About Yogananda Seva

SRF/YSS President Brother Chidananda has written about Yogananda Seva: “Under my direction, a small group of longtime lay disciples came together and eventually formed Yogananda Seva, a virtual community of Paramahansaji’s devotees from all over the world. These devotees undertook several ‘pilot programs’ to explore and develop new service opportunities for SRF/YSS members….In many ways, Yogananda Seva was an early-stage experiment (a highly successful one!) to develop new methods of networking digitally to better coordinate the services of our dedicated lay members around the globe.”

Yogananda Seva’s global networking methods and many of its volunteer programs were later integrated into the SRF/YSS Voluntary League of Disciples after it was launched in 2021.
