Self-Realization Fellowship monks and nuns share Yogananda's profound inspiration, and their own stories of applying his practical teachings on meditation, to encourage you to have a truly victorious life — transcending limitations, fear, and suffering — by awakening to the infinite power and joy of your real Self: the soul. 

The teachings of Paramahansa Yogananda (1893-1952) and his renowned line of gurus offer to people of all cultures, races, and creeds the means to free themselves from physical, mental, and spiritual inharmonies — a way of life of enduring happiness and all-round success. To facilitate the spread of his "how-to-live" teachings worldwide — including the spiritual principles and meditation techniques of Kriya Yoga — Yogananda founded Self-Realization Fellowship (SRF) in 1920 and established the headquarters for his work in Los Angeles, California, shortly thereafter. 

Join us for each new episode of "The Wisdom of Paramahansa Yogananda."“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.”   —Paramahansa Yogananda
