Who Are We?
Ananda Sangha is not an organization – but a “fellowship” of people who are dedicated to realizing higher consciousness and to helping humanity evolve spiritually through the teachings of Self-realization.
Our Inspiration
Paramhansa Yogananda
Paramhansa Yogananda is the author of the famous spiritual classic “Autobiography of a Yogi“. A blazing spiritual light to millions of truth-seekers across the globe, Yogananda’s message of the unity of all religions and the path of Kriya yoga continues to be heard and appreciated by those who are keen to realise truth in their modern-day lives, regardless of age, religion or ethnicity.

Swami Kriyananda
Swami Kriyananda was the founder of Ananda Sangha and a direct disciple of Paramhansa Yogananda. Having met Yogananda at the age of 22, he dedicated his life from that point onward to the spreading of his Guru’s message of God-Realization. As a Divine Friend he inspired many on the search for Truth by his deep devotion and kindness.

Let us celebrate this holy Christmas by discovering its profound mystery.
Embrace the message of Jesus and let it descend, like snow, gently covering everything, into your heart: Christ lives in us, and in Him dwells the endless ocean of Truth.
Join us in online events and satsangs, and be inspired by video messages, blogs and our advent calendar!
The act of giving opens us up to the flow of God’s abundance.
If we give love, then we open the flow of love in our lives, as long as we are open and giving, the flow continues. The same is true with friendship, joy, energy, money, and more, all begin to flow more abundantly in our lives.
Find out how others experience the Joy of Giving and be inspired.
