Testimonials
“Great class last night. Had another fantastic meditation this morning. I wanted to commend your ability to answer questions. Fantastic stuff. I really enjoy it very much.”
—Matthew Payne, Los Angeles, CA
“
Krishna Das' s meditation class was outstanding! I loved that he taught from such depth of experience. Besides learning some powerful techniques, it was great to share in discussion and group meditation with both people brand new to meditation, as well as people with long term meditative practices.
”
—Lisa
“
I have searched for a method of meditation for a long time and am happy to say that I finally found one. The Meditation Level I class not only taught me a proven and practical technique for how to meditate regularly, but it also explained, in a most clear and concise way, why it works so effectively. This is due to the unparalleled wisdom of Paramhansa Yogananda, and to Ananda LA's wonderful teacher, Krishnadas, who imparted these practices in a most insightful, intellectual, and inspiring way. ”
—Heidi
“I wanted to just thank you for your class last night. My meditation this morning was much simpler and much deeper and I am very excited to continue to learn from you.”

Introduction to Kriya Yoga
Workshop
|
Yogananda’s Autobiography of a Yogi is filled with glowing descriptions of this highest spiritual technique of Self-Realization, which he described as “the most effective device for salvation ever given to mankind.” The astral spine and spinal currents are the “wilderness” of real spiritual progress, and Kriya Yoga is the royal science that works directly with these inner currents to vitalize the brain and help one to achieve cosmic consciousness. |
In this introductory class you will learn why Kriya Yoga is so effective, what the steps are to work toward initiation, and how to apply aspects of the Kriya Science in your daily life.
Private Meditation Classes
