Welcome to the Kansas City Meditation Group of SRF

Thank you for visiting the Web site for the Kansas City Meditation Group. We are affiliated with Self-Realization Fellowship, a worldwide nonprofit organization with international headquarters in Los Angeles, California.

Self-Realization Fellowship was founded in 1920 by Paramahansa Yogananda, who is widely revered as one of the preeminent spiritual figures of our time.

Through his writings, including his bestselling book Autobiography of a Yogi, Paramahansa Yogananda has introduced truth-seekers all over the world to India’s age-old philosophy of Yoga and its time-honored tradition of meditation. The universal teachings of Paramahansa Yogananda offer a science of spiritual exploration — one that enables us to create for ourselves spiritually harmonious lives and to contribute to a more compassionate and peaceful world.

The Fellowship is dedicated to promoting a greater understanding and harmony among the world’s various religions by teaching the fundamental principle of religion: how to commune personally with God.

We now have a parent / child room where parents with small children can listen to the main Reading services from 10 to 11:00 on Sunday mornings. We are also looking into providing a video feed of the service as well. More to come.

On Sunday, February 2nd following service we will host a Tea and Cookie Social. Please plan to stay and join in the fellowship and feel free to bring others who might be interested.
