Teachings from the Masters of Kriya Yoga
Timeless wisdom from Paramhansa Yogananda and Swami Kriyananda that guides our daily practice and inner peace.
A profound teaching from Paramhansa Yogananda on true friendship. He reminds us that the magnet in our heart that attracts loyal friends is unselfishness and the practice of thinking of others first.
"Whether one becomes a saint or a sinner is to a great extent determined by the company he keeps." This wisdom from Swami Kriyananda highlights the importance of satsang, or good company, on the spiritual path.
Swami Kriyananda teaches that one of the most important things on the spiritual path, especially for a newcomer, is the wise selection of associates. Surrounding yourself with uplifting people is essential for your growth.
A quote from Swami Kriyananda reminding us that happiness is found in the present moment. It is not a distant goal but a series of small, conscious decisions to be happy right now.
About Inspiration from Our Gurus
You will often hear these specific teachings discussed during our Sunday morning satsangs in Indiranagar or Whitefield. We break down these quotes to apply them to modern challenges like work stress or family dynamics, making the path of Kriya Yoga a lived experience rather than just a philosophy.
At Ananda Sangha, these teachings serve as the foundation for our entire approach to life. We believe that spiritual growth is not a solitary pursuit but a journey best taken in the company of like-minded friends, or 'gurubhais'. When you join our gatherings, you are stepping into a space where we actively practice what the masters taught.
Our study groups and satsangs are designed to move beyond theory. We take these profound concepts—whether it is the importance of right company or the art of finding happiness in the present moment—and explore how to integrate them into your 9-to-5 life in Bangalore. For those looking to deepen their practice, we offer structured courses ranging from basic meditation and energization exercises to advanced Raja Yoga and Kriya preparation.
Whether you visit our centers in Halasuru, Whitefield, or participate in our residential retreats in Kanakapura, you will find that these quotes reflect the very atmosphere we aim to create. It is a welcoming, non-sectarian space where beginners are just as valued as long-time Kriyabans. If you feel called to explore these teachings further, our doors are open.
