About this collection
We often hear that the spiritual path requires complex rituals, but as these stories show, it is really about the simple, daily practice of attunement. Whether you are navigating a demanding career or family life, our discourses focus on practical ways to bring the teachings of Paramhansa Yogananda into your routine, helping you feel centered even in the middle of a busy Bangalore day.
Our gatherings are not just lectures; they are opportunities to immerse yourself in the living wisdom of Paramhansa Yogananda and Swami Kriyananda. We believe that spiritual truth should be practical, not theoretical. Our talks bridge the gap between ancient Kriya Yoga principles and the realities of modern life in Bangalore.
