Self-Realization Fellowship Lessons

The SRF Lessons contain personal guidance and instruction from Paramahansa Yogananda... a comprehensive home–study series on the science of meditation and the art of spiritual living.

"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

During Paramahansa Yogananda's lecture tours, he often remained in one city for several weeks to conduct classes for those interested in a more in-depth study. The personal instruction he gave was later compiled, at his direction, into a special series of Self-Realization Fellowship Lessons. These are unique among his published writings in that they give his step-by-step instructions in the Kriya Yoga science of meditation.

The simple yet highly effective techniques he taught enable one to recharge the body with life energy, to awaken the mind's unlimited power, and to experience a deepening awareness of the Divine. The Lessons also cover the whole range of subjects presented in his classes—conveying his guidance for attaining balanced physical, mental, and spiritual well-being.
