FIND EVENTS NEAR YOU
Supportive friendships and satsang are an important part of our spiritual lives. Join fellow truthseekers for classes or community events at one of our 8 communities or over 164 teaching centers and meditation groups. Don’t have an Ananda center near you? Our vibrant Online Community events will soon be included in the Ananda App.

We’re still working to add events, blog posts, and videos from more Ananda locations. If your group, center, or community has these and they aren’t showing, let us know, or ask your center leader to get in touch.

“All the events I have attended so far have nourished my soul and helped me strengthen my relationship with the Divine. I look forward to participating in more events over the course of the future. Thank you Ananda!”
— Poornima Kadambari, Canada

WHAT IS ANANDA?
Ananda is a worldwide movement to help you realize the joy of your own higher Self through meditation and yoga. Ananda is based on the teachings of Paramhansa Yogananda and was founded by his direct disciple Swami Kriyananda in 1968.

Ananda has grown to include 8 residential communities, over 164 teaching centers and meditation groups and a vibrant online community. Ananda provides places of learning, spiritual support, and fellowship to all sincere seekers.

“Ananda touches my life and heart every day... It is the most inclusive living path that continues to remind us that God is not out there but in our hearts.” —Walnut Creek, CA
