Namaste,
Thank you for visiting us.
Ananda Kriya Yoga Home Study is part of the Ananda Worldwide Movement, and is a non-profit organization, managed by Ananda India Monastery.
If you would like to donate, the first option is directly to the Home Study program, and, secondly, to the Monastery that manages the program’s operations and growth.
We share Paramhansa Yogananda’s teachings, the author of the spiritual classic ‘Autobiography of a Yogi’.
Ananda’s mission is to serve mankind in realizing their highest potential, that is, “Finding the joy within.”
Divine Abundance follows the law of service and generosity. Give and then receive. Give to the world the best you have, and the best will come back to you”
Technology,
We use various platforms, including a teaching platform, website, and support portal, for seamless operation and support. Softwares and tools help us manage database, email and whatsapp campaigns, video conferencing for online classes, and accounting.
Technology has been crucial in helping us reach more thousands and perhaps lakhs of souls in Asia and Africa
and Promotion
One might wonder why a spiritual work like this would require advertising and promotion?
Paramhansa Yogananda said, “If Wrigley’s can advertise to get people to chew gum, why shouldn’t I advertise to get them to chew good ideas?”
Devotee volunteers assist us with these tasks without any financial benefits, but we do have to hire paid staff to keep the program running. Otherwise, it wasn't possible to spread these teachings at scale.
Any efforts toward word-of-mouth advertising is also appreciated.
Note: Indian Residents can claim 50% Tax Exemption under the Income Tax old regime rules.
Monastery
The Kriya Home Study program is managed by the monks of Ananda India Monastery.
The have renounced worldly life and dedicated their lives wholly to seeking and serving Paramhansa Yogananda’s teachings.
Without marriage and family duties, Ananda monastics are fully dedicated to a life of meditation and sadhana, or daily spiritual practice. As part of their sadhana, they actively serve in helping to spread the teachings of Paramhansa Yogananda.
Every month some portion of student donations go towards supporting the monks who give their time and energy to this project. Your donation can support the monks and ultimately the entire project of Kriya Yoga Home Study.
Your support, small or big can help us sustain our work and grow.
We’ll be able to reach out to thousands of spiritual seekers who are still not touched by Yogananda ji’s teachings.
“Many volunteers that help with different tasks without financial recompense, and some of the paid staff are Ananda Members who are true renunciates, in that if they were working elsewhere in the world they would draw salaries probably 5 to 10 times more what they earn with Kriya Home Study. But they have decided to use their time and energy to serve mankind.”
