Sunday Afternoon Meditation Services are offered from 4 to 6 p.m. at Richmond Temple and include periods of prayer, chanting and silent meditation. Paramahansa Yogananda emphasized that the united devotion and concentration of many yoga devotees can powerfully increase the depth of each individual's meditation. Meditation Services provide opportunities to practice the methods of concentration and meditation taught in the Self-Realization Fellowship Lessons .
Meditations begin at the specified time stated in the Calendar. In order to preserve the peace of the meditation, please arrive on time and sit quietly.We hope you will be able to stay for the entire meditation but if you need to leave, please do so during the regularly scheduled periods of chanting. All are welcome to attend.
Prayer Service
At the close of our regular services, we practice the spiritual healing technique taught by Paramahansa Yogananda and pray for the physical, mental and spiritual healing of others and for world peace and harmony. For a full description of this technique, please read about the Self-Realization Fellowship Worldwide Prayer Circle at the Self-Realization Fellowship Website.
