Self Realization Fellowship Headquarters, Mt. Washington

Self-Realization Fellowship (SRF) is a worldwide religious organization founded in 1920 by Paramahansa Yogananda, the Indian guru who authored Autobiography of a Yogi. Before coming to the United States, Yogananda began his spiritual work in India in 1917. He came to the West in 1920 and in 1925 established SRF's headquarters at Mount Washington, Los Angeles, California. Yogananda's teachings include meditation techniques intended to promote awareness of God and one's soul. SRF conveys these techniques through a home-study course, and they publish Yogananda's books and lectures. SRF also coordinates the Worldwide Prayer Circle, who pray for world peace and those in need. Paramahansa Yogananda founded SRF in 1920 and served as head until his death on 7 March 1952. In 1925, he established the international headquarters for SRF in Los Angeles, California. The three-story building had originally been opened in 1909 as a hotel. SRF now calls it Mother Center. After Yogananda's death, SRF preserved his bedroom in the building as a shrine. Yogananda had a vision of the Mount Washington hotel prior to leaving India. He knew that the hotel was to be his headquarters.
