From the Spiritual Diary, May 25, Wisdom: The greatest thing you can do to cultivate true wisdom is to practice the consciousness of the world as a dream. If failure comes, say: "It is a dream." Then shut off the thought of failure from your mind. In the midst of negative conditions, practice "opposition" by thinking and acting in a positive, constructive way. - Paramahansa Yogananda, "Man's Eternal Quest"

Welcome to Greenfield Retreat

The Self-Realization Fellowship Greenfield Retreat in Front Royal, Virginia is a branch of Self-Realization Fellowship, a worldwide religious organization founded by Paramahansa Yogananda in 1920 to teach scientific techniques of meditation that will lead to a direct, personal relationship with God. These techniques are available in a series of lessons sent to your home from our International Headquarters in Los Angeles, California. See the About section for more information on SRF and Greenfield, including the days and times when Greenfield is open to visitors.

About Meditation

Paramahansa Yogananda said "Meditation is the ability to take the mind away from every object of distraction and put it upon God alone". See SRF's guidance for meditation, and the Learn to Meditate page on the Self-Realization Fellowship website.

Paramahansa Yogananda’s spiritual classic is available in our Bookroom, in bookstores, public libraries, and online.
