Giving love to all, feeling the love of God, seeing His presence in everyone... that is the way to live in this world.

ABOUT US
Welcome to the Princeton Meditation Group of Self-Realization Fellowship. We are composed of devoted members and friends of Self-Realization Fellowship, a worldwide non-profit religious organization with international headquarters in Los Angeles, California. Self-Realization Fellowship was founded in 1920 by Paramahansa Yogananda who traveled from India for the purpose of disseminating Kriya Yoga, a definite scientific technique for attaining direct personal experience with God.
Through its worldwide service and teachings, Self-Realization Fellowship seeks to awaken greater understanding of the harmony underlying all true religions, and a fuller expression in this world of the love that unites all people when they realize their oneness in God.
