Welcome to Ananda Bangalore

We are dedicated to living and sharing the life and teachings of Paramhansa Yogananda and the Self-Realization Line of Gurus. Ananda Sangha was founded by Swami Kriyananda, a direct disciple of Paramhansa Yogananda.

We offer inspirational satsangs, classes on the path of Kriya Yoga and spiritual topics, guided meditations, book-study, yoga, healing prayer sessions and spiritual Sunday for kids on a regular basis.

Learn to Meditate

“Through regular practice of meditation, the mind becomes more and more calm, and the soul is able to reflect more clearly in the consciousness.” — Paramhansa Yogananda

Kriya is taught at Ananda Sangha just as Paramhansa Yogananda taught it — as a comprehensive spiritual path. Its effectiveness has been experienced by thousands of dedicated Ananda Kriya Yogis, from all walks of life, religion, and nationality. In Level 1 you will learn two basic techniques that can be practiced by anyone, of any faith, on any path. The Hong-Sau technique of concentration and the Energisation Exercises. We have classes both Online and in-person. Our In-person classes usually take place at – Rotary Club Indiranagar in Bangalore.

Ananda Sangha Bangalore offers a compassionate service where anyone in need, whether physically, emotionally, or spiritually, can request a healing prayer.

Yogananda recommended that we approach God as His child with faith and trust and pray with devotion until all our doubts fall away. When we feel Divine Joy permeating our entire being, then we know that God is responding to our prayers, and that He will heal us according to divine will – in the way that is needed for our highest good. Healing prayers are sent to others by drawing on this unlimited divine energy and then projecting it to the person in need.

Requests can be submitted online, and trained volunteers pray deeply for the person’s well-being.

Ananda Sangha Bangalore hosts a weekly online meditation every Thursday to honour God and Gurus, and to seek their blessings for inner peace, joy, and spiritual upliftment.
You are warmly invited to join us in devotion and to deepen your attunement ever more.

Sunday, July 20 from 9:00 – 10:00 AM

“For where two or three are gathered in my name, there am I among them.”

Ananda Sangha Bangalore offers weekly group meditation sessions that provide a supportive environment for deepening your spiritual practice. These gatherings typically include guided meditations, chanting, and teachings based on the wisdom of Paramhansa Yogananda.

Whether you’re new to meditation or an experienced practitioner, these sessions offer a chance to connect with like-minded individuals and experience the peace that comes from shared spiritual practice.

“Satsanga, or good company, is stronger than will power. If you want to be spiritual, keep in the company of spiritual people.”

— Paramhansa Yogananda

Ananda Sangha Bangalore offers a Sunday Service that blends meditation, devotional music, and insightful talks rooted in the teachings of Paramhansa Yogananda and Swami Kriyananda. The atmosphere is warm and welcoming, fostering a sense of community and inner peace.

Ananda Sangha offers immersive chanting workshops designed to deepen spiritual practice through the transformative power of music. Rooted in the teachings of Paramhansa Yogananda and Swami Kriyananda, these workshops focus on devotional chanting (kirtan) as a tool for inner awakening.

As Paramhansa Yogananda beautifully said, “Chanting is half the battle.” Through heartfelt repetition of sacred sounds, the restless mind is calmed, the heart is uplifted, and a deep connection with the Divine is awakened. The chanting workshop includes instruction in playing the harmonium with devotional chanting.

Testimonials

Our lives have been uplifted by attending Ananda Sangha classes. Me and my wife have been visiting here since last two years, and the teachings have transformed and touched our lives in such subtle ways that cannot be expressed in words. Only way we can express ourselves is through our gratitude. Thanks Roma ji and Haridas ji for your guidance and love. The divine Guru's blessing has transformed our lives.

Saikat Banerjee

There are group meditations, chanting sessions and service. You just know, inwardly, that God is present with you during the sessions. If you want to learn an advanced meditation technique, or simply want to be in the company of spiritual souls, then this is indeed the place you are searching for.

Kailash Nath Menon

This is the best place in Bangalore where one can learn meditation and Kriya yoga. The acharyas there are very much experienced and authentic. They teach meditation techniques taught by Paramahansa Yogananda. It doesn't looks like a commercial place at all. I liked their way of teaching, the behavior of the people and the ambiance of the place. So I would like to recommend this place to anyone who wants to learn meditation seriously and not as time pass and fun.

Anoop K.S

The techniques of Kriya Yoga are based on the teachings of Paramhansa Yogananda, author of a book 'Autobiography of a Yogi', a spiritual classic. Kriya Yoga changes the person from inside out. Being on this spiritual path has helped me connect with my inner self and helped me grow spiritually. Feel blessed to be a part of Ananda family! Best time to connect with other members from Ananda is on a Sunday. Every Sunday we have a Satsang where we have chanting, meditation and spiritual talks, there is also Ananda Yoga classes and Sunday school on life skills for children. Come and explore Ananda!

Somni Raman

I went to Sunday Satsangs in Ananda Sangha and talked with the Swami's and Acharyas who are very genuinely wanting to help people teaching Kriya yoga techniques and meditation so that people can find spirituality ,happiness , peace and Devotion in GOD. This is a true spiritual path for people wanting GOD and Self Realization. I feel more joyful and happier now doing Sevas and attending Satsangs. My life has changed with GOD's and Guru's blessings that exist in the Centre.

Harish Bennalli

If you have read the book 'The autobiography of a yogi' by Paramahansa Yogananda, you would definitely want to learn Kriya Yoga which is a unique meditation technique. At Ananda Sangha, you have the opportunity to learn meditation and Kriya yoga. The Acharyas at Ananda teach not only the authentic techniques but also many life lessons. For those who yearn to achieve peace and joy through meditation, I recommend a visit to Ananda Sangha.
