Self-Realization Fellowship
“Self-realization is the knowing — in body, mind, and soul — that we are one with the omnipresence of God . . . .”
- Parmahansa Yogananda
Paramahansa Yogananda founded Self-Realization Fellowship in 1920 for the purpose of disseminating Kriya Yoga, a definite scientific technique for attaining direct personal experience of God. Through his writings, including his spiritual classic, Autobiography of a Yogi, Paramahansa Yogananda has introduced truth-seekers all over the world to India’s age-old philosophy of Yoga and its time-honored tradition of meditation.
These universal teachings offer a science of spiritual exploration – one that enables us to create for ourselves spiritually harmonious lives and to contribute to a more compassionate and peaceful world. The Fellowship is dedicated to promoting a greater understanding and harmony among the world’s religions by teaching the fundamental principle of religion: how to commune with God.
