Self Realization Fellowship

You know when you are in a place and you feel that you are at the center on the Universe? that you are at the right place at the right time? That is this place the Self realization Fellowship Center. Throughout my life, I had belonged and participated in different churches. However, I always felt an empty space, like there was something else missing, not here. The way the service was done, the content of the speech was right on dot. Not like other churches where there is a continuous repetition of the same books reading, there was actually a great message tonight here. While in our daily lives we feed ourselves and expend a lot of time planning what and where to eat, we forget the most important meal of our lives, the soul food. This place offers that special thing to feed my soul. I have been reading and studying for a few years meditation and Paramahansa Yogananda, and I had a wish to go to LA the main center, luckily I found this place in NY. So close home, I really recommend every one to check it out. If you really want to experience a really true spiritual connection with God.
No saying that I am perfect, I just like to search for more deeper things that my soul can experience.
Yeah, I am a spiritual person, not religious, my spirit is free of labels. I only belong to God.

I’ve always heard and read about the benefits of mediation and have done it in the past in the privacy of my home.
Tonight, I attended a meditation session at the Self Realization Fellowship.
The Self Realization Fellowship was started in 1920 by Paramahansa Yogananda to teach methods of meditation and spiritual living. The center has a calendar of events and tonight’s meditation session was 90 minutes but you can arrive and leave as need be. They also have sessions that can last as long as 4 hours.
The place is like a house of worship where anyone and everyone of any faith or not is welcomed. Upon entering, there are rows of chairs to the left and right and at the front of the room are pictures of notable leaders including Jesus and Paramahansa Yogananda.
Meditation was interrupted and integrated with readings, song and affirmations.
There is no fee but donations are appreciated. After an hour, I had to leave but felt a sense of calmness and peace.
In a city that presents us with daily challenges, stress and expectations, it’s nice to know that you can enter a place like Self Realization Fellowship to take a step back and find inner peace even if just for a few minutes.
I highly recommend attending and am looking forward to my next visit.
