Launch of the Kannada Translation
of the New Edition of YSS Lessons

YSS Kannada Lessons Launch Live-Stream Event - March 22, 2026 - Event Featured Image

March 22, 2026

Paramahansa Yogananda intended the YSS Lessons to be a foundational element in your personal journey to Self-realization — the awakened consciousness of your divine, immortal Self or soul, one with the eternal, blissful Spirit.

— Handbook and Glossary for Students of the YSS Lessons

Paramahansa Yogananda viewed the Yogoda Satsanga Lessons as the very core of the teachings he was ordained to bring to the world as a special spiritual dispensation for the coming global civilization. These Lessons include the comprehensive presentation of the ancient spiritual science of Kriya Yoga.

Enrolment for Kannada Edition of the YSS Lessons is Now Open!

We are very pleased to announce that the Yogoda Satsanga Lessons in Self-realization are now available in Kannada, and enrolment for these Kannada Basic Lessons series is now open.

Swami Chidananda Giri, president and spiritual head of Yogoda Satsanga Society of India/Self-Realization Fellowship (YSS/SRF), announced this epoch-making milestone during his talk on March 15, 2026. This talk was live-streamed from the SRF International headquarters in Los Angeles, USA, at the close of the March 2026 Sadhana Sangams conducted by YSS.
