About SRF Atlanta
We offer a peaceful environment for meditation.
The Atlanta Center is part of Self-Realization Fellowship, the international spiritual organization founded by Paramahansa Yogananda in 1920 to share India’s ancient science of Kriya Yoga and the universal truths underlying all religions. We offer a peaceful environment for meditation, spiritual study, and fellowship with others seeking God.

Paramahansa Yogananda
Paramahansa Yogananda (1893–1952), author of Autobiography of a Yogi, introduced millions to India’s ancient science of Kriya Yoga. His teachings offer a practical and universal approach to knowing God through direct inner experience.
Through his writings, meditations, and home-study lessons, Yogananda established a spiritual path accessible to all sincere seekers.
“Self-Realization Fellowship signifies fellowship with God through self-realization, and friendship with all truth-seeking souls.” –
Paramahansa Yogananda

Selections From Letters to the Prayer Council
Your loving prayers have helped to work miracles….My healing has been rapid, and my faith has been deepened immeasurably, for I have felt God’s loving, healing presence surrounding me.”
— D. B., Topanga, California
I want to tell you how deeply moved I am, and how grateful to the Prayer Council. In every single instance where I have known the one for whom you pray, I have noted that there has been a beneficial change in that person’s life. At first I was simply amazed at this; now my faith in God and in prayer has become much deeper. I know that God helps all who deeply and sincerely pray to Him.”
— R. H., Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania
“The father of one of our local SRF devotees recently became severely ill, and I was one of the medical doctors who treated him. It was only after we performed the healing technique that his health improved miraculously. I am deeply impressed, since I noted that the powerful strength of this technique works through us producing good effects beyond our conventional resources.”
— B. R., Amherst, Massachusetts
