Our Spiritual Community and Fellowship
Welcome to our spiritual family. We invite you to experience the peace, joy, and deep sense of fellowship that grounds our practice, meditations, and gatherings.
Welcome to our Sunday Satsang, a morning of peace and spiritual renewal. Here, we gather as a community for quiet meditation, listen to uplifting chants led with the harmonium, and share in the wisdom of our gurus, all centered around a beautifully prepared altar.
Immerse yourself in the divine melodies of kirtan with Nayaswami Haridas and Roma. Devotional chanting is a core part of our practice, helping to open the heart and prepare the mind for deep meditation and inner communion.
A joyful moment with our spiritual family, our sangha, at the Ananda Bangalore Retreat. We believe that spiritual community, or satsang, is one of the greatest supports on the path, and we cherish these times of shared joy and divine friendship.
A moment from a spiritual discourse with Nayaswami Jyotish, where he explores the profound question, "Who am I?". Our talks are rooted in the practical, life-changing teachings of Paramhansa Yogananda, offering guidance for your spiritual journey.
Our altar, beautifully decorated for our Janmashtami celebration. We honor our line of gurus, including Paramhansa Yogananda and Swami Kriyananda, with flowers, candles, and devotion, creating a sacred space for worship and meditation.
Hear directly from Acharya Venkat, a long-time member, as he shares what Ananda means to him. He speaks about the power of our spiritual family and the transformative blessings of the guru that he has experienced at our serene retreat center.
We gather around a sacred fire, offering our attachments and limitations into the flames. This powerful ritual symbolizes purification and the burning away of worldly desires, leaving only the pure aspiration for the Divine.
About this collection
You will find more than just meditation instruction here, you will find a group of friends who practice together. Whether we are meeting for Sunday satsang at our centers or gathering for retreats on the outskirts of Bangalore, we prioritize the company of fellow seekers to keep our practice consistent and vibrant.
At Ananda Sangha, we believe the spiritual path is best walked with others. Our community is built around the teachings of Paramhansa Yogananda, offering a non-sectarian approach to Kriya Yoga that welcomes everyone, regardless of experience.
We meet regularly at our centers in Halasuru, Indiranagar, and Whitefield to share in the joy of practice. Our weekly satsangs are the heart of our community, featuring devotional kirtan, guided meditation, and talks that apply ancient wisdom to the challenges of modern life.
For those seeking deeper immersion, we host residential retreats at our center on Kanakapura Road, where silence and nature create a space for profound introspection. We also believe that community is not confined to physical spaces, which is why many of our events include an online component, allowing you to join us from anywhere.
We are not gurus, simply fellow travelers sharing what has helped us find a still, happy place within. If you are looking for a spiritual home that is warm, welcoming, and grounded in practical, scientific techniques to calm the mind, you will find a place for yourself here.
