What is Ananda Village?

A cooperative spiritual community dedicated to the teachings of Paramhansa Yogananda, founded by his direct disciple, Swami Kriyananda. In joy we live!

Swami Kriyananda Remembered

Perhaps Swamiji’s greatest legacy is the understanding that divine friendship transcends time and space, and that he will be with us always, continuing to guide us on our individual journeys to our home in God.
