From the Spiritual Diary, November 26, Gratitude: We put forth our hands to receive God's gifts of life and sun and food and all the other things He bestows on us; but even as we receive them, we are unmindful of the Giver. If you have lovingly given presents to someone and then find out that he never thinks of you, how hurt you would feel! God feels that way, too. - 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.

Autobiography of a Yogi

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