Class with Swami Kriyananda
Over the ages, Christianity had become "churchianity." Yogananda said that he had come to bring the original essence of the Bhagavad Gita and the original teachings of Jesus Christ.
–Swami Kriyananda
Class with Jyotish Novak
Our happiness depends not on outward events, nor on things or possessions, but wholly on our reaction to the events and things that happen to us.
–Jyotish Novak
Class with Devi Novak
Yogananda is the Avatar (Divine Incarnation) for this age, because all of his teachings are based on the principles of energy.
–Devi Novak
Class with Gyandev McCord
There is a sense of frenetic pace in the world today, and it is sweeping people along. Many are overwhelmed, even to the breaking point.
–Gyandev McCord
Class with Nirmala Schuppe
Simplify your life in all its aspects: not just the physical environment and your desires, but also spiritually, by going deeper and deeper in meditation.

Class with Hriman McGilloway
I have a personal campaign to remind us yogis that meditation is an act of devotion, of seeking union with God.
–Hriman McGilloway
Class with Anandi Cornell
To be able to see God in everyone can only come through tasting a little bit of Him within ourselves, through meditation.

Class with Bharat Cornell
Use visualizations given by Swami Kriyananda to attune yourself to the subtle realities of meditative states.

Superconsciousness is the way this community and this movement (Ananda Worldwide) has been built.
–Ananta McSweeney
Class with Sean Meshorer
If we have any success at all, it had to have come from superconsciousness. Without it, success is impossible.
–Sean Meshorer
Class with Peter Goering
Superconsciousness will bring calmness into a difficult situation. It can give you a direct solution, freeing you from the super-analytical processes of the mind.
–Peter Goering
Class with Daiva Glazzard
Success is a natural attribute of the soul.
–Daiva Glazzard
Class with Asha Praver
You have to fight the battle (of life), and if you keep asking God, he will guide your warrior's chariot exactly where it needs to be – in the superconsciousness, where we all belong.
–Asha Praver, drawing on the Mahabharata, the great Hindu epic.
Class with Swami Kriyananda
Master (Paramhansa Yogananda) has come to bring a new way of looking at the universe, at life, at everything.
–Swami Kriyananda
Class with Dave Warner
Every time we go to the meditation room, let us think, "Tonight could be THE night!" – for us to find freedom.
–Dave Warner
Class with Dharmadas Schuppe
In the practice of Kriya, one has to constantly refer to the basic principles of spirituality outlined by Patanjali in his eight-fold path of yoga.
–Dharmadas Schuppe
Class with Jaya Helin
After 40 years of practicing Kriya, I have acquired this siddha (yogic power): I can chose to be happy under all circumstances.
–Jaya Helin
Class with Devi Novak
We can't get "there" – to spiritual freedom, from "here" – the consciousness of the ego. But through the practice of Kriya we can begin to identify with the upward flowing power within us that illumines our consciousness.
–Devi Novak
Class with Jyotish Novak
Walk through life, after your daily practice of self-offering to God, in the God-created bubble of joy.
–Jyotish Novak
Sunday Service with Swami Kriyananda
Yogananda, quoted in The New Path, said, “I used to think Satan was only a human invention, but now I know, and add my testimony to that of others who lived before me, that Satan is a reality.
“He is a universal, conscious force whose sole aim is to keep all beings bound to the wheel of delusion.”
–Swami Kriyananda, Rays of the One Light
