Paramahansa Yogananda felt deeply for the welfare of children and took a lifelong interest in their all-around education. It was under Paramahansa Yogananda's direct guidance that the first Self-Realization Fellowship Sunday School was formed in the 1940s. Carrying on in this tradition, the SRF Greenfield Retreat offers Sunday School and Teen programs to provide children with a solid spiritual and ethical foundation on which to build throughout life. Emphasis is given to the practice of the science of meditation taught by Paramahansa Yogananda for personal experience of God. Children are shown how to develop moral character and the noble qualities exemplified in the Bible and the Bhagavad Gita, such as faith in God, respect, kindness, consideration for others, courage, and evenmindedness. These qualities then act as spiritual building blocks for the right development of a child's character and help to establish positive habits such as self-discipline, service to others, truthfulness, and the use of common sense — as countless participants over the decades have attested.
SRF Greenfield Sunday School (ages 4-12) and Teen classes (ages 13-18) are open to all children interested in learning about the SRF teachings and way of life; no prior experience with the SRF teachings is required. Please consult the calendar for specific class dates. Feel free to contact us for more information about the Sunday School and Teen programs.
