This month marks the 100th anniversary of Paramahansa Yogananda’s founding of the International Headquarters of Self-Realization Fellowship — lovingly referred to as the Mother Center — atop Mount Washington in Los Angeles on October 25, 1925. Paramahansaji established this location as a training center for SRF monastics, and the administrative center for disseminating worldwide the ancient science of Kriya Yoga.
During a service held at the Mother Center in 1936, he prayed: “Heavenly Father….bless us that through our love for Thee we make Mt. Washington a heaven on earth…. May a portable heaven be established in the breast of each one who comes here to seek Thee.”

Such an exceptional anniversary. My beloved boyfriend Jaehee encouraged me to watch the beautiful ceremony in South Korea.
I feel so blessed and comforted. Please, beloved Guru, please guide us on our way to more selfrealization, support us in this sense and by your love on our way to overcome all obstacles. With your guidance we will succeed when going forward. I love you, dearest Gutuji.
Thank you Guruji, thank you Beloved God
We are blessed to have found Guruji through my Mother Renu Mishra. Jai Guru and Blessing to all.
I, my wife and my son are so blessed to have this joyous moment of celebration due to the wish of our beloved Guruji and great Gurus. Jay Guruji.
Blessed to have begun our lessons and joined Convocation this year. Now moving thousands of miles to be near the Headquarters at the time of the 100th anniversary. Jai Guru!
Jai Guru! Thank you so much! I am looking forward to being ‘transported’ into the Chapel at Mother Center ! How fortunate we are!
My wife and I are greatly anticipating this joyous event! Jai Guru!
When I touch “learn more and join” nothing happens. I imagine this will be activated closer to the event.
Thank you for creating this memorable celebration! Jai Guru.
