Paramahansa Yogananda Meditation Techniques

Have you ever wanted to learn to meditate with a Spiritual Master? Join us for this rare interview with our special guest, Sister Draupadi, a monastic teacher of the worldwide Self Realization Fellowship. The organization was founded in 1920 by Paramahansa Yogananda, revered as one of the greatest spiritual figures in history.

Yogananda, author of the modern spiritual classic “AutoBiography of a Yogi“, profoundly contributed to a greater awareness and appreciation in the West of the spiritual wisdom of the East. Honored as one of the 100 best spiritual books of the 20th century, the book remains one of the most important, and most readable works on Yoga and Eastern spiritual thought.

This is a rare opportunity to learn the meditation techniques of a Master! Discover how Yogananda’s teachings continue to help people around the globe to realize and express more fully in their lives the beauty, nobility and divinity of the human spirit!

Sister Draupadi, whose name means spiritual ardor, has been a member of the Self-Realization Fellowship (SRF) monastic community for nearly 40 years. She studied at California State University before entering the Self-Realization Fellowship Ashram in 1973. Currently, she serves in a variety of capacities at the society’s international headquarters atop Mt. Washington in Los Angeles.  In addition to her position as  a secretary to SRF’s president, Sri Mrinalini Mata,  she handles various responsibilities for the society’s sister organization in India, Yogoda Satsanga Society, and is involved in the training of nuns to lead spiritual retreats. Sister Draupadi has conducted inspirational services and let retreats at SRF meditation centers in the United States, as well as in Italy, Germany, Puerto Rico and the Dominican Republic.
