Meditation

The soul loves to meditate, for in contact with the Spirit lies its greatest joy. Paramhansa Yogananda

For over fifty years, thousands have looked to Ananda Worldwide for quality meditation instruction. Whether you are interested in managing stress or in exploring the spiritual side of meditation, you will feel at home in an Ananda class.

Meditation is one of the most natural and rewarding of all human activities. It gives direct, intuitive experience of higher realities, and is the cornerstone of true spirituality. It also brings balance, rest, and a growing inner peace. While its highest and original purpose is to help us awaken our inner, spiritual nature, the benefits to body and mind are well established by medical research.

Practiced on a daily basis, meditation produces profound results on all levels of your being—physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual. It connects you with your own inner powers of vitality, clarity, and love.

Kriya Yoga

Kriya Yoga, controlling the mind directly through the life force, is the easiest, most effective, and most scientific avenue of approach to the Infinite.Paramhansa Yogananda

Kriya Yoga is a meditation technique that quickly accelerates one’s spiritual growth. It was first made widely known by Paramhansa Yogananda in his Autobiography of a Yogi.

Kriya is taught at Ananda Sangha just as Yogananda taught it — as a comprehensive spiritual path. Its effectiveness has been experienced by thousands of dedicated Ananda Kriya Yogis, from all walks of life, religion, and nationality.

According to Yogananda, Kriya is the most effective practice available to mankind for reaching the goal of Yoga: union with the Divine. Kriya is also very practical in its effectiveness. Kriya Yogis find that the practices enhance their ability to concentrate, to become more effective in business and in family life, and to become better people in every way.
