When will I be able to access the Lessons in the app?
The project is a comprehensive enhancement and expansion of the Self-Realization Fellowship Lessons. The revised Lessons were begun by Paramahansaji in the final years of his life, and he instructed Sri Mrinalini Mata to complete them according to his instructions for publication and distribution to a worldwide audience. Attend these classes by enrolling for the Self-Realization Fellowship Lessons, either before or during the week-end program. Further information and applications for the Lessons are available from the Mother Center, through our website, or at the event itself. Yogoda Satsanga Society of India disseminates the teachings of Paramahansa Yogananda in India, Bangladesh, Bhutan, Maldives, Nepal, and Sri Lanka. If you reside outside of one of these countries, please apply for the Lessons through Self-Realization Fellowship (SRF). SRF is our sister society, which Paramahansaji founded in 1920 to disseminate.
We are offering the digital format as an additional resource but not as a replacement for the paper Lessons. We therefore want students to receive the paper Lesson before that Lesson is unlocked in the app. While the app will list all the Lessons, a Lesson in the app will be available to read only after the corresponding paper Lesson reaches you (i.e., one week after the paper Lesson is dispatched domestically, two weeks internationally).
Why can’t I get the Lessons on my computer or Windows devices?
At this time, the proprietary software for delivering these confidential studies is only available through our SRF Lessons app. We are exploring the possibility of making the Lessons available on computers and Windows tablet devices in the future. However, the auxiliary content—written, audio, and video—included with the new edition of the Lessons is available on the online member portal of the SRF website. That content is accessible in a browser window on all computers and mobile devices.
On how many devices can I install and use the app?
You can install and use the SRF Lessons app on up to 10 Apple (iOS) and/or Android devices simultaneously.
How do I access the auxiliary materials for a Lesson?
Click on the multimedia button that appears under each Lesson title. Please note that there are no auxiliary materials in the “Overview,” “Highest Achievements Through Self-Realization,” and “Preface.” The auxiliary materials are available starting with Lesson 1.

The auxiliary material that accompanies each Lesson is only available streamed, not as a download. Streaming this content ensures the security of copyrighted material meant solely for students of the Lessons.
How do I get support if something is not functioning correctly in the app or if I want to report a bug?
From the home screen of the app, click on the Settings icon in the top right corner, and then select “Support.” This will create a draft email in which you can type in details of the problem and send the email. The more information you can provide about the problem, the easier it will be for us to respond quickly and effectively.
If you are unable to open the app to access the support menu, please send an email to apptechsupport@yogananda-srf.org describing the problem in detail, giving your device make, model, operating system, etc. The more information you can provide about the problem, the easier it will be for us to respond quickly and effectively.
What “Permissions” need to be given during installation of the app and why?
The app needs the “Media, Photos and Storage” permission to store Lessons data and allow offline functionality.
The app also requires notification permission if you would like to receive study reminders and notifications of new Lessons that become available.
