Ambition

"We cannot live happily by spiritual sustenance alone nor by material prosperity alone. It is only by having ambition and by crowning that ambition with the idea of service to others, either by helping them individually or by working for some great cause, that you will find a spiritual reason for making money for yourself and others. To help others to help themselves also spiritualizes ambition. An Almighty Power has linked us all together. Whenever you help others you are helping yourself."
Paramahansa Yogananda
The Master's Words On Spiritual Footprints

"It is God who has brought us together. It is the greatest opportunity that anyone could have--to be able to serve God. When we will be gone from this earth, many souls shall come and feel our vibrations here. Whenever we leave good vibrations behind, we leave a part of our eternal lives...

So shall we leave "footprints in the sands of time"--spiritual footprints of good vibrations, which those who come after us will feel. If we increase those vibrations by our love for God and service to His work, think how wonderful will be what we leave behind us."

Self-Realization Fellowship Lessons 

The SRF Lessons are a transmission of sacred knowledge that will uplift and transform all aspects of your life: a progressive, home-study program teaching meditation techniques and the essence of spirituality handed down through a renowned lineage of yoga masters — Mahavatar Babaji, Lahiri Mahasaya, Swami Sri Yukteswar, and Paramahansa Yogananda — and available to you.

The new supplemental lessons are available to students who have already completed the basic series of SRF lessons.

SRF wants you to know that this immersion in Yogananda’s teachings continues to be available to you — whether you are enjoying what Convocation offers again or are experiencing it for the first time.

Please note that the Convocation classes on the SRF meditation techniques can only be viewed by students of the SRF Lessons.  Learn more about the SRF Lessons here.

May the 2020 Convocation be for you a source of continuing inspiration and lasting blessings.

In divine friendship,

Weekly Local Group Participation Events
Encouraging Our Members to Stay Involved At This Time

During this unusual time of necessary social distancing, we want to ensure we are reaching all of the Dallas Fort Worth Self-Realization Fellowship devotees to make you aware of, and encourage you, to make use of the methods of fellowship that we do have available. Master considered divine friendship among devotees and friends very important, and we want to engender as much of a sense of support and fellowship as we are able during these times.

With the goal of maintaining divine fellowship while our Chapel remains closed, our group now has informal Zoom Fellowship meetings most Sundays at 11am. We try to have one special meeting a month more organized with a theme. The meetings are well attended and have a focus on compassionate harmony among the participants, uplifting stories, or short readings from Self-Realization Fellowship publications, as well as offering support to those in need. If you would like to be included in these Zoom meetings please email to: connect@srfdallasfortworth.org


We also have Zoom meetings with a weekly informal Kirtan on Saturdays at  9-10:30 am. If you would like to be included in these Zoom meetings, please email to: connect@srfdallasfortworth.org
You will be emailed a link to join us with Zoom.

And we have one more opportunity if you would like to join us. We have an informal WhatsApp group started by members of our Managing Council for our DFW-SRF Meditation Group. To join, please install WhatsApp on your device, and use the link: https://chat.whatsapp.com/ItsAFW1n7DZ1TIVe6GCFhJ. We hope you will join us in this fellowship.
