"I met Paramhansa Yogananda fifty-six years ago. Since then I have remained his devoted disciple. And I become more certain every day that what he brought to the world was something of which the whole human race stands in desperate need." -------words from Swami Kriyananda's foreword to the Indian edition of Autobiography of a Yogi

Swami Kriyananda
Prolific author, accomplished composer, playwright, and artist, and world-renowned spiritual teacher, Swami Kriyananda refers to himself simply as "a humble disciple" of the great God-realized master Paramhansa Yogananda.

Swami Kriyananda spent 3 1/2 years living closely with his Guru, Yogananda, the great Indian master and author of Autobiography of a Yogi . He went on to become vice-president of Self-Realization Fellowship, the organization Yogananda founded. After leaving SRF, he founded Ananda in 1968.

Kriyananda's books and music have sold over 3 million copies worldwide and been translated into 24 languages. He is the author of 80 books on a variety of topics including leadership, education, creativity, and moral values. His best-selling titles include Meditation for Starters, The Path - A Spiritual Autobiography, Money Magnetism, The Essence of Self-Realization, Affirmations for Self-Healing, Education for Life, and his best-selling Secrets gift books.

A composer since 1964, Kriyananda has written over 300 musical works. His music is soothing, uplifting, and inspiring. Many of his new albums are instrumental works that contain brief affirmations or visualizations. Chuck Dilberto, of Awareness Magazine says, "Kriyananda's words and music are full of his life and light. His sole intention is to heal, something we could all use during these chaotic times."
