Captain Joy

I used to feel my grief is wider than the universe I live in, that I'll never know what joy is. Then I found Yogananda who led me to Ananda Sangha and my life is nothing but a joyride so full of light. Ananda is the divine switch that transformed my life from pure darkness to ever new light.

What stands out in Ananda Sangha is the approachability of everyone, regardless of their position in the organizational hierarchy. I have never felt the presence of a hierarchical structure because every member is readily accessible and willing to provide spiritual guidance and advice. This embodies the essence of true spiritual living.

Explore Kriya Yoga

But the greatest benefit of Kriya Yoga, which is a technique of meditation, is the positive transformation it brings in our own consciousness. Through Kriya practice, we become aware of an untapped reservoir of subtle energy within us. By learning to direct this energy to higher centers of consciousness in the brain, we begin to experience our own highest potential.

Autobiography of a Yogi

The Book that Sparked a Spiritual Revolution!

“The characteristic features of Indian culture have long been a search for ultimate varieties and the concomitant disciple-guru relationship. My own path led me to a Christlike sage whose beautiful life was chiseled for the ages. He was one of the great masters who are India’s sole remaining wealth.”
- Autobiography of a Yogi, Chapter 1
The deeper the self-realization of a man, the more he influences the whole universe by his subtle spiritual vibrations, and the less he himself is affected by the phenomenal flux.” These words of Master’s often returned inspiringly to my mind.
Chapter 16, Outwitting the Stars
