Yogananda's teachings (expressed through himself, and his direct disciple Swami Kriyananda) embrace the truths that underlie all the great religions. People from all faiths and backgrounds are welcomed at Ananda Madison Meditation Group. We invite you to join us at our classes, workshops and meditation and spirtual gatherings to experience the joy of your own being.
 

Ananda is an amazing worldwide organization that is dedicated to sharing with the world the teachings of Yoga, that Parmhansa bought to the West.  Yogananda was the first Yoga Master of India to take up permanent residency here in the USA.  He taught practical soulutions for everyday life through the art and science of yoga meditation.

"There is enough energy in one human cell to power Chicago" Paramhansa Yoganada.  Our modern science now proves this statement Yogananda made back in the 1920's.  Why not discover how to master your energy with Yoga Meditation's practical teachingsas taught by this great Master.

Meditation is not a religion, one can be an atheist and meditate deeply.  Meditation deepens your faith if you do have one, without imposing or conflicting on your faith.  Ananda speaks very much of the science of knowing God through Yoga Meditation - it's belief is similar to that of Buddhists - and yet their faith never mentions God.  You could just as easily say Higher self, Life, Creation, All that is, or our Greatest Potential.  Whatever belief system you align to, know that meditation is universal and very powerful.

The information we share with you about yoga meditation is from Paramhansa Yogananda and Ananda worldwide, it's premier training programs and it's fantastic website www.ananda.org

Here is an 8 minute Youtube video introduction of Paramhansa Yogananda's Energization Exercises  which are one of his unique contributions to Yoga. Watch a very interesting Sunday service celebrating Paramhansa Yogananda. It is from 2010 and is honoring Yogananda's life and particularly his anniversary of his exit from his body in 1952.  This is a fantastic introduction to who Paramhansa Yogananda is and what his mission was and is, here in the USA.  And see rare live footage of Paramhansa Yogananda peforming a wedding ceremony!
