Yogoda Community Project

Philadelphia, Pennsylvania,

United States

Yogoda Community Project is a group of individuals dedicated to creating a spiritual community based upon the teachings of Paramahansa Yogananda. Company is stronger than willpower. Our goal is to create an environment that will be conducive to spiritual growth, a community whose goal is God-communion. The uplifting influence of spiritual companions is an invaluable help along the path to the infinite.

A daily routine of meditation will be the backbone of living at Yogoda, along with plain living and high thinking. Service to God, guru, and each other will be our standard way of living.

Currently, Yogoda has some members living cooperatively in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, as a stepping-stone to forming our eventual rural community. Fully realized, Yogoda will be a community of around 30 residents. We have an e-mail discussion list. We are looking to join forces with other devotees. If you are interested in being part of Yogoda, please write, call, or e-mail us to get more information.

Yogoda is not formally affiliated with Self-Realization Fellowship or Yogoda Satsanga Society of India.
