Did you know that you can have a personal experience of inner peace and joy through meditation? Join us for an evening with Self-Realization Fellowship monk Brother Keshavananda to explore how meditation can lead to the natural development of deep calmness and the awakening of spiritual consciousness that can transform all aspects of life.
Meditation connects us with our own divinity so we can express that divinity through our humanity. By using Paramahansa Yogananda’s teachings, each one of us has the potential to transcend both our self-limited thinking and these current times. We can all live a higher age life now.
This talk will include a guided meditation suitable for both newcomers and veteran meditators.
Paramahansa Yogananda (author of the spiritual classic Autobiography of a Yogi) founded Self-Realization Fellowship in 1920, at the behest of his line of renowned gurus, to teach worldwide the science of Kriya Yoga meditation — which enables a seeker to experience the underlying oneness that unites all people, all religions, and all life. Yogananda taught that a foundation for truly balanced and successful living comes from realization of the Divine within oneself through meditation.
Paramahansa Yogananda (1893 – 1952)
Brother Keshavananda (whose name is derived from Keshava — a name of Lord Krishna, signifying destroyer of delusion — and ananda, meaning bliss) has been a monk of Self-Realization Fellowship (SRF) for more than 50 years. He is a minister at the SRF Hollywood Temple in Los Angeles and has served in many capacities over the years including giving lectures on the teachings of Paramahansa Yogananda in cities throughout North and South America, Europe, and New Zealand.

Kriya Yoga is the highest method of God contact. In my own search for God I traveled all over India, and heard wisdom from the lips of a number of her greatest masters. I can therefore vouch for the fact that in Self-Realization teachings are the highest truths and scientific techniques given to mankind by God and the Great Ones.
Kriya Yoga initiation is a sacred step on one’s spiritual journey that involves a deeper commitment to the Self-Realization Fellowship spiritual path and the establishment of the guru-disciple relationship with Paramahansa Yogananda and his lineage of enlightened masters. Learn more about the Kriya Yoga path of meditation.
