Convocation is an opportunity to connect with others seeking greater peace, joy, and meaning, and to take part in a worldwide spiritual community. Online tours, meditations, and talks will be simultaneously translated and available in German, Italian, Spanish, and Portuguese.

Established by Yogananda in 1950, the annual Self-Realization Fellowship Convocation is for anyone drawn to meditation, inner growth, and a deeper understanding of life’s purpose.
