Dedicated to ensuring universal access to the body of Paramhansa Yogananda for ALL, and the creation of a non-sectarian shrine for Yogananda's body

Self-Realization Fellowship (SRF) last year announced that they have withdrawn their plans for a major expansion on Mt. Washington. The plans included a private mausoleum for the body of Paramhansa Yogananda. Many people ask 'why are you opposed to SRF taking Yogananda's body and installing it in a shrine on SRF property?' Read the many comments of people opposed to a sectarian, SRF shrine for Yogananda's body.

This pause in the action provides an opportunity for all parties to seriously consider the idea of a non-sectarian Universal Shrine to house Yogananda's body.

Many Yogananda devotees feel that the Master himself would be pleased to see his disciples cooperating in such a project.
