You’ll receive an entire booklet of potent techniques and insightful teachings on these subjects —all from Yogananda and his direct disciple, Swami Kriyananda, and developed exclusively for this course.
Your instructors—Nayaswamis Gyandev and Diksha—have been sharing these gems of wisdom and practicality for decades. They are constantly inspired by the many ways in which these teachings and techniques have an immediate, positive impact on people’s lives. They would love to help the same thing happen for you.
