What will be your spiritual legacy?
For more than half a century, Ananda has been carrying forward Yogananda’s mission all over the world. Over a million people every year participate in programs through our on-site and online resources.
Our trained teachers travel widely, sharing the teachings of Self-realization through centers, communities, and hundreds of meditation groups all around the world: in the United States, Europe, India, South and Southeast Asia, Southern Africa, Australia, and New Zealand.
Through these efforts, the transformative power of these teachings continues to inspire and uplift humanity, ensuring their enduring influence for generations to come.
"My body shall pass but my work shall go on. And my spirit shall live on. Even when I am taken away I shall work with you all for the deliverance of the world with the message of God."Paramhansa Yogananda
Continuing the Legacy
These words from Yogananda remind us that his work and spirit transcend time and space. His legacy lives on in each of us who have been touched by his teachings, and through us, it will continue to reach future generations.
As those whose lives have been blessed by his guidance and transformed by his love, we have a unique opportunity to participate in his far-reaching mission—not only today, but for generations to come. Thanks to the creation of the Yogananda Legacy Foundation, we now have a powerful way to help carry forward his enduring mission.
"The legacy of Paramhansa Yogananda is that consciousness which will change you and make you as he was. There is no greater glory that you can give him than to become more and more like him, not in his mannerisms, but in his devotion, his joy, his ability to see everything as Divine Mother’s play. Nothing else matters."Swami Kriyananda
The Yogananda Legacy Foundation is a non-profit foundation established in Europe for the express purpose of offering each of us the opportunity to be forever a part of his spiritual legacy. Donations while living, and bequests to the foundation in one’s will, will ensure that Yogananda’s mission can continue long into the future.
To this end, funds received by the Foundation will be channeled exclusively to non-profit Ananda Associations in Europe and around the world and will support, on a project-by-project basis:
- Ananda-based schools
- Cooperative spiritual communitiesÂ
- Meditation centersÂ
- Academies for training teachers and ministers; scholarships funds
- Institutes for health and healing, uplifting arts, spiritual business
- Publication of books, films and musicÂ
- Homes for the elderly, orphanages, monasteriesÂ
- and many other initiatives
