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.”
