Paramhansa Yogananda (bliss)Universal Science & Art of Kriya Yoga
Based on the teachings of Paramhansa Yogananda

Ananda was founded in California 40 years ago by Swami Kriyananda, a direct disciple of Paramhansa Yogananda of 60 years. Yogananda, the first yoga master to take up permanent residence in the west, came to America in the 1920's to highlight the common thread in the underlying essence of all spiritual paths. The path of Kriya yoga stresses the necessity of devotion and love for God in combination with scientific techniques of meditation in order to realize our highest Self - to realize that indeed "The Kingdom of God is within".

If you are looking for more peace, more joy, and more love in your life, please look around our site and consider visiting with us at one of our events, listed below.

Affirmations, Prayers & Quotes

Divine Mother from Yogananda's childhood - Stories of Mukunda by J. Donald Walters (Swami Kriyananda)Divine Mother: "The Living Kali"
"Mother with lotus feet!" he cried. "Mother with hair spread like rays in blessing over creation, sweeping to nothingness men's sorrows! Mother with light of laughter dancing in Your eyes! Mother, whose smiles twinkle in a myriad stars! Your child is calling You; Your little child longs for Your love. O Mother Divine, come to me! Tear asunder this veil of darkness which hides you from me!"   >>

Devotion
In the quest for God, the unfolding of the heart's natural love, in the form of deep devotion, is the prime requisite for success. Without devotion, not a single step can be taken towards Him. Devotion is no sentiment: It is the deep longing to commune with, and know, the only Reality there is.   >>

Ways in Which God Can Be Worshiped
"The Infinite is the Mother behind all human mothers, the true Father behind all human fathers. He is the ever-loyal Friend behind all earthly friends. He is the eternal Beloved behind all human loves. He is all things to all men, because, you see, the Lord is everything."   >>

The Blissful Devotee and His Cosmic Romance
Beyond reach of doubt, I was convinced that Master Mahasaya was in intimate converse with the Universal Mother. It was deep humiliation to realize that my eyes were blind to Her who even at this moment was perceptible to the faultless gaze of the saint. Shamelessly gripping his feet, deaf to his gentle remonstrances, I besought him again and again for his intervening grace..   >>
