It is a timeless scientific method for working with the life force to bring greater stillness\, intuition\, and inner joy. Enlightened sages have taught it for thousands of years.  Patanjali mentions it in his Sutras\, and Krishna mentions it in the Bhagavad Gita. Kriya works by giving the practitioner control of the life force. Through life-force control\, the yogi can overcome all obstacles that prevent union with the divine. The Kriya technique was kept secret for many centuries. It was revived in 1861\, when the great yogi Mahavatar Babaji taught the technique to his disciple Lahiri Mahasaya. Lahiri then taught the technique to his disciple Sri Yukteswar\, who taught it to his disciples\, including Paramhansa Yogananda. \nYogananda then popularized Kriya Yoga through his book Autobiography of a Yogi and through his public teaching in the West. Kriya has been taught in an unbroken link of spiritual succession to this day. \nThis session will help you understand the purpose\, benefits and the power of Kriya Yoga.

Our selection of chants will include chants written by Yogananda and his direct disciple\, Swami Kriyananda. While most kirtans may energise you in the moment\, their inspiration is not long-lasting and often more restless than devotional.

It is a timeless scientific method for working with the life force to bring greater stillness\, intuition\, and inner joy. Enlightened sages have taught it for thousands of years.  Patanjali mentions it in his Sutras\, and Krishna mentions it in the Bhagavad Gita. Kriya works by giving the practitioner control of the life force. Through life-force control\, the yogi can overcome all obstacles that prevent union with the divine. The Kriya technique was kept secret for many centuries. It was revived in 1861\, when the great yogi Mahavatar Babaji taught the technique to his disciple Lahiri Mahasaya. Lahiri then taught the technique to his disciple Sri Yukteswar\, who taught it to his disciples\, including Paramhansa Yogananda. \nYogananda then popularized Kriya Yoga through his book Autobiography of a Yogi and through his public teaching in the West. Kriya has been taught in an unbroken link of spiritual succession to this day. \nThis session will help you understand the purpose\, benefits and the power of Kriya Yoga.

Our selection of chants will include chants written by Yogananda and his direct disciple\, Swami Kriyananda. While most kirtans may energise you in the moment\, their inspiration is not long-lasting and often more restless than devotional.

You can then begin your journey of learning Kriya Yoga through the courses offered at Ananda Sangha. \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Frequently Asked Questions \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Are seats reserved?Seats are available on a first-come\, first-served basis.

Our selection of chants will include chants written by Yogananda and his direct disciple\, Swami Kriyananda. While most kirtans may energise you in the moment\, their inspiration is not long-lasting and often more restless than devotional.
