Self Realization Fellowship.
"We are all part of the One Spirit. When you experience the true meaning of religion, which is to know God, you will realize
that God is your Self, and that God exists equally and impartially in all beings." – Paramahansa Yogananda. For three
quarters of a century, Self-Realization Fellowship, a worldwide religious organization with international headquarters in Los
Angeles, has been dedicated to carrying on the spiritual and humanitarian work of Paramahansa Yogananda. Through our
worldwide service, we seek to foster a spirit of greater understanding and goodwill among the diverse people and nations of
our global family, and to help those of all cultures and creeds to realize and express more fully in their lives the beauty, nobility,
and divinity of the human spirit.

Omraam Mikhael Aivanhov.
Omraam Mikhael Aivanhov, French philosopher and teacher of Bulgarian origin (1900-1986), went to France in 1937.
One of the most striking aspects in Aivanhov's books is the enormous variety of ways in which he presents the one central question of man
and his growth in perfection. Whatever the question under discussion it is invariably dealt with in terms of how man can better
understand himself and conduct his life. And if the word can have such a reach, it is that he was himself, during all his existence,
the most living illustration of his Teaching.

Eckhart Tolle.
Eckhart Tolle is emerging as one of the most original and inspiring
spiritual teachers of our time. He travels and teaches throughout the world. He is not aligned
with any particular religion or tradition, but excludes none. His profound yet simple and
practical teachings have helped thousands of people find inner peace and greater fulfillment in
their lives. At the core of his teachings lies the transformation of individual and collective
human consciousness - a global spiritual awakening. Eckhart was born in Germany and educated at
the Universities of London and Cambridge. At the age of twenty-nine, a profound spiritual
transformation virtually dissolved his old identity and radically changed the course of his
life. The next few years were devoted to understanding, integrating and deepening that
transformation and marked the beginning of an intense inward journey. Later, he began to work
with individuals and small groups as a counsellor and spiritual teacher. He is the author of
‘The Power of Now’, a #1 New York Times bestseller that has been widely recognised
as one of the most influential spiritual books of our time. It has been translated into over 30
languages.

"Sufism is not a religion or a philosphy, it is neither deism nor
atheism, nor is it a moral, nor a special kind of mysticism, bei8ng free from the usual religious
sectarianism. If ever it could be called a religion, it would only be as a religion of love,
harmony, and beauty." - Hazrat Inayat Khan. The Sufi Order (UK) drwas its inspiration from the
work and teachings of Hazrat Inayat Khan, Pir Vilayat and Pir Zia.

The Golden Sufi Centre.
The Golden Sufi Centre is the vehicle for the work of the Naqshbandiyya-Mujaddidiyya Order of
Sufism. The purpose of The Golden Sufi Centre is to make available the teachings of this
lineage of Sufism. Naqshbandi Sufis are known as the "silent Sufis" because they practice the
silent meditation of the heart, and the central focus of The Golden Sufi Centre is its
meditation groups. At present we have meditation groups in America in northern California, Los
Angeles, Seattle, Boulder, Minnesota, Chicago, North Carolina, New York City, Boston, New
Hampshire, and Vancouver, B.C. We also have meditation groups in a number of locations in
Germany, Switzerland, England, South Africa, and Australia. The Golden Sufi Centre has
published Daughter of Fire by Irina Tweedie and several books by Llewellyn Vaughan-Lee
including his most recent books, Awakening the World: A Global Dimension to Spiritual Life,
Spiritual Power: How it Works, Light of Oneness, and Working with Oneness. Other books, audio,
and video publications about the Sufi path by Irina Tweedie, Llewellyn Vaughan-Lee, Sara Sviri, Peter Kingsley, and Hilary Hart
