Among Paramahansa Yogananda's published works, the Self-Realization Fellowship Lessons are distinctive in offering detailed instructions in the yogic techniques of meditation, concentration and energisation that he taught, including Kriya Yoga.
The purpose of these simple yet remarkably effective techniques is to teach you how to work directly with energy and consciousness, enabling you to recharge the body with energy, awaken the mind's unlimited potential and become more aware of the Divine Presence in your life.
The Lessons were compiled under Paramahansa Yogananda's direction from his writings and the many classes and lectures he gave. In addition to comprehensive meditation instructions, they offer practical guidance on every aspect of spiritual living: how to live joyfully and successfully amid the constant challenges and opportunities of a changing world.
Each lesson is six to eight pages long and is intended to be studied over a week. The full Lessons course takes approximately three years.
