“Meditating together increases the degree of Self-realization of each member of the group by the law of invisible vibratory exchange of group magnetism.”
Program
View or print SRF Sunshine Coast Meditation Circle’s program and roster of Sunday services, special services, and socials for May to August 2024.
The regular venue is Valdora Community Hall, 360 Valdora Road, Valdora.
The alternative venue CWA Hall, 11 Stevens Street, Yandina is used when the Valdora venue is unavailable.
All are welcome.
Those unaccustomed to meditation may find the readings service at 10 am more suitable as it has shorter periods of meditation, with readings from the writings of Paramahansa Yogananda including scripture interpretations.
8 am meditation services start with a prayer and chant, with a 10-minute break at 8:50 am and a 15-minute break at 9:45 am before the readings service.
9 am meditation services finish at 9:45 am.
SRF Sunshine Coast Meditation Circle also host one-day silent retreats three times each year. See our retreats page for more details and to register.

**Self-Realization Fellowship temples and meditation groups throughout the world observe special commemorative ceremonies and meditations each year. Some dates, such as Easter, change each year. Our group commemorates on the closest Sunday to the observed date.
Please bring a favourite flower and a sealed donation as symbols of devotion and loyalty to the SRF path. We send donations from commemoration services to Mother Centre to help support the worldwide spiritual and humanitarian work of SRF.
Though commemoration services are primarily intended for SRF students, all are welcome who are familiar enough with SRF teachings to appreciate the significance of the Guru–disciple relationship and to participate in the service with sincerity and reverence.
“Devotion is the secret key, for God cannot resist the outpourings of great love from a true devotee’s heart.”
