science of God‑realization which brings true light and happiness into our lives. It is the most practical lifestyle science in the world.
Whatever trauma or baggage is preventing you from reaching your full potential of a happy, successful and meaningful life, Self-Realization Fellowship Kriya Yoga, and attunement with this Guru, will remove those barriers to success.
Most people would want to meditate if they understood its value & experienced its beneficial effects.
The ultimate object of meditation is to attain conscious awareness of God [the real Self within] – That one Reality that underlies this dream world of relativity, and the soul’s eternal oneness with Him [ The real part of our being.]
What achievement could be more purposeful and useful than to
harness the unlimited human faculties of the omnipresence and omnipotence of our Creator?
God‑realization FROM MEDITATION bestows on the meditator
the blessings of true LIGHT, PEACE, LOVE, JOY, POWER, AND WISDOM.
NOTE;
FOR THOSE WHO HAVE NOT GAINED THE ABOVE RESULTS, you may have lacked proper study, understanding, methodology, practice, devotion, discipline, motives, patience, and Receptivity!
Don’t compare your life with any one else’s, we all start off from different levels with various skills, desires, challenges, and intentions.
As light brings illumination to darkness, so the Guru brings success to seeming failures.
A “Living Guru” works with or without being in a live physical body!
This will become evident as you follow these teachings with loyalty and devotion.
To the perfected Master the physical instrument is unnecessary once His work here is completed.
He then comes to the advancing devotee/seeker in vision or form when the time is right!
The techniques and practices of Kriya Yoga science are not complicated, but it is advanced, precise, and sophisticated, requiring and exactness of sustained regular serious practice as set up by the true God realized Master whose life is the first evidence of how effective His teaching is.
One should contact SRF /YSS for the advanced kriya yoga course lessons {for a nominal fee}
“Kriya Yoga Science of Meditation is more than a set of instructions,” said Daya Mata.
Instructions are available from many sources – but what will you really get?
Many have been duped by copy cat beginners….
Through your relationship with SRF/YSS comes the Masters great blessings and help, with the true legacy of Paramahansa Yogananda and the great ones. I will assure you from my lifetime of experience with SRF/YSS Lessons course and His blessings, that if you work at this and understand what you are doing,
you will never need anything else to reach true Cosmic Consciousness. To know the God within!
It is a most complete and compassionate scientific Spiritual Path for the ages.
Our London Yogananda Meditation Circle has weekly meditation services based upon service readings format established by Paramahansa Yogananda.
Come and experience the expanding Awareness, LIGHT , LOVE, & PEACE, and proper group meditation with us. It will change your life and successes. Please call 2269773008 for times and directions…

226-977-3008 for times, directions, and other meeting details,
We are planning to have a mid-week Study group studying and meditating the inspiring writings of Paramahansa Yogananda at a future date.
Yogananda tells all devotees to always work with
His own Self-Realization Fellowship/YSS centres.
“Practice (SRF/YSS) Kriya Yoga, and you will surely succeed on the spiritual path. That is my own experience. The liberating power of Kriya Yoga sunders the prison bars of karma. I have never found in East or West such a great technique as this. Everyone who is a follower of Kriya and of this path of Self-Realization Fellowship will go far ahead. Meditate and see the results in yourself…” .
….said Paramahansa Yogananda.
GROUP MEDITATION will enrich your spiritual life, and was a most
important recommendation by Yogananda for all serious YSS/SRF devotees.
Bring more peace and harmony into your personal life.
The meditation group is our community of Master’s SRF/YSS devotees world-wide. Your regular attendance will help you sustain a stronger personal practice of your spiritual sadhana.
Meeting together on a regular basis is one of the greatest aids in helping a new devotees personal growth and happiness. You will find that overcoming negative moods and addictions is easier.
By attending these sacred meetings you support Masters community and His great world wide work that is enhancing World Peace and the growth of Human consciousness.
Yogananda created the SRF/YSS as His sole and uniquely authorized non-sectarian NRM to publish and disseminate the great Babaji’s teachings of Kriya Yoga as taught to Him by the great ones – Lahiri Mahasaya and Swami Sri Yukteswar. Some persons like to dispute which version of Kriya is most pure, but the fact remains that Yogananda has left us a thoroughly proven system that will take one all the way to cosmic consciousness.
Everything one will ever need is in the Lessons course as taught by Paramahansa Yogananda through SRF These advanced spiritual SRF Lessons are accompanied by ongoing personal counseling and Kriya Yoga initiations.Another major revelation shared by Paramahansa Yogananda was the Restoration of the True teachings and concommitance of the the Bible Gospels and the Bhagavad Gita from India.
Read His “The Yoga of Jesus” and/or “The Yoga of the Bhagavad Gita” for a better idea of what His revelatory message is.
Also read, “Autobiography of a Yogi” (orange cover editions from SRF Publishers are the only up to date, complete, and accurate editions.) Now available on Kindle or from other publishers, be sure to buy the “SRF Publishers” complete edition!)
The Master also authorized SRF/YSS Mother Center president in LA USA to approve all future qualified Kriya Yoga teachers/initiators and ministers on a yearly basis who would use Yogananda’s name and teachings to assist this great cause initiated by the great ones.

WHAT IS SELF-REALIZATION ?
Paramahansa Yogananda tells us that;
“Self-Realization is the knowing-in body, mind and soul- that we are one with the omnipresence of God; that we do not have to pray that it come to us, that we are not merely near it at all times, but that God’s omnipresence is our omnipresence ; that we are just as much a part of Him now as we ever will be. All we have to do is improve our knowing.”
SELF-REALIZATION FELLOWSHIP /YSS is the most Authentic, RELIABLE, ACCURATE, & COMPLETE SOURCE FOR TEACHINGS AND PUBLICATIONS ABOUT PARAMAHANSA YOGANANDA and KRIYA YOGA LESSONS .
KRIYA YOGA is more than a set of instructions. Unless you take some preliminary training, unless you understand the value and necessity of Surrender, Unless you take this course as the master has set it up,
You will not gain what should be gained when practicing Kriya Yoga. You will think that the method does not really work that well – but the real problem will normally lie in your attitudes to the Guru. Loyalty and attunement are needed!
SELF-REALIZATION FELLOWSHIP/YSS is NOT simply A NEW AGE TEACHING. SRF/YSS is similar to “New thought ” teachings, plus the science of KRIYA YOGA and Devotion……………..
With great emphasis on meditation and drug free, healthy, balanced living.
And a remarkable unblemished progressive history.
Self-Realization Fellowship/YSS IS NOT A SUB GROUP OF ANY OTHER RELIGION.
It is non-sectarian! It is uniquely original and new! It is one of a kind!
I only wish that those who write about it would learn more about it first!
SELF-REALIZATION FELLOWSHIP / Yogoda Sat Sangha is the only Kriya Yoga group recommended & founded by Paramahansa Yogananda.
SELF-REALIZATION FELLOWSHIP /YSS TEACHES THE COMPLETE KRIYA YOGA, including the higher Kriyas necessary to reach the highest levels of Divine awareness, [ often called by many “the kingdom of heaven” or “Salvation”].
Taking Kriya Yoga initiation via Yogananda’s SRF/YSS will give you all you will ever need to reach Cosmic Consciousness. As for those who imagine they have a better kriya yoga, or a so-called “original “Kriya Yoga etc, they have yet to learn there never was “only one way” for all.
Even Lahiri Mahasaya gave differing initiations to different devotees according to their needs.
But if you want to work with Yogananda’s way via SRF/YSS, He is the last Guru and strongly recommended joining Self-Realization Fellowship, and taking the SRF Lessons course in order to gain all the benefits and blessings of these teachings.
These Living Masters give their direct help and protection to loyal SRF/YSS devotees.
They are more than a mediators between us and God. They are your goal of Union with reality.
MEDITATION AND STUDY GROUPS ARE OPEN TO ALL SINCERE SEEKERS / MEDITATORS.
These photos represent the true lineage of SRF/YSS.

These LIVING PROPHETS (Gurus) are the great examples that guide and protect the lives of all sincere Kriya Yoga devotees of the One Reality. The true Guru is more than a teacher, yet is now a mediator between you and God.
These manifestations of the Divine Reality represent our main inspiration and sources of wisdom to awaken us from the worlds dream.
There Never was “only one Lifetime “for each Soul,
[the higher self.! Read your scriptures !!!
There Never Was – “ONLY ONE WAY.”
There Never Was – “ONLY ONE SAVOIR ”
There Never Was- “ONLY ONE HOLY BOOK” called God’s word!
The above popular traps of some religions are holdovers from darker ages.
You must learn how to read your own book!
You must learn the true morality and depth of these teachings!
If one makes a full and proper study of the Christian Gospels and the Holy Bhagavad Gita., you may discover as I did ,
that although these two Avatars were thousands of years apart their teachings are exactly the same for the similar
levels of different cultures which were ready for this most advanced level of spirituality so many years apart.
Each prophet did not necessarily bring a more advanced teaching for all of humanity, but often in more primitive times for a particular cultures needs.
Now that the world is so fully intermixing, India is bringing a truly universal teaching for a global upgrade……again!
The True picture of what ancient scriptures really means can only be intuitively ascertained by looking at the whole picture of thousands of years of all this worlds spiritual history. Anything less will only keep one bound to dogmatism and the narrowest views of life.
No one religion can honestly claim to be the “only way” to live and find salvation from this world of relativity. The “only way” slogan is no more than con.
True UNITY IN DIVERSITY only happens when one does not practice claims of exclusivism and abrogation of previous true Dispensations/scriptures.
Group Meditation accelerates ones spiritual transformation and creates a healthy world community of freedom, light, joy, and peace.
The prime message and teachings of the Great Ones is ….
“Change yourself First, then you will see clearly to enlighten others.” pp
We also honor the SAINTS AND SAGES OF ALL TRUE PATHS and do not abrogate their esoteric teachings.
This is a balanced non-sectarian scientific spiritual path that will enhance your awareness of the Divine regardless of your present affiliation. Narrowness and dogmatism must be left behind!

The orange covered edition [by Self-Realization Fellowship Publishers]
which is now on kindle at $1.99 [2014], is the only complete edition
which clearly represents the final instructions for this SRF book
by Yogananda – as He wanted it.
It is the only up to date and complete edition available anywhere, just as Yogananda had it revised to be. His personally trained editors were spiritually advanced souls who fully understood Yogananda’s directions for His great mission to the world.
SRF Editions give you the full story, the best quality, for your money.
The best part of all this is that SRF edition comes with the Guru’s blessings and darshan.
I fully trust the quality and accuracy of SRF publishers on this book.
These were the people who truly understood these teachings
and remained loyal to Yogananda’s work since his passing in 1952.
Yogananda Himself made many changes to this book from the start…..
If he wanted it to be read as originally printed He wouldn’t have made any changes.
For persons who are “psychological antiques” it still remains a sacred cow!
The whole SRF editions with orange cover has resulted in a spiritual masterpiece
that is changing the way people see spirituality in the world……
Now available from SRF/YSS in over 60 Languages world wide.
