Cincinnati Yoga Meditation Group
 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

 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.. >>
