Ananda Sangha

Would you like to join an international group of people who share interests similar to your own? Are you interested in receiving regular news and inspiration from Ananda? If yes, we invite you to join us on the journey to self-realization through Ananda Sangha.

"Ananda" means "divine joy" and "Sangha" is the Sanskrit word for "fellowship." Together, "Ananda Sangha" is our "fellowship of divine joy," an extended family of friends, students and spiritual seekers who share an interest in Paramhansa Yogananda and the work of his direct disciple, Swami Kriyananda. Ananda Sangha offers you resources to maintain an inspirational connection with Ananda and the tools to strengthen your inner life.
