Meditation
Instructional Classes and Seminars
Whether you seek to make
meditation part of your daily life or simply want
to learn more about this
profound practice, we have instructional classes
to fit your needs.
Meditation is our specialty:
It's the central component in nearly everything
we
do at Ananda. The
time-tested techniques we offer are grounded in
ancient traditions yet
immediately practical for modern needs. Our meditation instructors have
personally practiced these techniques every day (usually twice
a day) for
at years. Some have been meditating for almost three decades and
continually draw inspiration and guidance from others who have
meditated for half a century.
We would love the opportunity
to share this experience with you through
the following classes, most of which
includes appropriate support materials.
Even if you've learned to
meditate elsewhere, we also invite you participate in our
group meditations to support your ongoing
practice.

Discipleship is, for
those who want Self-realization, a necessary step along the way.
Contrary to most expectations, discipleship is the student's
commitment to a teacher who has attained the realization the student
is seeking, and who has the ability to guide that student into full
realization of their oneness with Spirit.
This is Step III of the Path of Kriya Yoga.

Techniques and subtle
understandings that make the practice of Kriya Yoga powerful and
effective. Kriya Yoga is a tremendous spiritual practice, universal
and fulfilling. It is the cornerstone of the Path of Kriya Yoga.
"I myself consider
Kriya the most effective device of salvation through self-effort
ever to be evolved in man’s search for the Infinite.”
