AnandaLog shares conversations, talks, and articles from the members of Ananda Sangha, a worldwide association of disciples of Paramhansa Yogananda, author of Autobiography of a Yogi, and students of his direct disciple, Swami Kriyananda.

      New articles appear on AnandaLog weekly. Older articles are archived by subject. To receive an email notification whenever new material appears, email editor@[the name of this site].

      Topics range from the simple to the sublime, from housecleaning to meditation, from gardening to raising happy kids.

     A key point of Yogananda's world mission was the formation of small, cooperative communities where people could lead a life of "plain living and high thinking," with work and worship in one place. Of Yogananda's many disciples, only Swami Kriyananda took this aspect of his guru's mission to heart. The story of Kriyananda's life with Yogananda, and the founding of Ananda, is told in The Path: Autobiography of a Western Yogi, and A Place Called Ananda. (The links will take you to free online versions of these and other books.) For more information about Ananda, Paramhansa Yogananda, and Swami Kriyananda, see the AnandaLink directory, and the main Ananda Sangha website.
