"Self-realization is the knowing- in body, mind and soul- that we are one with the omnipresence of God; that we do not have to pray that it comes to us, that we aren't merely near it at all times, but that God's omnipresence is our omnipresence; that we are just as much a part of Him now as we ever will be. All we have to do is improve our knowing."
- Paramahansa Yogananda
Paramahansa Yogananda founded the Self-Realization Fellowship (SRF) in 1920 to disseminate among nations the ancient science of Kriya Yoga, an advanced system of meditation that leads to direct, personal experience of God. Today there are SRF centers and meditation groups across the world, providing opportunities to come together to practice the Self-realization techniques of meditation and the teachings of a God-illumined guru. The aim of Self-Realization Fellowship is communion with God and the sole purpose of group meditation is knowing God by the power of united concentration and meditation.
​
At Lansing Meditation Circle, no prior experience to meditation is necessary to attend. Everyone is welcome. We provide a quiet and peaceful environment. Our aim is to support each other to dive deeper into mediation and practice plain living and higher thinking.

"Group meditation is a castle that protects the new spiritual aspirants as well as the veteran meditators. Meditating together increases the degree of Self-realization of each member of the group by the law of invisible vibratory exchange of group magnetism."
-Paramahansa Yogananda

“The glory of God is great. He is real, and He can be found… Silently and surely, as you walk on the path of life, you must come to the realization that God is the only object, the only goal that will satisfy you, for in God lies the answer to every desire of your heart.”
