Online Meditation The SRF Online Meditation center offers daily group meditations SRF Headquarters News and inspiration from Self-Realization Fellowship Maintaining our Hidden Gem: San Diego Temple Did you know that San Diego Temple was originally built in 1909? It was the third location that Paramahansa Yogananda founded, opening as a Self-Realization Fellowship Temple in 1943. Paramahansaji was personally involved in its early renovations and conducted services here for many years. It is vital to perform ongoing restoration and upgrades to keep these beautiful buildings and grounds in pristine condition. Master has left this temple in our care and we will do our best to honor his legacy! Learn More Sunday School and Youth Programs Our Sunday School classes (ages 3-12) are offered every Sunday morning from 10:45 a.m. to 12:00 noon. Our Teen classes (ages 13-18) also meet during this time. However, the Teen Program is currently on hiatus until more teenagers enroll and can attend on a regular basis. The Sunday School and Teen classes are based on the teachings of our founder, Paramahansa Yogananda. Our Sunday School and Teen classes encourage children and youth to lead happy, balanced lives by bringing God into their daily lives through kindness to others, right behavior, and developing a personal relationship with God through meditation. Each Sunday our teachers present aspects of our Guru’s how-to-live” principles in a way that all children can understand and enjoy. The spiritual topic of each class is brought to life with a variety of crafts, stories, discussions, games, plays and service projects. Through these activities and discussions, your child will explore how to apply these principles and ideas in their daily lives. Meditation is the cornerstone of these teachings, so children of all ages practice meditation in the SS classes, according to the receptivity of their age level. The classes also include prayer, chanting, the SRF Energization Exercises, and an offertory, where your child can give a small monetary offering.
