Yogananda Seva Programs

The uplifting influence of Paramahansa Yogananda’s world mission is ever expanding. Through attunement and heartfelt service we can help manifest undreamed-of possibilities together.

Yogananda Seva will serve the worldwide family of SRF/YSS members and create new ways for devotees around the world to help advance our guru’s mission.

This will include supporting initiatives sponsored by SRF as well as new projects not formally affiliated with SRF but operating with its guidance and blessing.

SRF Online Center

Many Self-Realization Fellowship devotees in our worldwide spiritual family live far from an SRF group or center. Now all devotees, regardless of their location or circumstance, have the opportunity to join together in spiritual fellowship with other truth-seeking souls for group meditation and spiritual study.

Young Adult Sangha

Another project that we will be undertaking is a Young Adult Sangha. This is an emerging international community of young adults who feel the call for spiritual fellowship of young people following or interested in the teachings and meditation methods of Paramahansa Yogananda.

Possible Future Program Ideas Under Consideration

As we launch Yogananda Seva, we are pleased to share a glimpse of some of the many projects that are being explored for potential development in the future. (These are only in the formative concept stage; we will share more information as it develops.)

SRF Project Teams

As SRF grows and embarks on new projects around the world, Yogananda Seva can help by recruiting volunteers and contractors who wish to assist, and then helping to organize their efforts.

Travel Support

One idea being explored is an agency for SRF/YSS devotees and friends wishing to make pilgrimages and retreats, or travel with other members. Features may include one-stop access to all member guides and locations, group pricing on travel expenses, devotee home-share service, and relocation support for devotees moving to new locations.

Social Services

We plan to explore ways of helping SRF/YSS members in times of transition and supporting broader humanitarian efforts. These activities may include training, fundraising, outreach by skilled members.

Education For Youth and Adults

Another future project: creating and coordinating planning groups to explore the development of formal how-to-live educational programs for students of all ages. Gathering the content, exploring the best ways to initiate new programs, and getting organized to assist SRF to move this effort forward.

Enhancing Community

Fellowship is central to the practice of our Guru’s teachings. With increased connections from digital communications, together we will discover and develop many new ways for devotees to connect, experience community, and support one another’s lives.

Elder Programs

Vanaprastha is the stage in life when mature devotees begin stepping back from outer activities to focus more deeply on spiritual life. Ideas abound for new programs to support devotees at this stage, from retreats, classes, retirement programs, elder communities and more.

Tremendous good can be generated by tapping united hearts and minds around the world. This is the spirit of Yogananda Seva.
