Our Weekly Services

Group Meditation Services

Boston Center of Self Realization Fellowship provides an opportunity for sincere seekers to come together for united effort in communing with God on the altar of stillness within. To help achieve this, it is important that meditation services reflect a calm, quiet, reverent atmosphere conducive to deep communion with God. Most participants find it helpful to maintain this spirit of silence as much as possible before, during and after meditation services. While maintaining this spirit of silence, greeting one another quietly and warmly after the services promotes harmony and friendship among the group members.
