What is Ananda Sangha?

Ananda is a global movement founded by Swami Kriyananda based on the teachings of Paramhansa Yogananda, who showed how all can realize the presence of God in their daily lives as a tangible, loving reality.

Through ancient practical techniques of meditation, Kriya Yoga & simple-living, Ananda teaches you how to live in joy.
