How Meditation Can Transform Your Life

“How Meditation Can Transform Your Life” is the theme of a free, public talk on the yoga teachings of Paramahansa Yogananda (Autobiography of a Yogi).

Brother Jayananda, a monk of Self-Realization Fellowship for more than 40 years, will offer an introduction to India’s timeless Yoga science, providing practical ways to cultivate greater happiness in everyday life.

“Yogananda said that, with the practice of meditation, one can learn ‘to carry a portable paradise within’ — meaning that as we go through life, we can consciously experience a peace and joy within our beings no matter where we are or what we are doing. Could there be any greater gift or talent that we could attain in life?” says Brother Jayananda.

The evening will include a guided meditation for attendees to experience the benefits of meditation for themselves.

All are welcome — no previous meditation experience required. For more information about the free public talk and guided meditation, please visit yogananda.org/bostontour or email: boston.srf@gmail.com

Boston Center of Self-Realization Fellowship

Boston Center of Self-Realization Fellowship was founded in 1920 by Paramahansa Yogananda in 1920. He came to Boston to share India's spiritual legacy of yoga meditation with the West, and devoted his life to this work. Paramahansaji's timeless message reveals the truth of the underlying unity of all religions, as varying expressions of God. His Autobiography of a Yogi, translated into over 50 languages, has become a spiritual classic. Today Paramahansaji's message remains a beacon for people of all nations, all races and all religions who seek to share the practice of deep meditation and spiritual study together. The Boston Center is a member of the worldwide Self-Realization Fellowship with temples, centers and groups in 175 countries and the Yogoda Satsanga Society of India (YSS).
