Swami Kriyananda 2008 Visit to Ananda Village
June – September, 2008
The Chance of a Lifetime…
to meet a direct disciple of Yogananda.
Note: Swami Kriyananda’s visit and presentations are tentative, and depend on his good health.
Teacher of meditation and yoga to thousands; author of over 85 books and composer of more than 400 songs; founder of eight communities worldwide: Swami Kriyananda shines out as one of the great spiritual lights of our time.
He relates joyously and lovingly to the God within every person. He helps you experience your own divine potential, and the confidence that you, too, can express it in your life. It's an experience you won't forget.
2008 Schedule (Tentative)
Swami Kriyananda is in America to celebrate his 60th spiritual anniversary of discipleship and Ananda’s 40th.
