The Atlanta branch of the Self-Realization Fellowship—also referred to as SRF Atlanta—will welcome two monks from SRF international headquarters in Los Angeles, Brother Nakulananda and Brother Govindananda, September 15 through 17. SRF is a spiritual organization with the purpose of spreading Kriya Yoga and other techniques for achieving a direct personal experience of God.
The monks will be in Atlanta to give inspirational talks, perform a Kriya Yoga initiation and conduct meditation technique classes. Step-by-step instructions in meditation, concentration and energization, which are the building blocks to the spiritual science of Kriya Yoga, will be offered. The monks will also discuss the journey of discovering the peace, joy and wisdom of the soul through the teachings of Paramahansa Yogananda, the center’s founder, author of The Autobiography of a Yogi and the subject of the film Awake: the Life of Yogananda.
Several events will be held at SRF Atlanta, located at 4000 King Springs Road in Smyrna. “Meditation, Finding Inner Peace and Joy,” a free public lecture on the Kriya Yoga teachings of Paramahansa Yogananda, will be presented on September 15 at 8 pm. On September 16, meditation technique classes will be featured from 9 am. to noon. There will be an opportunity to register for the technique classes the evening of September 15 and the morning of September 16, beginning at 8 am. A Kriya Yoga initiation ceremony will be conducted September 16 from 5:30 p.m. to 8:30 pm; preregistration is required for this ceremony. All are invited to attend The Sunday Services September 17, 10 am Meditation Service and 11 am Inspiration Service.
