The Self-Realization Fellowship (SRF) will take place from July 14 to 20, 2024, in Los Angeles, California. This annual event offers SRF members and newcomers an opportunity to immerse themselves in the teachings of Paramahansa Yogananda through classes, guided meditations, kirtan, and pilgrimages to various SRF locations. Participants can attend lectures on spiritual topics, group meditations, and enjoy the sense of community among fellow seekers.

“The Convocation brings together thousands of spiritual seekers from around the globe,” says Brother Chidananda, SRF’s president. “It is a profound week of renewal and inner communion with the divine.”

Attendees will experience a comprehensive schedule designed to deepen their spiritual practice. Highlights include inspirational talks by SRF monastics, classes on Yogananda’s teachings and special ceremonies. The program also features satsangas with Brother Chidananda, group meditations and virtual pilgrimage tours for online participants. This year, the convocation can be attended in person or virtually, ensuring accessibility for all who wish to participate. While the event is free of charge, donations are welcome to help cover the costs associated with hosting.

The Self-Realization Fellowship, founded by Paramahansa Yogananda in 1920, is dedicated to disseminating his teachings on the Kriya Yoga science of meditation. Yogananda’s vision was to foster a harmonious balance between Western technological advancement and Eastern spiritual wisdom.
