In 1920, Paramhansa Yogananda, author of the spiritual classic, Autobiography of a Yogi, came to America to bring the science of Raja Yoga to the west. He was sent with the mission to show the essential unity of all religions which can be experienced by all people who practice inner communion with God. Yogananda also came to teach the “Original teachings of Jesus Christ” and the “Original yoga teachings of Bhagavan Krishna”. The cornerstone of his teaching is the Kriya Yoga meditation technique for communion with God and the application of yoga principles to all aspects of life. The Anandagiri Path of Self-Realization is a spiritual family dedicated to living and sharing the life and teachings of Paramhansa Yogananda. It was founded by Swami Vijay, a disciple of Paramhansa Yogananda since 1969. It has been Swami Vijay’s good fortune to receive his training since 1972 from Swami Kriyananda, one of Yogananda’s foremost direct disciples. We offer meditation and yoga sessions, private and group instruction, Spiritual Mentoring, Spiritual Community, special events and Sunday Service. We invite you to attend so that you can experience the peace and joy of spiritual fellowship. We look forward to meeting you. Namate, Swami Vijay
