Joy Is Within You!
Ananda is a global movement based on the teachings of Paramhansa Yogananda, who showed how everyone can realize God in their daily lives as a tangible, loving reality.
Ananda was founded in 1968 by Yogananda’s direct disciple, Swami Kriyananda, who has been widely recognized as one of the leading spiritual teachers in the world.
Yogananda’s teachings embrace the truths that underlie all the great religions. People from all faiths and backgrounds are welcomed at Ananda.
There are Ananda Communities, Teaching Centers, and Meditation Groups all over the United States as well as in Europe, India, and Latin America.
