Would you like to experience how chanting can be, as Paramahansa Yogananda said, a form of yoga and inner communion with the Divine? Join the Self-Realization Fellowship nuns’ kirtan group for a 90-minute kirtan (devotional chanting) and meditation, as part of the 2025 SRF World Convocation — a free weeklong program of talks on Paramahansa Yogananda’s “how-to-live” teachings and meditation techniques, guided meditations, virtual pilgrimage tours to the ashrams where Yogananda lived and communed with the Divine, online fellowship, and more.

Paramahansa Yogananda said: “A song born out of the depths of true devotion to God and continuously chanted, audibly or mentally, until response is consciously received from Him in the form of boundless joy, is a spiritualized song. Such songs like live matches produce the fire of God-awareness whenever they are struck on the foundation stone of devotion.”
