Discipleship and The Path of Self Realization

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

Thursday evenings, 10 weeks starting May 29th

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

The Path of Self Realization is a holistic spiritual path that includes the essential elements of sadhana (daily meditation), seva (service), and satsang (fellowship), practiced with the commitment of discipleship to Yogananda and his line of Gurus.

As the Indian scriptures tell us, we cannot 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 transformation occurs.

In this 10-week course we will deepen our daily practices and explore the principles of discipleship, 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.

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

A minimum of 80% live attendance is required to consider the course complete. If you have already received Kriya yoga initiation through Ananda you are welcome to audit this course free of cost.

Fee $195
