The Tucson Meditation Group is made up of friends and members of Self-Realization Fellowship, a worldwide, non-profit religious organization with international headquarters in Los Angeles, California. Self-Realization Fellowship was founded in 1920 by Paramahansa Yogananda for the purpose of disseminating Kriya Yoga, a definite scientific technique for attaining personal experience of God.

Through its worldwide service and teachings, Self-Realization Fellowship seeks to awaken greater understanding of the harmony underlying all true religions, and a fuller expression in this world of the love that unites all people when they realize their oneness with God.

The TMG Council for 2010 includes:
Coordinator, Vicki Merley 520.818.6576 ~ vlmerely@gmail.com
Secretary, Stephen Murray 520.882.5623
Treasurer, Bill Pattalochi, 520.745.0548

Wednesday, Friday & Sunday Evening Meditations - Please consider joining your fellow devotees every Wednesday, Friday & Sunday evening for group meditation (see schedule on other side.) Master taught, “Group meditation is a castle that protects the new spiritual aspirants as well as the veteran meditators. Meditating together increases the degree of Self- Realization of each member of the group by the law of invisible vibratory exchange of group magnetism". It’s a wonderful opportunity to recharge yourself spiritually and help others reach their spiritual goals, too. All are welcome and deeply encouraged to attend.

Bookstore - Self service counter is only open at service times. Purchases can be made only before or after services as that's the only time anyone is there.There is currently a wide selection of books, CDs, DVDs, cassette tapes, incense, meditation armrests, rukshadra beads and much more! The “Self-Service” sales counter is always open, so purchases can be made anytime. You can feel extra good about your purchases as all bookstore proceeds are used to fund our on-going TMG operations. (If you’d like to volunteer for Bookroom Staff, please contact Sara Roberts at 520.296.7311.)

TMG Socials - We are trying to add monthly social events at the chapel. Please note the new dates for 2010 potluck socials, January to June. (January 31, February 28, March 28, April 25, May 23 & June 27th.) Please bring a vegetarian dish to share.
