Going Deeper with Kriya Yoga
8-10 July
with Nayaswamis Jaya and Dhyana, Spiritual Directors of Ananda India
“Practice Kriya night and day. It is the greatest key to salvation. Other people go by books and lesser practices, but it will take them incarnations to reach God. Kriya is not only, as I’ve often said, the airplane route to Him, but also the greatest way of destroying present temptation. When you feel that joy within, no evil will be able to touch you. To you, sense pleasures will then seem like stale cheese compared to the nectar of God’s joy.”
— Paramhansa Yogananda
During this weekend you’ll join together with other Kriya initiates (kriyabans) to explore the depth and practice of the technique, how to deepen your life as a Kriya Yogi and how to make your practices more effective. This weekend is only open to people who are already practicing kriyabans in Paramhansa Yogananda’s lineage.

Take the blessings of this retreat even deeper, by adding a seclusion!
To encourage all kriyabans to take the deep blessings of this special weekend even deeper, we have a special offer: add a seclusion of at least 3 days to your stay, either before or after this retreat, and we’ll give you a 33% discount on the seclusion to help make it more affordable for you.* July is in the middle of monsoon season, the most inward time of the year, so this is one of the best times for a seclusion. It’s also a beautiful time to be here, with cool weather and lots of waterfalls!
* Rs 1000 instead of Rs 1500 per day, our single-occupancy rate. A private room is essential for a real seclusion.
