Vounteer
Thank you for your interest in serving the spiritual mission of Self-Realization Fellowship in Dallas-Ft. Worth. We welcome you to contact us for more information about volunteering or to serve as a volunteer on one of the committees described below. All meditation services, group activities, and operations of the DFW Meditation Group are conducted by devoted volunteers who serve in harmony with the Self-Realization Fellowship Volunteer Values. A five-person Managing Council, made up of members elected by the Group and approved by Self-Realization Fellowship, oversees the many Volunteer Committees. Even members not serving in an official capacity on committees regularly pitch in to help, particularly on Days of Service.
“Life should be chiefly service…. Every good action that you perform digs like a pickax into the soil of consciousness and brings forth a little spray from the fountain of God’s joy.”
― Paramahansa Yogananda
“I want you to know that your presence and efforts are needed.”
― Paramahansa Yogananda
