5 Reasons This Course is Unique
While there are many approaches to the topic of Harmonious Relationships, this course:
- Picks up the topic of relationships from its highest point: that the purpose of life is to help us realize our true nature as divine souls and to actualize our highest potential.
- Is based on the teachings and writings of Paramhansa Yogananda, one of the leading spiritual lights of our times, and of his direct disciple and founder of Ananda, Swami Kriyananda.
- Is designed to be practical, not theoretical: the ancient science of yoga will come alive for you, giving you clear guidelines to help navigate life’s constant twists and turns.
- Is taught by Nayaswami Jyotish and Nayaswami Devi, Ananda’s Spiritual Directors, who have been using these yogic principles in their own lives and in counseling others for over 50 years.
- Comes with abundant video, audio, and written material on each topic, which is vastly enriched by supplemental personal attention and feedback

Over the 50 years of service through Ananda, they’ve written several books, lectured widely across the globe on numerous topics, counseled many students who’ve sought their counsel from different walks of life, started and guided the inception of projects and businesses for supporting Ananda, and helped establish new Ananda communities in the US and Italy. Additionally, they’ve been instrumental in working personally with individuals to carefully and lovingly nurture many of the current residents, teachers, and leaders at Ananda.
