This temple is a branch of Self-Realization Fellowship, founded by
Paramahansa Yogananda in 1920 to
disseminate the scientific method of Kriya Yoga Meditation.
If you want to know more about Self-Realization Fellowship and the
Kriya Yoga meditation techniques, the best introduction is to read
Autobiography of a Yogi, published in
1946 by Paramahansa Yogananda.
You may want to explore the SRF Mother Center site, and sign up for bi-weekly SRF Lessons, or read about the aims and ideals of Self-Realization Fellowship. The Phoenix temple regularly conducts public lecture services on Sundays at 10:00AM. Please refer to our our lecture schedule. Everyone is welcome. 
You are welcome to submit a prayer
request for yourself, your family, or friends. Monastics as well as
lay members pray for those in need and for our world family as a whole.
