It is the nature of God to express His perfection through man, but man’s mind is so filled with the outer things of life that there is no time or place for the inner Real Self to come forth. Since the attainment of health, success, and happiness by material methods is limited and uncertain, you must learn how to receive health and energy from Cosmic Energy, how to receive the power to create at will the things you need by learning the art of super-concentration, and how to receive happiness from the actual contact of the Supreme Inner Being and Force.

🪷Honoring Swami Kriyananda's Discipleship🪷

On this sacred day, we honor the life of Swami Kriyananda - a life offered at the feet of his beloved Guru, Paramhansa Yogananda.

On September 12, 1948, a young seeker came before his Master with one simple prayer in his heart:
"I want to be your disciple."
That moment became the beginning of a lifelong journey of love, devotion, service, and self-offering,
For Swami Kriyananda, being Yogananda's disciple was his greatest treasure. Through every challenge and every triumph, he sought only to serve his Guru, to live his teachings, and to share his light with others.

From that devotion grew Ananda - a living expression of Yogananda's vision of "simple living and high thinking," and a spiritual family reaching hearts around the world.

Today, 78 years later, we bow in gratitude to a great disciple who showed us that the path to God is walked with love, loyalty, humility, and joyful service.

Thank you, beloved Swamiji, for showing us the beauty of discipleship.
May we, too, learn to live at the feet of the Guru -- with open hearts, willing hands and love for God above all.

Jai Guru!

“The scene was a Kumbha Mela at Allahabad,” Lahiri Mahasaya told his disciples. “As I wandered amidst the throng of monks and sadhus who had come from great distances to attend the holy festival, I noticed an ash-smeared ascetic who was holding a begging bowl. The thought arose in my mind that the man was hypocritical, wearing the outward symbols of renunciation without a corresponding inward grace. “No sooner had I passed the ascetic than my astounded eye fell on Babaji. He was kneeling in front of a matted-hair anchorite. “‘Guruji!’ I hastened to his side. ‘Sir what are you doing here?’ “‘I am washing the feet of this renunciate, and then I shall clean his cooking utensils.’ Babaji smiled at me like a little child; I knew he intimating that he wanted me to criticize no one, but see the Lord as residing equally in all body-temples, whether of superior or inferior men. The great guru added, ‘By serving wise and ignorant sadhus, I am learning the greatest of virtues, pleasing to God above all others — humility”’

These words of the Master’s must be seen in the context of his spiritual power. He himself told me, in speaking of his Ranchi school, that he used sometimes to lead the boys above a dangerous waterfall. “Do you believe in God?” He would cry loudly. “Yes!” came the shouted reply. No one was ever hurt. The Master related to me, and unfortunate sequel to that story. “Years later, after I’d come to America, one of the teachers tried to do the same thing: He took the boys over the waterfall as I had done. He lacked spiritual power, however. One of the boys slipped, and fell to his death.
“True faith,” the Master concluded, “comes only from actual spiritual experience. It cannot be presumed.”

Is meditation just a thoughtless state? 🧘‍♀️✨

Meditation is much more than simply quieting the mind or stopping thoughts. It is a journey inward, a deeper experience of stillness, awareness, and connection with the Divine.

Explore a deeper understanding of what meditation truly means through the teachings of Paramhansa Yogananda. 🙏
