A Course in Discipleship

  • Ananda Palo Alto 2171 El Camino Real Palo Alto, CA, 94306 United States (map)

Thursday evenings, Jan 18th - Match 28th, 6:30 - 9pm

This course is the third step on the path to Kriya yoga.

Prerequisites to take this course include lessons in meditation and the art and science of Raja yoga

In the path of Yoga, it is easy to concentrate only on techniques and imagine that we can find God by our efforts alone. Through discipleship we learn to achieve the balance of self-effort with divine grace that is essential to spiritual progress.

The techniques of yoga only help us cooperate with the flow of grace in our lives. It is only through grace, drawn from the guru by the sincere disciple, that real inner transformartion occurs.

In this 10-week course we will explore the principles of discipleship, and especially to Paramhansa Yogananda and his line of Gurus.

In our study we have the unique gift of Swami Kriyananda's guidance though his writings, coming from life long practice of discipleship and attunement to his Guru, Yogananda.

Each class will include at least 45 mins of guided practice (energization exercises and meditation), followed by a break for pot luck and sharing snacks.

Swami Kriyananda’s book A Course in Discipleship will be provided for free with course registration.

Please contact us if you are in need of financial assistance. If you have already received Kriya yoga initiation through Ananda you are welcome to audit this course free of cost.

Fee $195
