Welcome
Thank you for your interest in the Houston Center of Self-Realization Fellowship.
If you want to experience our services and the power of group meditation, you may attend the Sunday reading service at 11 a.m. It is a one-hour service that combines brief periods of prayer, chanting, meditation, readings from the Bible and Bhagavad Gita, and a reading taken from the writings of Paramahansa Yogananda. It is preceded by a meditation service from 10:00 to 10:45 a.m. You may meet ushers after the service and learn more about Self-Realization Fellowship as well as the Houston Center.
In addition, we also have a Sunday school program for the young children between the ages of 3-12 from 11 a.m. to 12 (noon). We also have a teen group (ages 13-18) on the first Sunday of every month from 11 a.m. to 12 (noon).
The best source of information for current events at the Houston Center is our weekly newsletter.
