Welcome to Ananda Chico Meditation Center. Ananda means “bliss”, and we welcome you to join us in the joy and peace of group meditation and spiritual fellowship. We follow the teachings of the great Indian yoga master, Paramhansa Yogananda, who wrote the spiritual classic, Autobiography of a Yogi.
Our Ananda motto, “Joy is within you!” is symbolized by the above design, created by Swami Kriyananda, who is a direct disciple of Yogananda and the founder of Ananda Worldwide.
Our deep and sincere wish is to support you in finding your pathway to inner peace and joy. We hope you will join us in creating more love, peace, and joy in our hearts and throughout our communities.
