Ananda Sangha

About

We’re all about coming together as a spiritual family. At Ananda Sangha, I see how much it helps to be with people who want to find a little more peace and meaning. Whether you’re new to all this or have been meditating for years, you’ll find a mix of quiet, joy, and support here.

What Happens at Our Gatherings

• Sunday mornings are for our main satsang. There’s devotional chanting (kirtan) to lift the mood, plus a mix of guided spiritual meditation sessions and practical talks rooted in Paramhansa Yogananda’s teachings.
• After the main events, we share prasad, chat, and just hang out as gurubhais (spiritual friends).
• Sometimes we hold Arti (ceremony of light) to wrap things up, and it’s honestly a beautiful little ritual.

Beyond Sundays: More Ways to Connect

• We do regular meditation and devotional chanting events outside of Sundays, for anyone who wants to go deeper or just be in good company.
• Spiritual holiday celebrations like Guru Purnima, Janmashtami, and Christmas are big for us. They’re full of stories, chanting, and a sense of togetherness.

Our Sangha Spirit

• Community seva activities are a huge part of what we do. We get together to help out, whether at the center or outside.
• Every so often, we organize pilgrimages to places that mean something to our path.

How to Join Us

• We meet at our Ulsoor and Whitefield centers, the Ananda Bangalore Retreat, and other spots like Indiranagar for bigger events.
• Many gatherings go online too, so you can join our online satsang gatherings from wherever you are.

If you’re looking for a group that’s warm, welcoming, and a little bit quirky, you’ll probably feel at home.
