Worldwide Locations of Ananda Centers

Located around the world, Ananda’s centers act as places of learning, spiritual suppport, and fellowship. We have residential communities, temples, teaching centers, and meditation groups.

Communities and Temples

Ananda communities are comprised of a residential complex for members, a nearby temple, and often, a school and other Ananda-affiliated businesses.

They are led by Ananda ministers who live at the residential complex and offer regular classes and spiritual services at the temple.

Ananda communities and temples are wonderfully dynamic places for learning the full range of Paramhansa Yogananda’s teachings, and their application in daily life.

Teaching Centers

Ananda teaching centers offer classes, services, workshops, and retreats based on the teachings of Paramhansa Yogananda. The teaching centers are lead by certified Ananda teachers, and regularly visited by Ananda ministers.

Meditation Groups

Ananda meditation groups are places of spiritual support for like-minded souls.

Meditation groups hold regular meetings, typically in homes of members, to practice the teachings of Paramhansa Yogananda. Comprised of three to 12 participants, some are larger and meet at public facilities.
