and you yourself will become beautiful." –Swami Kriyananda |

 Crystal Hermitage is the spiritual heart of Ananda Village and the home of Swami Kriyananda, Ananda’s founder. Beautiful terraced gardens, expansive vistas, and peace await all those who visit.
Find solitude in our lovely Chapel, inspired by the Porziuncola of Saint Francis in Assisi, or visit The Shrine of the Masters, which houses artifacts and relics of Ananda's Line of Yoga Masters and other saints.
The Hermitage Gift Shop is full of exotic products from around the world, as well as crafts from Ananda's artists.
The Hermitage offers an inspiring venue for weddings, receptions, workshops, and community events. Once a year we host a Spring Open House to delight our visitors with thousands of tulips, flowering cherry trees, and the stunning views of the Yuba River Canyon.
Our Guest House, just steps away, provides a relaxing atmosphere to rejuvenate and inspire your spirit. The two-bedroom house overlooks the Yuba River Canyon and is surrounded by trees. It is a perfect getaway for vacation or retreat.
