Welcome to SRV Associations

We are a spiritual community whose members are dedicated to living a divine life as taught and exemplified by Sri Ramakrishna, the Great Master, Sri Sarada Devi, known as the Holy Mother, and Swami Vivekananda, who brought the teachings of the Sanatana Dharma to the West in 1893.

We currently have centers in Portland, Oregon and Kamuela, Hawaii. You and your friends are welcome to come to our meditations, classes and pujas. They are always free of charge. Please check the main calendar for Babaji's teaching schedule or visit the link for a specific center to see the center's location and regular schedule.

We also offer spiritual retreats and pilgrimages to India, publish many books and devotional music CDs, a yearly paper magazine called Nectar of Non-dual Truth, and a free, online newsletter.

On our website you will find many teachings on Vedanta, Sankhya, Yoga, and other aspects of the Sanatana Dharma (eternal teachings). Along with various articles, we offer free video and audio discourses (streaming or download), as well as helpful explanatory charts by our beloved spiritual director, Babaji Bob Kindler. We are always adding more teachings to the website. Please check our news & events page for the latest updates, and feel free to contact us at any time.

A Full Course on
Patanjali’s Raja Yoga

May 28th – June 1st
Stevenson, Washington

The noble Eight-Limbed Yoga of Lord Patanjali has still to fully arrive in the West, and this is due, in part, to Europe and America’s preoccupation with yoga of a physical kind only. In this retreat, the emphasis will begin with teachings on the abiding features of yama and niyama, such as nonviolence, study of scriptures, and deep devotion to God. The five crucial steps in between the first two limbs and the eighth — Raja’s crowning glory of Samadhi — will also receive a detailed scrutiny so as to ensure a full understanding of this most comprehesive spiritual pathway.

Location: Windwood Waters Retreat site near Stevenson, WA
Arrival: Friday, May 28th, by 9:00 pm
