San Fernando SRF Meditation Group

San Fernando SRF Meditation Group Trinidad & Tobago's Official group of Self-Realization Fellowship founded by Paramahansa Yogananda. Observe silence when service has started

San Fernando SRF Meditation Group is the official Trinidad and Tobago chapter of Self-Realization Fellowship, an international Kriya Yoga organization founded by Paramahansa Yogananda, author of AUTOBIOGRAPHY OF A YOGI (www.yogananda.org; www.srf-tt.org)

Paramahansa Yogananda is the pioneering father of Yoga in the West. Yogananda has uplifted the lives of millions through his Self-Realization Fellowship teachings. Paramahansa Yogananda was born Mukunda Lal Ghosh on January 5, 1893, in Gorakhpur, India, into a devout and well-to-do Bengali family. From his earliest years, it was evident to those around him that the depth of his awareness and experience of the spiritual was far beyond the ordinary. Both his parents were disciples of Lahiri Mahasaya, the renowned master who was instrumental in reintroducing Kriya Yoga in modern India. When Yogananda was an infant in his mother’s arms, Lahiri Mahasaya blessed him and foretold: “Little mother, thy son will be a yogi. As a spiritual engine, he will carry many souls to God's kingdom.”

Paramahansa Yogananda wrote the bestselling spiritual classic, AUTOBIOGRAPHY OF A YOGI, and other books, which are on sale at our local group. For those interested in joining Self-Realization Fellowship and learning the techniques of Kriya Yoga, please sign up at https://yogananda.org/lessons

Play your role in the drama of this world, but do not be worried or fearful. The show will go on; your part is to make the best of each day. You are in school, and the Lord is the teacher. You have many lessons to learn, and He does not want you to fail in any of them. So no matter how many times you have faltered, if you keep on trying you are bound to succeed. If you have given up trying to change, then you yourself have decreed your own failure. Never cease striving to pass all tests, knowing that with each one you are earning the diploma of God's eternal pleasure.

"Whoever shall receive this message from me with an open heart shall not go away unfulfilled. His or her heart shall become a wonderful cup of realization that will gradually expand to receive the ocean of Infinity, that power of the eternal Spirit."

“I met my guru, Swami Sri Yukteswarji, I told him I wouldn't talk about God to others unless I knew Him. When I saw those visions I had experienced coming true, I knew that a Being was guiding me, and I began to see Him in all things.”

March 7, Mahasamadhi Day of Sri Paramahansa Yogananda

"I am proud that I was born in India. I am proud that we have a great Ambassador representing my spiritual India. I am very proud today. I often say :

Mortal fires may raze all her homes and golden paddy fields;
Yet to sleep on her ashes and dream immortality,
O India, I will be there!
God made the earth, and man made confining countries
And their fancy - frozen boundaries.
Where Ganges, woods, Himalayan caves, and men dream God -
I am hallowed, my body touched that Sod."

With these last words, from his poem, " My India", Paramahansaji slid to the floor, a beatific smile on his face. He had often said: "I do not wish to die in bed, but with my boots on, speaking of God and India".
