Question

Has Swami Kriyananda found liberation and God?

Nayaswami Devi

Ananda Village

Answer

Your question actually has two parts and therefore needs two answers. First, has Swami Kriyananda found liberation? There are different stages of liberation. In the jivan muktan state, you have advanced to the stage where you acquire no new karma, but may have residual karma from the past to overcome.

Question

What state of samadhi has Swami Kriyandaji attained?

Nayaswami Devarshi

Ananda Village

Answer

Swami Kriyananda doesn’t ever talk about his own spiritual attainment or level of samadhi, though many people do wonder! The last few years he’s frequently commented that he is feeling deep bliss at all times. So that may be a hint.

Question

Jai Guru,

I dont know if its appropriate to ask this or not , Is there a way to meet Swmai Kriyananda in person .?

Nayaswami Seva

Ananda Village

Answer

Dear Priyanka,

At the moment, if you are in Pune, India, there is a great chance to meet Swami Kriyananda. He is living there in an apartment complex with other devotees until his house is built on land that Ananda Sangha has purchased. He is giving satsangs — to find out about these, check the Ananda India website. He is scheduled to come to the US around June or July. Keep in touch with the Ananda website.

Bless you, Seva
