OUR INSPIRATION
Sri Sri Paramahansa Yogananda who is widely recognized as the “Father of Yoga in the West”, founded Yogoda Satsanga Society of India (YSS) in 1917 and Self-Realization Fellowship (SRF) in 1920 to make available the universal teachings of Kriya Yoga, a sacred spiritual science that originating millennia ago in India to help people across the world to overcome physical, mental and spiritual sufferings of life and fill it with love, peace, joy and harmony.
His world-renowned classic "Autobiography of a Yogi" has been honoured as one of "100 Best Spiritual Books of the Century". The book has brought wonders in the lives of millions and is often recommended as a must-read for those in search of their own Self. Acknowledging his exemplary life and service to the humankind in 1977, on the occasion of the 25th anniversary of Sri Sri Paramahansa Yogananda's passing, a special commemorative stamp was issued in his honour by the Government of India.
Hon'ble Prime Minister of India, Shri Narendra Modi, paid tribute to the life and works of Paramahansa Yogananda released a postage stamp commemorating the 100th anniversary of Yogoda Satsanga Society of India in March 2017. The 125th anniversary of the Spiritual Master was honoured through the release of commemorative coins of Rupees 125 by the Union Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman on October 29, 2019.
