About Ananda Sangha Kolkata in Pallavi Apartments, 17 Ballygunj Park Road, Ground Floor, Kolkata

Ananda Sangha is a place where we come together and develop inner joy by practicing the teachings of Paramhansa Yogananda. There are regular courses on meditation, satsang, pilgrimage opportunities and activities to boost ones inner qualities and spiritual growth.

Meditation is one of the most important skills you can learn. With its practise, you will find yourself becoming noticeably calmer, happier, and more loving.

Swami Kriyananda, the founder of Ananda, has said, “The peace of your soul awaits you at the centre of your own being”, and it is meditation—more than anything else—that will help you discover, and live in, this peace.

Kriya Yoga is the most advanced technique of meditation, brought back after long dormancy to the world by Babaji. Our sequence of meditation classes help prepare you increasingly for this great gift, if you choose to accept it.

The meditation practises we offer are based on the teachings of Paramhansa Yogananda, as taught by his direct disciple, Swami Kriyananda. These teachings are nonsectarian and offer practical solutions to the challenges of modern life.

If you are new to meditation—or have not yet established a strong daily practise—we encourage you to begin with the link below: “Learn a Simple Technique Online”. The technique you will learn is one of the most sacred and ancient of all yoga practises. If you have tried other meditation methods before, but without real success, the depth of this technique can work wonders for you.

Helping people learn to meditate is our greatest joy, so please contact us if you have any questions.
