Register Now for a Week of Spiritual Renewal and Recharging! 
June 22 – 28

In Los Angeles and Online 

An Immersion in the Teachings of Paramahansa Yogananda 

Join us — in Los Angeles or online — for the SRF World Convocation, a weeklong program of classes on Paramahansa Yogananda’s “how-to-live” teachings and meditation techniques, guided group meditations and kirtans (devotional chanting), pilgrimage tours to the ashrams where the great Guru lived and communed with the Divine, and more. During the week of Convocation, SRF monastics will also be visiting SRF centers and groups in Asia, Europe, North America, and South America. 

Please visit the Convocation website to view the full 2025 SRF World Convocation schedule and to register. 

Convocation Offered Free of Charge — Donations Welcome! 

We will be offering attendance at this year’s Convocation free of charge to ensure that all who wish to participate can do so. 

While the costs associated with hosting Convocation are significant, we are confident that, through the generosity of those SRF members and friends who are able to help, there will be sufficient support to make this possible. We welcome and are deeply grateful for all donations, which can be made at the time of registration and during the event.
 

Lake Shrine Pilgrimage Tour — Not Currently Available 

As many of you know, earlier this year there was a devastating wildfire near the SRF Lake Shrine in Pacific Palisades, California. Although all of the legacy structures at the Lake Shrine are safe and intact, this sacred pilgrimage site continues to remain temporarily closed as we follow the protocols for testing, cleaning, and other required procedures in order to reopen.

In light of this, we are currently unable to offer an in-person pilgrimage tour to the SRF Lake Shrine during the 2025 Convocation. But we will keep you updated in the months ahead to let you know if circumstances change such that we are able to offer this pilgrimage tour during Convocation.
 

Subtitling and Guided Meditations in Multiple Languages

All Convocation classes and main events will be conducted in English. Subtitles in various languages will be added to the videos of the classes as soon as possible after they are streamed. Additionally, online guided meditations with technique reviews (for SRF/YSS Lessons students) will be conducted in German, Italian, Japanese, Portuguese, and Spanish.

We hope you can join us for this transformative week of inspiring classes, events, and fellowship with thousands of spiritual seekers from around the world!
