Everything about this place is so good, and it's filled with positive vibes. There's plenty of place to meditate, relax, yoga or read. You can see the rooms where Sri Paramahansa Yogananda Guruji and Daya Mataji lived with their belongings well preserved. The volunteers, Nuns and Monks are really welcoming and friendly. It's just peaceful !

They have a super peaceful and beautiful green space. I brought a book with me and read for a little bit after exploring the space. There’s plenty of seating, some shaded and some not. You can hear all kinds of birds, and there’s a variety of plants to admire.
The volunteer working the visitor center was so kind and welcoming. She also advised me of other SRF locations.

Visited while hiking up the remains of the Mt Washington Incline, of which the old hotel is now the administrative building. The views are absolutely spectacular, everyone is very friendly as long as one respects the space, and the grounds look gorgeous. Somehow the minute I entered the space I suddenly was hit with this wonderful feeling of calmness. It was almost like someone flipped a switch. I ended up spending more time than I expected to just sitting within the gardens, absolutely wonderful. Plus the history is neat too. Do note though that if one plans to walk up to it, the sidewalks along Mt Washington Drive are slanted to the hill in such a way that someone in a wheelchair or other mobility device will have major difficulties. If possible have someone bring you up to the fellowship. Totally Wonderful and I will return
