Voices of Our Sangha: Spiritual Community in Bangalore

At our Ananda Yoga Kendra in Halasuru, we host weekly Sunday satsangs where we practice Energization Exercises, sit for guided meditation, and conclude with Kirtan. These sessions are intended to be a simple, inclusive space where anyone interested in the Kriya Yoga path can meet fellow seekers in a relaxed, pressure-free environment.

Sangha is the Sanskrit word for community, and for us, it is a spiritual anchor. We believe that while meditation is a personal practice, the support of a community makes the journey more consistent and joyful.

We are a group of friends following the teachings of Paramhansa Yogananda, and our gatherings reflect this. You will find that our sessions are never formal lectures. Instead, we share practical wisdom through stories, guided meditation, and Kirtan (chanting). When we meditate in a group, the stillness is often deeper, and the energy we create together supports everyone in their individual practice.

Whether you are visiting us for a half-day workshop in the city or a full-day retreat on the outskirts, the focus remains on the same goal: finding that still, happy place within. We invite you to join us, share in the prasad (blessed food), and become part of our spiritual family. If you are new to meditation, these gatherings are a wonderful way to learn the basics. If you are a long-time Kriyaban, it is a chance to deepen your practice with like-minded friends who understand the challenges and joys of the path.
