"Meditation is learning to relate to life, and to your environment, from who you are, not from the way other people try to define you"Swami Kriyananda
At Ananda, we share the path of Kriya Yoga as taught by Paramhansa Yogananda. Practical and scientific, the Kriya Yoga meditation course is offered over several weeks of study and preparation, culminating in initiation into the sacred path of Kriya Yoga. You can learn in person in one of our local centers, join Ananda India online, or take our self-paced Home Study course.
