Join us in person or online (sign up to receive link)

A rare opportunity. Asha has had a ring-side seat to 50+ years of the Ananda communities movement. From the beginning, she was both a participant in and a keen observer in the fascinating drama that has unfolded.

And what a wild ride it’s been! This will be fun, informative, and a sneak peek behind the scenes of life at Ananda.

  • What have we learned?

  • What are the principles of intentional spiritual living?

  • How do we apply them in our lives, and in the groups we are a part of?

  • What part would you like to play in this story?

Asha worked closely with Swami Kriyananda for many years. She was a founding member of Ananda Village for 16 years, and guided the development of Ananda Palo Alto, the 2nd largest of Ananda’s communities in the world today. When Asha is not in residence here, she teaches throughout the world, fulfilling Swamiji’s request that she become Ananda’s Global Ambassador. Her Instagram and YouTube posts have touched millions.

Contributing members of Ananda are welcome to join the class in-person free of cost.

Story with Ananda with Asha

Asha Nayaswami was with Swami Kriyananda almost from the beginning of Ananda. He knew her destiny was to write about him and promised that he would help. He answered her (many) questions, and often explained himself to her, his motives, and the principles that guided him. She had a front row seat to the unfolding of Ananda, and has spent a lifetime sharing her unique experiences with others. She is a founding member of two Ananda communities and now, at Swamiji’s request, serves as a “Global Ambassador” for Ananda worldwide. See her YouTube channel and Instagram feed for more, and her website for upcoming lecture tours.
