Welcome to the Seattle Center of SRF

Welcome to the Seattle Center of Self-Realization Fellowship which serves families and friends in the greater Seattle area through weekly devotional and meditation services. The Seattle Center is a branch of Self-Realization Fellowship, a worldwide, non-profit religious organization founded by Paramahansa Yogananda in 1920 to teach scientific techniques of meditation that lead to a direct, personal experience of God. The Center is open to the public for services and special activities. You are invited to attend our services and welcome to stop by our information table to find out more about our activities.

Learn to Meditate

The meditation techniques taught by Paramahansa Yogananda are available through the SRF headquarters as home study lessons.

Autobiography of a Yogi

Paramahansa Yogananda’s spiritual classic, Autobiography of a Yogi, is available in our Bookroom, in bookstores, public libraries, and is now available online.

On Friday July 25, we will have a commemorative meditation and service for Mahavatar Babaji. The commemorative service will begin at 8 p.m. and will be preceded by a silent meditation from 7 to 7:45 p.m. During the meditation, ushers will allow late arrivals to enter quietly, preserving the sacred atmosphere. Those attending the commemorative service are asked to bring a flower and a monetary offering in an envelope as a symbol of their love and loyalty. Flowers will be available at the Center as well.

On Saturday, July 26, we will have a 6-hour Kirtan meditation from 10 a.m. – 4 p.m. for Mahavatar Babaji. Group Energization Exercises will be practiced at 9:40 a.m. and there will be a 30-minute break at 1 p.m.
