Ananda's Spiritual Roots

Membership in Ananda

 

 

 

 
Swami Kriyananda (J. Donald Walters) is a direct disciple of Paramhansa Yogananda and the founder of Ananda. Swami Kriyananda spent 3-1/2 years living closely with his Guru, Paramhansa Yogananda, the great Indian master and author of Autobiography of a Yogi. He went on to become vice-president of Self-Realization Fellowship, the organization Yogananda founded. After leaving SRF, he founded Ananda in 1968, recognized as the most successful spiritual community in the world.

Swami Kriyananda's books and music have sold over 3 million copies worldwide and been translated into 24 languages. His over eighty published works seminally explore the application of the teachings of Self-Realization to daily life. Topics include leadership, education, creativity, and moral values.

The greatness of
a spiritual teacher
is only partially revealed by
the work of his own hands.

The rest of the story is one he cannot tell for himself. It is the influence of his consciousness on those who come in contact with him — whether for a brief moment, or for a lifetime of spiritual training. This is the story told in a book entitled Swami Kriyananda As We Have Known Him by Asha Praver.
