A Worldwide Community Connected by Divine Friendship
Self-Realization Fellowship, founded by Paramahansa Yogananda (author of the spiritual classic Autobiography of a Yogi) offers a variety of programs and activities for young adults (ages 18 – 40) — in person at SRF locations around the world, as well as online. We invite you to join our community of young adults who come together to explore and practice Paramahansa Yogananda’s yoga meditation teachings and “how-to-live" principles in a spirit of divine friendship.
Being able to connect with other young adults and SRF monastics from around the world on topics so relevant to my life is truly invaluable. The spirit of Yogananda was so palpable — my wife and I left the meeting wonderfully uplifted and grateful!

Connect Online With Young Adults From Around the World
The SRF Young Adult Sangha (sangha is Sanskrit for “gathering” or “fellowship”) is a global community that offers opportunities for young adults to connect, share inspiration, develop friendships, and strengthen our spiritual practices.
Monthly online gatherings are usually held on the third Saturday of each month. Each event, held via Zoom, focuses on a particular aspect of Paramahansa Yogananda’s teachings and includes time for meditation and discussion. Examples of past topics include: “Mindful Living: Connecting With the Present,” “Making the Right Decisions for Success in Life,” “Harmonizing Work and Spiritual Life,” and “Developing Dynamic Willpower.”
For more information on Young Adult Sangha events and how to join them, as well as other ways to connect with the community, please join our email list.
