### My story

We’re just a bunch of gurubhais, walking the Yogananda path together in namaste spirit. Some of us read 'Autobiography of a Yogi' and—boom—life changed. Swami Kriyananda started all this, wanting sanghas where folks could live these teachings, not just talk about them. We’re not gurus, just fellow travelers, sharing what’s helped us find joy inside. We chant, meditate, do seva, and try to be a spiritual family. Come join, feel at home.

### My work

- **Meditation, Kriya Yoga & Spiritual Events**: We offer Learn to Meditate classes, Kriya Yoga initiation, weekly satsangs, group kirtan Bangalore, and retreats.
- **Non-sectarian Kriya Yoga Path**: Everything’s based on Yogananda’s teachings—a practical, scientific way to calm your mind and touch the Divine.
- **Beginners Welcome**: No experience needed, just an open heart. Our intro classes make meditation easy and friendly.
- **Community & Seva**: Satsangs, seva (service), and spiritual retreats Bangalore—real chances to connect, purify, and grow together.
- **Deeper Spiritual Study**: For those further along, we hold Karma and Reincarnation workshops, Kriyaban technique reviews, and advanced retreats.
