Resources on Our Site To Help You Cope With the Current World Situation

Connecting With the Inner Source of Protection

We in the ashrams of Paramahansa Yogananda are deeply concerned for the welfare of the SRF/YSS global spiritual family and for all humanity during the current difficult world situation. Above all, we want to encourage you to turn within to the unfailing Inner Source of protection and reassurance. Here are some online resources to aid you in your efforts to do just that at this or any other time of need.

SRF Online Meditation Center

The SRF Online Meditation Center offers everyone, no matter where you are located in the world, the opportunity to experience live group meditation just like those conducted in SRF’s temples and meditation groups. SRF monastics conduct some of the meditations, and longtime SRF lay members conduct the rest. We invite you to join the thousands that are participating in this powerful means of connecting with the Divine and with the worldwide spiritual family of devotees and seekers. Meditations are offered in several languages, listed on the weekly schedule of events.

Check back each weekend for the latest video, or subscribe to our Newsletter to be notified when new programs are posted.
