SUMMARY:Yogananda's Birthday Celebrations & Kriya Initiation
DESCRIPTION:A devotional weekend honoring the life of Paramhansa Yogananda who brought a new expression of the teachings of Self-realization to the world through Kriya Yoga. We invite you to join us for this blessed occasion\, a wonderful way to start the New Year by re-dedicating your life to the Kriya masters\, and by moving forward in your soul evolution. \n“Yogananda was a towering giant among saints—one of those few who come from age to age\, having been sent by God with the divine mission of guiding mankind out of the fogs of delusion into the clear light of divine understanding.” – Swami Kriyananda\, in Paramhansa Yogananda\, A Biography \nKriya Yoga \n \nSpiritual masters usually empower some of their close disciples to carry on their tradition\, even during their own lifetime. This Kriya technique has been transmitted through the same sacred initiation ceremony that was performed by Babaji for Lahiri Mahasaya\, passed down through the disciples of Lahiri Mahasaya and onward through their disciples to succeeding generations. Paramhansa Yogananda’s teachings have put the technique of Kriya Yoga into the wider context of a yogic lifestyle. He had also authorised a number of his close disciples to give Kriya initiation on his behalf\, one being Swami Kriyananda. \n “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.” – Paramhansa Yogananda \nJoin us for this blessed initiation in receiving or renewing the Kriya Yoga technique with Nayaswami Shivani and Nayaswami Devarshi. Please note that only those who have been authorized to take Kriya Initiation will be able to attend the ceremony\, so please give us a call if you have any doubts about this. (You will be able to attend the entire weekend celebrations except the Kriya initiation ceremony.) For more information: retreat@anandaindia.org or call 9657713031\, 9011069792 \n\nON YOGANANDA’S BIRTHDAY JANUARY 5TH\, 2015 \nWe will even have a special celebration on the Monday 5th January\, 2015 which will include a special Satsang\, flower offering ceremony\, longer meditations\, reading and chanting… so do stay on if you can! \n \n\nThis weekend will be led by: \nABOUT NAYASWAMI SHIVANI:  \n \nRecently Nayaswami Shivani produced the new movie “Finding Happiness” that features devotees from Ananda Worldwide and Swami Kriyananda in an exciting and inspiring docudrama.

Devarshi has served the Ananda communities in Seattle\, Washington and Assisi\, Italy. He has taught throughout the United States\, as well as in Italy and Moscow.
