Self-Realization
Fellowship announces its 2025 World Convocation, a free global event featuring
a full week of yoga meditation, inspirational talks and devotional chanting.
The event takes place June 22 to 28 and is open to all, either in person at the
Westin Bonaventure Hotel, in Los Angeles, or online through a mobile or desktop
app. Registration is free at Convocation.Yogananda.org
This annual gathering
draws thousands of participants from around the world to immerse themselves in
the teachings of Paramahansa Yogananda, author of the spiritual classic Autobiography
of a Yogi and founder of the Self-Realization Fellowship. Daily sessions
will be led by monks and nuns and include topics such as Making Life a
Spiritual Adventure, The Creative Power of Initiative and Creating an Inner
Environment for Spiritual Progress. Participants can also attend guided
meditations, devotional chanting sessions and fellowship events.
Optional in-person pilgrimage tours will visit SRF’s historic sites in Southern California, including the SRF Hollywood Temple and Encinitas Ashram Center. These tours require a fee to cover transportation and refreshments.
Yogananda, who transitioned in 1952, is credited with introducing kriya yoga to the West. He described yoga thusly: “Uniting the soul with Spirit is Yoga—reunion with that great Happiness everyone is seeking. Isn’t this a wonderful definition? In the ever-new Bliss of Spirit, you are convinced that the joy you feel is greater than any other happiness, and nothing can get you down.”
