“In Joy We Live — Celebrating Swamiji’s 60 Years of Discipleship and Ananda’s 40th Anniversary”

Swami Kriyananda

Join us in celebrating Swami Kriyananda's 60th Anniversary of Discipleship to Paramhansa Yogananda. As one of the last living direct disciples of Yogananda, Swami Kriyananda has been a powerful example of single-minded service and attunement to his guru. This weekend is the perfect vehicle for you to go deeper in attunement to Yogananda—by spending time with fellow disciples, meditating, and attending Swami's talk on Saturday. Swami also plans to give the Sunday Service (health permitting).

Give yourself the gift of this inward weekend and receive many blessings. Don't miss the last public event with Swami Kriyananda in the United States this year.
