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

March 15, 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.
