Ananda in Texas is a meditation and yoga community dedicated to practicing and sharing the precepts of Self-realization introduced to the west by Paramhansa Yogananda and shared through his direct disciple Swami Kriyananda. We offer effective techniques such as meditation, raja yoga, the Path of Kriya, as well as spiritual community. We have active communities in both Dallas and Austin for nearly 30 years.
Our mission is to further spread the practice of yoga based on the teachings of Paramhansa Yogananda and his disciple Swami Kriyananda toward the goal of Self-realization, and the practical applications of those teachings and ideals in all areas of human endeavor.
Ananda in Texas holds these objectives toward that goal:
To stress the need for spiritual experience over religious dogma.
To stress the fundamental spiritual unity of all humankind.
To promote the practical application of spiritual principles in daily life.
To engage in various service activities for the betterment of the community at large
Joy is Within You
Our primary mission is bring upliftment through meditation techniques, inspirational classes, spiritual guidance and support. During the pandemic, we vacated from our teaching center of over 20 years. We relocated in East Richardson in 2022 and have been in the process of re-forming our community post -COVID through the many activities and gatherings at our new Ananda Sangha House. Your donations today will continue to support our home as a dynamic "lighthouse" to share Yogananda's teachings on yoga and meditation to all those who seek to go deeper into the yogic way of life.
Specifically, we are rasing money this NTxGiving Day to purchase an essential AED and also to remodel a bathroom to be ADA compliant.
We bring international teachers of the Path of Kriya Yoga to do retreats and special workshops for North Texans. We seek support to help offset the costs of these endeavors.
We are committed to providing an inclusive, welcoming environment for everyone regardless of race, religion, national origin, gender, sexual orientation, age, or disability, in support of their search for Self-realization and greater well-being.
